Is 600cc to Big for Me? I Am Age 29, 5'5, 165lbs, 38B cup.
I am 29 years of age. I had 3 children very early and it took a toll on my body. Well, I am currently searching to get a tummy tuck done and an augmentation. I currently wear 38B and am concidering 600cc. I am 5'5" and weigh 165 lbs. Will that be too big for me?

600 cc too big for 5' 5" & 165 lbs.
No, not at all if you want to be that size. I just placed 2250 cc implants in a lady who is 4'11" and she wants to come back to add more saline as soon as the tissues relax. She came from out of state for this procedure. You probably have excess skin on your breasts from nursing 3 choldren and if it isn't filled up, you will need a breast lift also. Filling up the loose skin will save you the cost of a breast lift. Lawrence Foster, MD, FACS, FICS

Are 600cc to big?
Difficult to answer, 600cc implants are large and can put a strain on a woman's body, but if your measurements allow for that size of an implant and it is safe for you to have surgery and that is the size you desire and you are aware of the risks, the decision is between you and your surgeon, good luck!

Implant size
No one can comment on implant size accurately without a consultation. However, 600 cc iimplants are quite large and, as you mentioned a toll, then you may need a lift and adding implant volume will create more problems rather than solve the ones you already have. Best of luck.

600cc implants may be a problem
As stated below, nothing will replace an actual consultation with a surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. However, having performed over 4,000 implants, I can impart some words of wisdom. First, 600cc is a large implant for your frame. Second, your risks of losing nipple sensation, capsular contracture, stretch marks, and wrinkling of the implant (whether it's silicone or saline) all increase as the size of the implant increases...

Are 600cc implants too big for me?
Breast implants should be carefully chosen with your board certified plastic surgeon. It is importat that the implant "fits" well in your body. An experienced surgeon will take your chest and breast width into account when making this determination. There are four different profiles available for a 600cc implant. Also remember that a cup size is between 175-200cc. I like to use the Vectra 3D imaging system to allow my patients to visualize their results before having the procedure.

Are 600 cc implants too large for me?
As an absolute number 600 cc implants are quite large, and not commonly used. You mention that you have had 3 children which took a toll on your body. You may also be in need of a breast lift, whcih would probably disallow usage of such large implnats in one operation. But you do need to be examnied by a Board Certified plastic surgeon in order to properly determine the best breast procedure(s) as well as the most appropriated size to be used. Ulimately what's most important is to obtail...

600cc implants
600cc is a rather large implant. Whether it would work well for you depends on your body shape, breast shape and goals. I advise patients not to focus on the cup size or implant size but rather the "look" that you are trying to achieve. With that in mind, bring photos of your goals to your surgeon. Discuss them at your consultation and then you can be better advised. Good luck.

Are 600cc Breast Implants "Too Big"?
The best looking augmented breasts with longest lasting perkiness are achieved when the breast implants are SPECIFICALLY chosen for EACH particular woman. Instead of picking a vague implant volume (600, 700 or 800cc) or even less accurate, a bra cup size (C, full C, DD etc), in the hope it would somehow be THE ideal breast implant is simplistic and naive.
Breast Implant choice is best limited to implants which can be naturally housed / covered by your present breast tissue. Coverage by...

Breast implant sizing
Dear Ms. Maldonado,
Difficult to answer your question without at least a picture. An examination by a plastic surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery is your best option. Having said that, you may be a candidate for a TABA (Trans Abdominal Breast Augmentation) where the implant is placed through your Tummy Tuck incision. Best of luck.

Breast implant size
I agree with other docs that pictures and measurements are needed. While I do not tell a woman what size implants to pick I try to remind them not to overload their body and that the weight of large implants and gravity over time can end up with a poor long term result. I hope that helps and please see a board certified plastic surgeon.

Picking the right size implant.
No one on this forum can answer this question truly, without examining you. Photographs would be helpful as well. As you embark upon taking the size I strongly encourage you to look at these implants in your doctor's office and put them inside a bra to see how they feel, and how they balance with your frame.
On some patients a 600 CC implant would be huge. Other patients it might be appropriate depending upon their height, their shoulders, and their hips.
Good...

Is 600 cc Too Big ?
Without a picture and an exam to measure your dimensions, it's really too difficult to answer. It's important to know that as you place larger implants, the higher the reoperative rate will go. Seek out an experienced board-certified plastic surgeon to help guide you during your decision process.
Best Wishes,

600 cc implants
600 cc implants are pretty large. Will they look right for you? Hard to say without an exam and proper evaluation.

How Big Is Too Big
Since we have no pictures to go by and don't know what your tissue characteristics are like, no one can give you an informed opinion. Since you seem interested in a large implant, I hope at least that you choose silicone gel as they are much more forgiving on breast tissue compared to saline. Good luck!!!

600cc
Assuming that your size is indeed 38B, a 600cc implant will increase your breasts by 3 sizes. That means that you will end up being a 38DD. Obviously , it is a very personal issue. You will have to decide if you are comfortable with such large size. I recommend to my patients to be full C or small D. In that case a 400cc imolant will be appropriate. Good luck.

Best Breast Implant Size for Me?
Thank you for the question.
In order to give you accurate advice, much more information is needed. Most importantly, physical examination and precise measurements will be necessary; a full discussion and communication regarding your desired goals will also be critical in determining which operation and/or breast implant size/type/profile will most likely help achieve your goals.
In my practice, the use of photographs of “goal” pictures (and breasts that are...

600 cc breast implants are too big for almost every woman.
Hi.
1) We never use more than 500 cc's for breast augmentation. Very large implants have more risks, stretch out your tissues, and age very badly.
2) Also, with the history and description that you give, make sure that you don't need a breast lift. Good luck!

Picking the right implant size for you
This is the most common question from women considering breast augmentation. I help my patients select the correct size with two methods:
1. Dimensional planning and
2. A 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...
