Breast Implant Size

It is impossible to give you any advice without seeing pictures or seeing you in person. 475 is a large implant for a small person and a moderate implant in a big person. Hopefully your surgeon took the time to go over sizing and to evaluate your anatomy to find the appropriate fit. I personally prefer silicone implants because I think that they feel more natural. I am glad that you are doing under the muscle placement since that will provide more tissue cover between... more

Breast implants after weight loss

Vanessa: You provided a lot of info except for the following: How much do your breasts droop since you lost 45 lbs? Saline implants can sometimes provide support for a breast which has "deflated" either because of pregnancy/lactation or weight fluctuations. However, if your nipple is lower than the IMC (point where the breast connects with the chest wall), a large breast implant will only temporarily "fix" the problem because the weight of the saline will... more

Natural breast augmentation

Each breast has two components: skin and volume. natural looking breasts have a good balance between skin and volume, and the well-proportioned figure is in good balance top to bottom. Implants, to look nmatural, not only have to match the skin envelope but also have to be the right size for the diameter of the chest: too big and they will hang off the side and crowd the cleavage area; too small and they will look like tennis balls. Solving equations of... more

Nothing Beats An Examination

Without more information it is impossible to know if this is the correct size for you. I suggest an examination and consultation with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and member of the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons. Are your breasts sagging too? Frequently with this much weight loss a women benefits from a Laser Bra at the same time. Good Luck! Dr Grant Stevens

Implant volume

Is 475 cc's too big? It is hard to say without an exam. These are fairly large implants and in many patients that I have treated will put you in the "D" or larger class. However, all bras are different .

Best Implant Size for Me

Bra sizes are confusing. More often than not, a woman is not wearing a correctly fitted bra, doesn't know her bra size, or doesn't know how a bra is fitted. Cup size is dependent on the "number" part of the bra size... a D cup in a 34 bra is a different size from a 42 bra. That being said, bra manufacturers are not held to any uniform standards when it comes to cup size and shape... that is why one brand of bra might fit you very well for a given size, but not... more

Breast augmentation

The fact that youhave lost almost one third of your weight ,and your breasts are sagging you need to replace the lost volume of your brests. You need to have at least 450 ml. implants . One way to get some idea what size implants are your best choice would be to ask your surgeon to insert a set of sizer implants in your bra & judge it for yourself. This usually works for my patients

Size of breast implant

After losing 45lb of weight I would expect some significant degree of breast ptosis which will require an implant on the larger side (such as recommended bu your surgeon) to fill. Of course it is impossible to say without photos/examination - but my preference normally would be a breast lift and possibly a smaller implant in stead.

475cc, Too Big?

All breast sizes, big or small, are relative, but there are certain norms. A 475cc implant on a 36C breast, the end result will be around a double D. Double D’s are usually considered to be very large breasts. With that, the size of a double D breast will exert some pressure on the patients back and in the long run may cause some back problems. Most of the time a double D size is not a recommended breast size by many plastic surgeons. But again, it is important to communicate with the... more

A Natural Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation is a great surgery, but it is very challenging to determine the perfect implant as it factors in a number of variables. Your anatomy, breast size, skin elasticity and the size and profile of implant all contribute to how that implant "shows" on your body. Traditionally, a 475 cc implant is on the larger size and would lead to a more significant augmentation, especially with a "c" cup. The only way to make a good decision is to communicate with your... more
