Is 600cc to Big for Me? I Am Age 29, 5'5, 165lbs, 38B cup.

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.

600cc implants are too large for most patients.  The average size is closer to 325cc.  Discussed your options with a board-certified plastic surgeon to make sure you choose wisely. Good luck.

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.

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.

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.
