I am 5.4", 118 lbs and I want to go BIG but I dont want to have multiple surgeries. Is it possible that I can have DD or F without having too many surgeries? And what cc should I get to have them? Thanks.

UPDATE: Today I went for my first consultation. Well.. Dr. told me that I can go to 600 cc without any problem. He suggested that I should not go larger this time because of same reason; fake, thinner skin etc.But according to him, 600cc will give me good look.I just want to look good and not fake.I dont know what size i will get if i get 600

DD Cup Size Easy to Achieve, Happiness with Size Tougher

Hi alicia 1588: your goal of "DD cup size" is fairly easy to achieve surgically, but may not make you happy with your resulting look. asking for DD breasts is not very helpful in determining how many ccs. you will need to reach that size. it is likely that you are neither 34C or 36B, more likely 32D (right now!). so a DD in your rib cage size (with your small frame, i can't imagine you measure more than 32 under the breasts) is not that much... more

Big breast implants

You can go to DD ( or perhaps larger) in one procedure, but there are tradeoffs. The greater percentage of your final volume that is implant, the more your breasts will appear and behave like implants. Judging from your photo, there is probably enough pre-existing breast volume to camouflage larger implants well. Your surgeon, if he or she uses Allergan implants, will want to use the largest Style 45 (full profile) implants possible for your breast base width. Do NOT use saline if you... more

Larger breast augmentation

I think you will be able to reach your goals with 1 or 2 operations. I communicate these goals with then use of "goal pictures" of what the patient is trying to achieve because cup sizes vary depending on who makes the bra. I also use saline or silicone implants depending on the patients goals. Sometimes it is necessary to use the largest saline filled implants and overfill them to reach the size goals. The largest silicone implants made in the U.S are 800 cc implants. You should also be... more

Breast Implants - I Am 36B/34C. Can I Go BIG (DD or F) Without Having 3 Surgeries?

Hi Alicia, You can probably go pretty big, but whether or not that is truly advisable is something you'll have to discuss with your PS. First, though, from a technical standpoint, it LOOKS (from the photo) like you can have a reasonably large implant. A lot depends on things I can't see from the photo (how much extra skin you have, how thin it is, etc) but it looks like there's enough to have a fairly large implant. At least some kind of D, although I... more

Large can look wierd

Think about what you are asking for. We can always put large implants in you -- may not need more than one step - basically the largest implants are about 700ccs. But what are you accomplishing, if you make a living from your body, that is one thing, but you will stretch out your breasts and get saggier faster. Talk to a board certified plastic surgeon before doing this. Also, there are no standard sizes, so no one knows what an "F" is.

DD likely

Dear Alicia, It is likely that you could get to a double D cup size with one surgery using around a 600cc implant. An F cup might take a few operations. Good luck! see video

Size F breasts

You may want to discuss tissue expansion with your surgeon to accomplish your goals in two procedures. You may want to consider the enhanced risks of bottoming out, tissue thinning, and earlier revisional surgeries due to the large implants. Understand that the weight of these implants will accelerate your breasts sagging, and going that big will change your posture due to lower spinal stress with back pain.

Big Breasts in a couple of stages.

Doctors are wary of using extremely large implants in a single sitting for fear that the implant can cause increased complications. From your photos, it looks like you will do fine with a large implant, but "f" implant may require a second procedure to stretch out the skin. It is also important to have a large amount of your own breast tissue to make it look like breasts and not like a water balloon.
