600cc Breast implants to achieve D cup too large?

I am going in for my breast implants in a week, and I'm having second thoughts about the size. I am 25 years old, I have one child, and I don't have any sagging or stretch marks on my breasts. I am currently an A cup and I would like to be a full natural D cup. My surgeon and I decided on 600cc cohesive gel implants. I'm wondering if they will end up looking too big. Is 600cc too big? If not, how big will my breast end up being?

A: 600cc is a larger than average implant

Otto Joseph Placik, MD

A 600 cc implant is larger than average.  Some of the data in the breast implant brochure mandated by the FDA for reading prior to breast augmentation suggests that the risk of complications is higher in individuals with implants exceeding 350cc. That having been said, 600cc may achieve your goals but it... more

A: 600 cc implants and a "D" cup

Steven Wallach, MD

It is hard to predict specific cup size with only the volume of an implant.  The best way to size up your chest is based upon your base diameter and desired projection.  600 cc implants are very large.

A: Cup size is not every thing

Hisham Seify, MD, PhD

It sounds like a huge implant but other factors are important to consider including chest,breast diameters etc...Do not focus on the cup size but what would make you look good, even if this would be a C! more

A: Natural it won't be, but 600 cc may be the right size.

Francisco Canales, MD

Hello The size of the implant has to be put into the context of your chest width and how tall you are.  I have seen patients who are 6 feet tall, where 600 cc is only a 38 C cup.  I have also seen patients where it is a 34 DD cup. I would discuss options with at least  two board-certified... more

Your own words - "full, natural D cup" may be contradictory in the sense that  using a 600cc implant may get you to a D cup, but it is likely to not look natural.  Of course if you are very tall and with a wider chest frame, then this may be an exception, but going from an A cup to a D and... more

A: 600 cc? and you want to look natural?

Steven Teitelbaum, MD

I've never once seen 600cc implants look natural...at least in my opinion of what natural is. I've also never seen an A cup patient wth 600 cc implants whose tissue wasn't damaged from the weight and pressure over time. If you want to be natural, forget about the cup size.  Go to  a surgeo who can... more

A: 600 cc

Steven H. Schuster, MD

Dear Lexx I can't tell you whether 600 cc will make you a D, but there are some things I probably can tell you. If you have had one child and no sagging or stretch marks you are probably extremely lucky and with good genes. I can also probably tell you that going from an A to a D you probably will NOT look... more

A: Breast implant sizing helps get an idea of what to expect

Michael C. Edwards, MD

There are many variables to consider in determining an implant size. At you exam your plastic surgeon takes measurements to determine dimensions of implants that would suit as well as evaluating your breast tissue to see if you can accommodate the implant size chosen. I have all of my patients take an... more

A: 600 cc breast implants-may be too large

John E. Gross, MD

 If you are having questions regarding the implant size choice please contact your surgeon and have a visit prior to surgery. Without the benefit of knowing your measurements and breast tissue characteristics  I can't say for sure-BUT- 600 cc implants are large and are on the very edge of what would... more

A: It depends on your proportions

David L. Kaufman, MD

I certainly agree with the comments above. 600cc implants are generally considered large, but cup size is proportional to bra size. If you're a 40 bra band size, 600 cc may be right for you. If you're a 32, 600cc will be larger than a D. In your surgeon's office, try on a set of sizers and see what 600cc looks... more
