Will a 400cc High Profile Implant Be Too Big?
I am 5'6" and weigh 106. Doctor told me I have thin skin and not much breast tissue,we would do a high profile, and could do 350 to 400cc. After thinking over this and reading and reading on the subject, I am starting become afraid I am going to be huge. I currently wear a 32B or 34A. I look at some woment and they are huge and other women aren't. I don't care about looking natural as far as "are they fake", but I don't want to look like I have two grapefruits over stretched skin either.

400 cc implant may be ok depending on your body frame
Considering your height and weight it might be possible to place 400cc implants, but it is important to know your body frame to tell you if it is going to be too big for you. Because you have thin skin and not much breast tissue, it is essential that a silicone implants placed under the pectoral muscle be used to prevent rippling. Regardless of the volume it is important that the base of the implant selected not to be wider that the base of your own breasts. A sizer could be used during...

400 cc grapefruits
Dear 'alittleconfused",
Breast implant size can be a perplexing question for anyone. There are many factors that go into deciding what size you should use. Your height and weight are helpful, however, it would be necessary to see you in person to determine the other parameters to consider: have you had children or had significant changes in weight, how much loose skiin do you have, what are the shapes of your breasts, are there any congenital anatomical changes in...

Breast Implant Results
Without seeing pictures or examining you in person, it is impossible to give you specific advice. Additionally at 400 cc implant in one person may just be a drop in the bucket while in another person they will look huge. Hopefully you have good communication with your surgeon, so that you both can decide what is the most appropriate implant for you. In most cases, a moderate profile silicone implant placed under the muscle gives a very nice result. The size and shape...

Large Implants
It is difficult to say without photos, but for your height and weight , these will give a less than natural look. The best way to determine is your breast width and matching this to the implant width. Try the rice test as well. good luck

Bigger is better?
This is one of those questions where your physical exam reveals a lot. You are probably a good candidate for Breast Augmentation surgery. AS to the size of the implant, how much "out there" do you want to be? What are your goals? Do you trust your surgeon?
Bigger is not necessarity better!

400 may be too big for your frame
Although it might be possible to put 400 cc implants in your breasts, considering your height and weight, I think it might be a bit large for you. I think that 350-360 cc implants would probably look more proportional on you. However, only a physical examination can tell. Also, it is a matter of what you want.

How to pick breast implant sizes
Article by George J. Beraka, MD
Manhattan Plastic Surgeon
1) This is the most common type of question on RealSelf.
2) It is the surgeon's job to pick the right breast implants, not the patient's. Implant selection is really pretty technical.
3) Make sure your surgeon REALLY understands the look you want. Mentioning a cup size is not enough. Show your surgeon pictures of breasts you like.
4) Then your surgeon...

Choosing arbitrary breast implant sizes can lead toward problematic results
Predictable and aesthetic pleasing results require more planning and experience than simply choosing an arbitrary breast implant size. Selecting an implant that will leave you looking great, both in the short and long term, is dependent upon your cosmetic goals, but more importantly, the amount of breast tissue you have, the width of your breast, the distance from your nipple to the bottom of your breast fold, and how thick your breast skin is, etc. While choosing a high profile implant will...

Are 400 cc implants too big for me
It is difficult to answer without seeing photos of yourself. But, I would suggest you look on the internet for photos of women who start with about your volume of breast tissue and body frame(ie amount of fat on abdomen, and muscle tone), and pick out ones you like the post operative result and look at the size implant they went with.
A plus B equals C. in other words, what you start with plus what you add will give you result. If you find that 400 cc are too big, then you have your...

400 cc High Profile Breast Implants
Picking the right size breast implants relies on a number of factors including your current breast measurements. Also the implant type can result in different looks and outcomes. 400 cc high profile saline breast implants will look rounder and posh like than 400 cc high profile silicone gel breast implants.

Too big
$00 cc implants are big.you may want to got o your doctor with the size you would like to be and put in a 300 cc implant to see if this is what you might want.

Sizing implants.
A physical exam is required to truly answer your question. From what you describe, it sounds as though your surgeon is recommending an adequate volume and projection. The high profile certainly helps to fill out breasts with lax skin or in women with narrow breast widths.

400 cc implants too big?
Clear communication with your plastic surgeon is important in achieving the desired goals of the patient. I like to communicate with patients with “goal” pictures. During surgery, I use temporary sizers to determine the size/profile that will give the patient the look she is looking for. Trying to predict the size of the implant preoperatively is not ideal. I think it is too much responsibility for the patient to choose the size of the implant. Ideally,...
