Implant size selection for you

Dear Neysha: I consider two factors when selecting implants for my patients: 1.Dimensional planning 2.Gel Implant Sizing system Dimensional planning – The measurements of your chest wall are taken. Also, the breast dimensions including the height, width, and current dimensions of each breast form the basis of dimensional planning. Based on these measurements, the implant size is recommended. This will give you a unique breast implant that is suited for your body frame. Even... more

Implant size as a number tells you little about how big and how small they will look on you. It depends on many factors.

600cc seems like a big implant just because of the number "600", but how big they look on someone depends on so many different factors. The most important factors include height and weight, amount of breast tissue, how firm the breast tissue is, characteristics of the skin, and width of your breast base diameter and the shape of your chest wall and rib cage. With that said, there are certain bits of information that you provided that would steer me against recommending a... more

Large Implant for Weight Loss Patient

You have a common situation: too much skin and too little breast tissue causing deflated droopy breasts. This condition can be addressed with a) a large implant, b) a breast lift requiring scars, or c) both, which usually means a smaller implant and minimal scars. Most of my patients, athletic or otherwise are very unhappy with a large implant alone, especially if they are under 5'5".

Implant Sizing prior to Augmentation

The sizing process prior to augmentation is very important. As a plastic surgeon, we carefully consider your breast base diameter, skin pinch and various other measurements compared to your desired cup size and volume. Based on your body frame and desired goals, we will recommend a range of implants that meet your goals. Occasionally, your goals cannot be reached based on your breast measurements. It is at this point that your... more

Implant size

Recommending implant sizes for you depends on multiple factors. Selecting an implant size is dependent on patients' anatomy (height, weight, chest width, chest height) as well as patients' wishes. It is hard to give you a recommendation without examining you. You should try some sizers and talk with your plastic surgeon. Please remember that implant cc volume does not correlate with cup sizes. Also, try to look at pre and postop photos that reflect your body size and... more

Getting sized for breast implants is much more involved than it seems at first thought.

Thank you for your question and the photos. Getting sized for breast implants is much more involved than it seems at first thought. It requires a full consultation with detailed questions to see exactly what your goals are, short and long term. It also requires precise measurements of your current breast dimensions, the dimensions of your chest wall, as well as preoperative photography, standard or 3D imaging. To see what the best options are for you, see two or more... more

Is 600cc's Too Big for Silicone Breast Implants?

600cc's is likely too big for someone that is 5'3, 125 pounds. The size and shape of a woman's breasts can have a tremendous impact on her outcome. I would seek multiple opinions to see what would be best for you. Best of luck on your decision.

Large #BreastImplants After Weight Loss

It is impossible to tell you specific information without a photo or an exam, but a 600 cc implant is quite large. In addition, you should make sure that if you need a lift in relation to the breast position, do not try and use a larger implant to avoid the lift - you will only regret it. It is likely that a 600 cc implant will be much larger than a C in anyone your size. Best of luck, Vincent Marin, MD San Diego Plastic Surgeon

600cc implant size

600cc implants with your height and weight sounds a bit large for your frame. I would guess this surgeon is suggesting this large of a volume because you have loose skin (breast ptosis) due to the 45 lb weight loss. I would caution you to be careful with trying to fill in a lot of loose skin with a large implant to avoid a lift because you will only end up with much larger saggy breasts in the end. If in fact you do not need a lift but you want a really full breast then the... more
