600cc is to Big? Age 27, 5'3, 125, A Cup After Weight Loss?

You did not provide a picture so I wonder if you might not be a better candidate for a breast lift plus/minus a breast augmentation after your weight loss.  Some patients can lose 4 or 5 pounds and all of it is in their breasts.  Others can lose 20 or 30 pounds and none of it is in their breasts.  You know better than anyone how your breasts respond to weight gain/loss.  The main factor involved, however, is the shape of the breasts.  All an implant will do is add volume to your breasts.  It will do nothing to lift them.  If you are happy with the shape of your breasts now and just want them fuller then perhaps a breast augmentation is all that you need.  If your breasts are sagging somewhat then a breast lift may be in order.  This is something you will need to discuss with a plastic surgeon who can examine and advise you.  While 600 cc's seems like a fairly large volume for someone with your dimensions, sometimes that is what it takes.

Congratulations on your significant weight loss; you should be very proud of this accomplishment. Many patients who have had significant weight loss to benefit from breast augmentation (and often) breast lifting surgery. Sometimes a relatively large breast implant is necessary to achieve goals;  is quite common for patients to state that they “want their breasts back”.

As you can imagine, it is not possible to give you precise advice without direct examination and a full communication of your goals. Based on your body type, careful communication of your goals will be very important;  I would suggest that you do not base this communication ( or your satisfaction with the results of surgery) on a specific cup size.  Goal pictures and an emphasis on achieving a “proportionate” (given your height and weight) result  may be helpful.


In my practice, the use of photographs of “goal” pictures (and breasts that are too big or too small) is very helpful. I have found that the use of words such as “natural” or “full B, small C" etc means different things to different people and therefore prove unhelpful.
 Also, as you know, cup size varies depending on who makes the bra; therefore, discussing desired cup  size may also be inaccurate.


Once you feel you have communicated your goals clearly,  allow your plastic surgeon to use his/her years of experience/judgment to choose the breast implant size/profile that will best meet your goals.  Again, in my practice, this decision is usually made during surgery.


I hope this helps.
