Will 420cc Implants Make Me Very Big?

It’s virtually impossible to answer
this question without a consultation and physical examination for a variety of
reasons. When choosing breast implants
for breast augmentation, we aren’t interested in implant size, but instead,
we’re interested in the appropriate implant fit. We want to achieve harmony, balance and
proportion with the surrounding anatomic structures. It’s obvious that 500 cc implants
would have a more dramatic effect in someone who’s 5’ tall than someone who’s
6’ tall. Also, your starting breast size
would ultimately impact your final breast size and final result.In addition, it’s important to remember that
50 cc is only 4 tablespoons. Terminology
is also important.I find that not
everyone’s idea of a D-cup is the same. This potentially leads to confusion as
well.The best approach to resolve this
issue is consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon with experience in
this area.In an effort to minimize
confusion, we utilize both external implant sizers and the 3D Vectra Computer
Imaging System.These two systems help
the surgeon understand the patient’s aesthetic goals.They also significantly alleviate the anxiety
that many patients experience regarding breast implant size.

It is so important that the size you pick is one that you like.We tend not to talk about cup sizes because they are so variable by brand and band width. The rough rule is that 200cc is a cup size, but it may not come out that way.I like to use 3D imaging to visualize the implant shapes and sizes in you.That way you know what you will get.

Hello! Thank you for your question. In
general, implant size does not
correlate with bra cup size. The cup size itself will vary from
manufacturer to manufacturer as well as who is doing the actual
measurements. Thus, cup size is never a reliable indicator for your
breast size. I typically encourage my patients not to communicate her
desires in cup size but more on the actual look and appearance. Given
your desires, a breast augmentation, with an implant or fat grafting,
would be an ideal procedure that would meet your expectations. Breast
augmentation is now the most popular procedure performed in plastic
surgery today. One tolerated very well by women with minimal downtime
and high patient satisfaction. Good
communication between you and your surgeon of your expectations is
warranted - choosing your surgeon wisely is the first step. Discussion

of your wishes and having an honest and open dialog of your procedure is
mandatory (e.g, implant type, incision, placement, etc). Your height,
weight, breast width, and body habitus will make a difference for which
implant style/projection to choose. Implant
profile will also make a difference on the projection, which will
influence overall breast/cup size. I have found

that photographs brought by the patient is helpful to get a
visualization of the appearance you wish for in terms of size, shape,
fullness, etc. In addition, your surgeon's pre and postoperative
photographs should demonstrate a realistic goal for you of results.
Sizers are helpful during an in-office consultation. Once this has
been accomplished, allow your surgeon to utilize his/her best medical
judgment during the procedure to finesse the best possible result for
you after preoperative biodimensional planning and fitting the right
implant for your breast width. This is the most important determinant
for the sizing of implants, which will provide the optimal result and
most aesthetically-pleasing result for you.Consult with a
board-certified plastic surgeon well-versed in breast procedures who
will examine and discuss with you the various options and factors to
consider and help you decide which one will be the right one for you.
Hope me that this helps! Best wishes for a wonderful result!

Whichever implant size you felt the most comfortable with is the ones you should go with.  Make sure the size you are choosing is the one you really want.  You should call the office asap and let the office know your concerns rather than on the day of your surgery.

It sounds like 420 cc would be a very attractive, natural D to DD size. Don't get caught up in the #s, you can drive yourself crazy worrying about 30 cc which in reality is 6 teaspoons, and spread over a big surface area such as the breast doesn't amount to much. Most patients do wish  they would have gone bigger. However, you are also petite, so you want to see an pretty shape, with some proportionality without being over-the-top. I would trust your doctor.  You also have to realize that larger implants have more risks for complications such as surrounding tissue thinning, rippling, and sagging issues over time.
