When is a breast implant for augmentation surgery too big?

This is considerably larger than the average implant but your measurements indicate that you are not the average sized patient. Therefore this could be a reasonable size for you. There are numerous increased risks associated with this, and I am sure I will not even touch on half of them, but consider the following. The size of the implant has been associated with: 1.Increased risk of loss of nipple sensation 2.Increased risk for long term breast ptosis (sagging) 3... more

Large Implants May Cause Problems

The number sounds big. My main concern for you would be over time will you skin be able to support that size implant. I would recommend gathering other opinions by consults a couple of other board certified plastic surgeons. Dr. ES

Large breast implants need to be considered carefully

Without photos, it's difficult to give you a great answer given the details you provided. That said, at 5’10” and 160 pounds - and if your chest wall is quite wide - then a large prosthesis will appear less dramatic on you than a significantly smaller prosthesis in a petite woman. I have an excellent case using 600cc and will upload it soon to my new website. Of course, if your problem is one of significant skin excess, then placing a slightly smaller prosthesis with some... more

Breast augmentation

In my opinion, it is. The tissues will stretch and will cause problems later. I would recommend smaller implants.

600-650 cc implants

It is very difficult to comment on the volume of implant that would best fit you, but I would have to say that 600-650cc is pretty large.

Huge breast implants are a huge mistake.

Hi. We never use more than 500cc's. Very large breast implants stretch your tissues and age very badly. see video

650 cc. implants?

You can answer your own question by taking two ziplock bags and filling each with 650 ml. of water( approx 3 1/4 lbs.)and put them in an D cup bra and put it on to see how it would feel to carry that weight around for the rest of your life. Without pics I would say that a breast lift with smaller implants is the way to go for the" long haul" Remember, what is an asset in your 30's can be a defecit in your 60's.

Implant size

"implantology" can be tricky. The numbers don't matter as much as the dimensions, and whether the implant fits your frame. That said, the heavier and larger the implant, the higher the risk of long term complications such as bottoming out or malposition.

Big implants

Only you and your plastic surgeon can answer that question. My philosophy is not to even think about size;think about the "look". If you try on the implants in an appropriate bra with the appropriate clothing and like the way you look it doesn't matter what the implant size is or what the cup size is. It's the look you are trying to achieve. that being said, if you are choosing a larger size implant the plastic surgeon should tell you about the potential; downsides... more
