Tags: age 25-34, 600-649cc, A to D cup, implant size

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?

600 cc? and you want to look natural?

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 measure you and determine on objective grounds the ideal sized implant to fill your breast envelope. My bet is that it isn't more than 350cc...

Implants too large

I just saw this question so you probably already had your surgery.. I hope things went well. It's hard for anyone to say what size you will be with 600cc implants without knowing how much breast tissue you started with and your goals. Hopefully you are happy with the results. Best Wishes.

600cc is a larger than average implant

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 is not likely to be natural. Try sizers on once again prior to surgery and walk around with them for an hour or two. Make sure you like the look and are comfortable with the weight.... more

600 cc implants and a "D" cup

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.

Cup size is not every thing

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!

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

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 surgeons. Have them show you examples of women who look like you and whose results are at least 3 years out.

600 cc

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 natural and you may end up with tight thin skin and breast tissue and possibly even some sagging, but natural -- I would say no. To determine the size of implants on a patient I use a... more

Breast implant sizing helps get an idea of what to expect

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 implant that will be used as a sizer in a sports bra to give you an idea of what to expect. This is in no way a perfect predictor but it does allow you to see what change you might expect as... more

600 cc breast implants-may be too large

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 deliver a natural result in most patients. There aren't many patients who start with an A cup and can add 600 cc and get a natural result. Depending on your tissues an implant of that size... more

It depends on your proportions

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 like on your body. That's a good way to tell if you're overdoing it. Finally, we've got a 3D scanner so you can see a close representation of what various sizes of implants would look... more

600cc's is probably bigger than a D

It is not very predictable to judge an implant size and the resulting bra size. I think the best way to get the size you want is to try on implants to get the look you want and then see what bra size fits you. I you are concerned about staying with in a certain bra size then take that bra to your sizing and see what size implant fills it up. My experience tells me that 600 cc's is quite large and will probably make you larger than a D cup. An average patient in the mid 400 cc range will... more

Look at pictures

There is no 100% correct answer - 600ccs are large - but what is too large for one person can be too small for another. Ask your doctor to see before and after photos.

600 cc breast implants is big

Hello, Without knowing more about your dimensions I can't be specific, but 600 cc implants are large. I don't know how natural or how large a cup size you are going to be with them. Maybe you need to discuss this with your surgeon before surgery one more time.
