Is 450 Cc Too Large - Will They End Up Droopy and Weird if I Go High Profile Silicone? (photo)
Hi - Am planning for implants and am starting to wonder if 450 are too large and will look fake or droopy. I also do a lot of sports so am not sure if they will drive me insane. Was thinking high profile silicone under the muscle but not sure if moderate plus would be better. Any thoughts based on the photo would be so appreciated. Height 5'7" Weight 135 Age 35

Best Breast Implants For Me?
Thank you for the question and picture.
Although I think this is an excellent forum for patients to receive general advice regarding plastic surgical procedures, for more specific advice pertaining to your situation you will be best off communicating with your chosen plastic surgeon.
I suggest that you choose your plastic surgeon based on appropriate training, certification, and (most importantly) the ability to demonstrate significant numbers of “results”...

High profile is NOT recommended! 450cc is on the high side, but could be just fine at 5'7" tall!
You have very pretty breasts with a natural teardrop shape, and submuscular silicone gel implants will give you a fabulous result because you look that way now. But high profile implants will look high, round, and with an unnaturally-wide cleavage ("Baywatch coconuts"), especially if you go slightly smaller than 450cc.
Based on your photograph alone, 450cc may be a bit on the big side of "best choice," especially since you are active in sports, but I would reserve that recommendation...

Sizing Of The Implants Before The Breast Augmentation
Hello,
Sizing for implants before undergoing breast augmentation is a little tricky when you confine yourself to the "cup-size" method especially that bras of same cup size differ and there is not a constant rubric to follow.
Therefore, the best bet is to try on different sizes during your consultation with your surgeon. Wearing a tight shirts is important as it helps showing a fair approximation of how your breasts size will look like after surgery.

Breast implant sizing requires precise measurements of your current breast dimensions, the dimensions of your chest wall, as wel
Getting sized for breast implants is much more involved than it seems at first thought. It requires a full consultation with detailed questions to see exactly what your goals are, short and long term. It also requires precise measurements of your current breast dimensions, the dimensions of your chest wall, as well as preoperative photography, standard or 3D imaging.
To see what the best options are for you, see two or more board-certified plastic surgeons in your area for a full and...

How to choose breast implant size? - make it fit your existing breasts and lifestyle
450 implants weigh about 450g. Get a ziplock bag and fill it with rice worth 450g. put one bag into each bra cup. Now jump around. See how it feels. If you really are a very physically active person this is certainly a factor you want to consider. The other thing to consider is that higher profile = more fake look.
The best thing is to see a board certified plastic surgeon and try different implant sizes. Discuss your goals with your surgeon and...

Is 450 cc High Profile Too Big?
Based on your photo and info you have provided, 450 cc may be a bit large for you. This will give you a DRASTIC increase in breast size and will likely not look natural on your athletic frame. Agree with your choice of silicone and placement at least partially under the muscle. Deciding on a profile is best done in consultation with your surgeon.

Large breast implants
Thanks for your question. Without exact measurments of you breast width it is hard to advise with certainty. In my practice I would advise you that that is too big given that you you sound like you are going for a leaner, fit look that suits your lifestyle. Please see your surgeon again to discuss.

Is 450 Cc Too Large
Thank you for your question in the attached photo.
Without some additional information is not easy to answer questions. 450 cc probably be a rather large augmentation for you. A smaller size is more likely to appear natural. In terms of profile, your surgeon we'll probably advise you to choose an implant that is no wider than your breast tissue. this is just a guess but I imagine a moderate plus implant the size will be wider than her native breast tissue, and if so,...

Too Large, Too Low is a DIASTER
Silicone gel implants appear more natural on thin people. I also recommend under the muscle placement. However, you may not be able to accommodate a large implant of 450 cc. Attempts to put too large of an implant will result in the implant dislocating inferiorly and laterally with loss of projection. You may be better off with a smaller implant higher and perhaps a mastopexy (Mini Ultimate Breast Lift) at the same time. You are active with sports and the...

Implants too large?
From your information, I gather that you are quite physically active, and don't want to look "fake". Given your height and weight, as well as the photo, I would guess that anything over 300cc would be too large for your goals.
