For A Natural Look, is 500cc Modereate Plus Profile Silicone Implant Too Big? (photo)

I'm 5'8 and my weight is 155-160 pounds; my bras size is 36 B. I had one pregnacy, I breastfeed my baby for 3 month. I hve a consultation with a doctor, she recomnded 400cc moderate plus silicon implant, under the muscle; but I think I want to go 500cc moderate plus silicon implant. I really want a natural look, nothing over the top, but I dont want to go to small either. Will 500cc moderate plus be to big for me?

Breast implants size, how to decide what is an appropriate size

Thanks for your question. The appropriate size of the implant can be best determined best by the dimension of your chest wall, diameter of the breast and the amount of your breast tissue. In addition, the diameter and the projection of the implant determines the cup size. As you probably have experienced in the past, the cup size depends on the manufacturers and designer of the bra. For example, you may go to two different store on the same day and could be given two cup... more

For a natural look, is 500cc implant too big?

Have you tried a 500cc implant in a stretch bra, so you can get some idea of what size breast mound it will create when added to the breast tisue you already have? Although this may not be absolutely 100% accurate, it is better than talking numbers without having any visual information to associate with it. A 500cc implant is pretty large, but that may be what you are looking for. In addition to having patients try sizers on and choose a size or range of sizes TO AIM FOR, we try... more

Natural look for augmentation

People often ask me similar questions.You of course understand what one patient feels is too small another feels is too big. The subjective nature of the question and answer require a prolonged discussion with your surgeon, I find computer images helpful.

500cc may not be too big

The 500cc implant is large and full though given your height and weight, and adequate skin envelope the implant is likely to fit and work for you if you indeed want that much volume. If you have a good photo of the look you are after it might convince your surgeon to 'push' the volume a bit. Best of luck, peterejohnsonmd.com

Will 500cc implant be too big

Judging from your frame 500 cc's won't be too big. In my experience, the moderate plus implants underperform when it comes to projection so be open to a high profile silicone gel implant (Natrelle Style 20). The implants become teardrop shaped in the upright position and a very natural look is possible! Good luck!

Breast Implant Sizing?

Thank you for the question. Communication with your plastic surgeon will be key to achieving the results you are looking for. Unfortunately, the use of words such as “I really want a natural look, nothing over-the-top” means different things to different people. In other words, what you consider to be natural may not be what your plastic surgeon considers to be natural looking. Also, as you know, cup size varies depending on who makes the bra; therefore, discussing... more

500 cc implants

500 cc implants are fairly large. From your photos you may benefit from a lift possibly a circumareolar. But without an exam it ia hard to be sure. Good luck.

It is very unlikely to end up looking natural with very large breast implants.

Hi. I hope this article is useful to you .1) This is the most common type of question on RealSelf. 2) It is the surgeon's job to pick the right breast implants, not the patient's. Implant selection is really pretty technical. 3) Make sure your surgeon REALLY understands the look you want. Mentioning a cup size is not enough. Show your surgeon pictures of breasts you like. 4) Then your surgeon has to tell you if your chosen look is... more

Breat augmentation after pregnancy

Size is certainly an important consideration but location of the implant is equally critical. In your case your implants should NOT be placed below the muscle. The muscle will isolate the implant from your breast and in a few years the two components will separate: the implant will stay high on the chest, held there by the muscle, and your breast tissues will fall. This is an unnatural situation and will require more surgery. Gel implants are so soft and natural that... more
