Breast Augmentation: Q&A
Ask a Question
500 Cc's Implants Already a 36dd is 500 Too Big?
I am 5'9 170 lbs with broad shoulders and very wide breasts. I am having a BA with scar revision. My current bra size is a 36DD. I want upper pole fullness. I have already had an anchor lift and I have no upper pole. My PS says to get the upper pole I need no less than 450 cc's and probably 500 with a wide implant. I'm just wanting to get some other opinions. Thanks.

500 Cc's Implants Already a 36dd is 500 Too Big?
They sound pretty big--perhaps an increase of two cup sizes. Without photos it is hard to comment. Consider posting some and asking your question again. The best way for getting a useful second opinion is in person in a surgeons office. All the best.

Photographs would be very helpful here. I generally use much smaller volumes for breast enhancement with a lift

Breast Augmentation Size
I have never understood the desire on the part of patients or physicians (especially physicians) to create unnaturally large breasts. I see 'before and after' photos at plastic surgery meetings and I almost always find myself asking the question: What's the `big' idea?
I view breast augmentation as more than a breast enhancement surgery. It is a total body contouring surgery, and the breast profile that one creates with implants should match a patient's overall figure. It should appear...

500 mL implants may be too big.
It is difficult to give you a precise opinion without examining you; however, I agree that 500 cc implants will give you at least a 2 cup size increase. I would highly recommend trying temporary sizer implants on in a bra to give you an idea of what that extra volume will feel like.

Going with large implants
Switching to larger implants may give you more upper pole fullness but only for a short period of time. They will gradually drop just like your current ones did and you will end up in the same situation you have now. To fully answer your question please send photos.

Achieving Upper Pole Fullness
Without at least the aid of pictures it is difficult to give advice. However it sounds as though you would benefit from a revision of your mastopexy (breast lift). I would caution you that this size implant will more than likely give you an approximately 2 cup size increase.
My recommendation would be to return to your plastic surgeon to discuss your concerns with them. If afterwards you still do not feel comfortable with the plan offered, then consider getting a second opinion,...

Implants and upper pole fullness
Without an exam it is difficult to comment. You may need a revision of your lift as well to give upper p[ole fullness. The implant will definitely add volume.

Upper pole fullness
Implants will only add to your volume. If you are already a DD cup then I doubt you really want to do that, especially with such large implants. Some of my happiest patients are the ones who have breast reductions to lose some of that weight that is pulling through their neck and shoulders. It sounds like you simply might need a revision of your breast lift procedure in order to redistribute the volume that you already have rather than simply adding to it.

500 cc Implants for Upper Pole Fullness after Anchor Lift
In general, I typically place smaller implants if the only goal is upper pole fullness (maybe 275 cc to 325 cc moderate profile). This tends to fill the area well without creating too much projection. Also, I am trying to protect my patients from back, neck, and shoulder problems with such large breasts. However, I do create a very tight skin envelope, perhaps tighter than many, with the breast lift. You would have to be examined or pictures would...

Best Breast Implant Size/ Profile for Me?
Thank you for the question.
As you can imagine, despite your good description of body type and goals, it is not possible to give you precise advice online.
The best online advice I can give to ladies who are considering breast augmentation surgery is:
1. Concentrate on choosing your plastic surgeon carefully. Concentrate on appropriate training, certification, and the ability of the plastic surgeon to achieve the results you're looking for. Ask to see lots of...
