Breast Implants: Q&A
Ask a QuestionAre 500cc Breast Implants Unsafe or Too Large for my Body?
Hello! I am 23, 5'8", 155lbs, & a 34B. I had my consultation today and the PS suggested I get 500cc implants. He suggested I get them under the muscle with the incision under my breasts. He said if I wanted silicone he would do high profile and if I wanted salene a moderate profile. I am wanting a full C or small D cup & I would like them to look as natural as possible. I tried this size on and I liked the way it looked but I was wondering are implants this large safe?

Breast Implant Size... Choices?
Hi Anon, These are my suggestions:
I would recommend you try the implant with a surgical bra to see if you like the size.
Then depending the diameter of your breast we could use a specifically shape implant to give you the shape you desire.
Importantly, I ask my pa tints what cup size they like to be.
Next you have to consider the long term effect of large implants.
Choosing the implant size is combination of art and science.
I would recommend a...

500cc MAY be perfect, but wait...
I am firm believer in not using the sizer technique to determine breast implant size. When I evaluate a patient for implants I look at the diameter and the skin and tissue pliability. 500cc may be the right size for you if the diameter matches and there is enough laxity in the skin to allow the implant to sit properly. I use high profile implants when a patient wants to be large but has a narrower diameter. When the base diameter is smaller there is more...

500cc Implants?
Based on your height, weight, starting breast size, and picture, I think that something in the 500cc HP range would work very well for you. with your height, you can accomodate more than someone who is 5'3, and still look totally proportional.

You will not look natural with 500 cc implants
Without examination it is hard to help you with the exact size,but 500 cc is too big. You have mentioned that you want to look natural,then I would suggest 325-350 cc silicone gel moderate profile. Bigger the implants,more complications and more surgeries later...

Breast implant size
The more breast surgery I do the more I realize that there is no correlation between the size of implant and resulting cup size. This may have to do with several factors including: the amount of breast volume the patient starts with, the shape of the patient's chest wall (concave or convex), the type and model of breast implant selected (saline/silicone and low/moderate/high profile), bra manufacturer variance in cup sizes, the degree of filling...

How to "look natural" with breast implants
How to choose breast implants that "look natural"
One of the most frequent requests we here from women who seek breast implants is that they would like a "full C, but I want to look natural". Trying to determine what each particular woman means when she says that is THE most important part of the consult and pre-op discussion at Hankins and Sohn Plastic Surgery associates in Las Vegas. We have performed over 3000 breast augmentations, and with that...

Implant size and you
The size of your implants is a very personal decision. In general 500cc implants are safe. The most important thing is that you are comfortable with your decision. Discuss with your surgeon in length about your desired outcome and ask his opinion.

You should choose your own implant size after receiving guidance from your surgeon.
During a typical augmentation consultation I perform measurements and a breast exam. From the exam and the measurements I propose a range of implant sizes that would "fit" the patient's body. By "fit" I mean not seem overly wide and fall into the armpits.
After giving the patient those guidelines I let them start trying on implants until they see in the mirror the image of themselves that they have already developed in their mind. This...

You need to decide on the size of your implants
In my practice I let my patients decide the size of the implants, the best way is, for you, the patient, to try differnt sizer under your bra and look in the mirror. Usually we go 1 size higher that the sizer you like, to compensate for the compression given by the muscle. Most of the time we use midprofile implants, saline or silicone, silicone give you a slightly more natural feel and look. If you want a natural look, then 500 cc implants may be too large for you, and definitively...
