400/450cc HP Silicone Implants for Broad Chest & Grade 1 Ptosis? (photo)

I am 5'8", 140 - 145 lbs with a broad chest, grade 1 pstosis and 45cc assymmetry. My surgeon recommends 400 & 450cc HP silicone implants, dual plane and an inframammary incision. He aims for natural results and said this should give me a D cup. Does this sound like a reasonable recommendation? I do not want them to appear too large or too far apart for my frame.

It sounds like a reasonable plan

Hello, Thank you for your question and great photos. Everything that you have stated sounds reasonable and will likely result in a good result with a cup size somewhere in the D cup range. If you have tried on the implants and they provide the result that you desire than you will likely be all set. Give some consideration to the possibility that the size difference is less than 50ml. You will want to address the size difference but will not want to overshoot it... more

Choosing the right implant size

Thanks for sharing your photos. Without examining you in person, I cannot recommend you the exact implant size for you. However, 400-450 HP seems very reasonable based on your height/weigt/photos. Please remember that bra cup size differs based on brand name. You may end up being C cup or D depending on the brand of bra that you purchase. Good luck to you.

GREAT posted photos! Yes your information posted seems very reasonable. In fact I recommend exactly what your PS has. Best of luck.

Implant Sizing

I consider two factors when selecting implants for my patients: 1.Dimensional planning 2.Gel Implant Sizing system Dimensional planning – The measurements of your chest wall are taken. Also, the breast dimensions including the height, width, and current dimensions of each breast form the basis of dimensional planning. Based on these measurements, the implant size is recommended. This will give you a unique breast implant that is suited for your body frame. Even your fitness levels... more

Would 400-450 cc High Profile implants be too large?

400-450 cc implants are on the larger size, but at 5'8" they are probably not too large for your build. High profile implants are going to not look as natural as Moderate Plus implants, in my opinion, and I use the high profile implants most commonly where a patient with a narrower chest and narrower breasts are choosing a larger implant, and that volume of implant would be too wide for their breast if we used anything other than a high profile implant. If you do not have any... more

Hello

From your pictures and your descriptions it sounds like you’re going with a good size. In our practice we tell our patients that 225cc equal about one cup size. It sounds like you’re going up 2 cups size and with the picture you have showing it should look nice. Make sure you see your surgeon and explain your concerns.

Best Breast Implant Size/Profile for Me?

Thank you for the question and good quality pictures. Although I cannot give you specific advice about the breast implant size/profile that would best meet your objectives ( without in person examination and a full communication of your goals), breast implants in the 375 to 450 mL range do seem “reasonable”. Whether high profile breast implants are the best option will depend on your measurements ( dimensional planning) and your goals. I would suggest... more

If this helps, you look so much like me! My doc has suggested 500cc but moderate plus so I'll get a better cleavage and not such a barbie doll look...but great if thats what you want! He also said under incision like you and dual plane, as it gives a better result and stops our liitle sag fro falling off the implant later on! Hope this helps. Im doing mine on 24th MAY ..YIKES!!
