Breast implants-large sizes

It may actually be too small for your frame. I normally judge the size from what the patient shows me in books that we have in the office. You can go to my site and most of the patient pictured there had implant sizes of 450 plus. Watch my videos.

How to determine the right size breast implants for you

This may be a great size for you if you have a general idea of how this will look. Check out some pictures of women with the same size implants that you're requesting and see if the look is what you desire. Also, try placing samples of the implants in your bra to get a rough idea of how you'll look after the operation. Good luck!

450 cc implants for your body habitus

Everyone is shaped a bit differently, and it really depends upon what you are looking to achieve. I have placed plenty of implants in this size range and they look size appropriate when I have done so. Since I did not examine you, I could not tell you for sure.

VIDEO: Breast measurements (not height and weight) help determine the recommended implant size

There is no perfect breast size for all seasons. What works for you now may not suit you 10 years from now. With that having been said, there are certain criteria which we use to guide our choice of implants and these are measured by a plastic surgeon during the course of a consultation. see video

Need photos to best determine exactly what you could have as for size. I think 450 cc would be enough but if you want large than go larger.

Breast Implant Size

There is a not a one-size-fits-all approach to breast implants and not every breast implant will work for every patient. The sizing and profile really needs to be determined between you and your plastic surgeon. Factors include the look you are trying to achieve and your anatomy. Good luck with your surgery.

Maybe, maybe not.

Size is only one important factor to consider when choosing a breast implant. For example, a 450 cc implant could be wide and flat, or narrow and project out from the chest. So you can see, than shape also needs to be considered. Texture, position (in front of, or behind the muscle), desired "look", and body type, are some of the other factors that will determine what you look like after breast augmentation. All of these issues should be addressed by... more
