i am 5'9" weigh 135ibs, i had a breast augmentation 1 year ago and am not pleased with how they turned out. i wanted them to be round and high but instead they are teardrop shaped. my implant is 350cc moderate+ filled to 400. i'm wanting to get a reaug and am considering doing 600cc high profile implants. would i have any problems or complications going to that size of implant?
Answer: Risks of a larger sized breast implant
Yes, this is a larger than average breast implant.
There are numerous increased risks associated with this, and I am sure I will not even touch on half of them, but consider the following.
The size of the implant has been associated with:
1.Increased risk of loss of nipple sensation
2.Increased risk for long term breast ptosis (sagging)
3.Increased risk for chest wall deformation (curving of the ribs)
4.Increased risk of rippling or palpable /visible creases
5.Increased risk of lower pole tissue attenuation (thinning of the tissues of the breast)
6.Increased risk of secondary revisionary procedures
These are a few of the risks off the top of my head. Please discuss with your surgeon.
Most importantly, remember that although you are seeking breast enlargement, many women present complaining of breast overgrowth desiring breast reduction. These women report limited physical activity, neck/back/shoulder pain, shoulder grooving from bra straps, numbness in the fingers, rashes beneath the breasts, etc.
Many of these women feel significant relief with reductions as small as 300 cc yet you are considering adding twice that to your breasts. Think it over carefully.
I hope this helps.

Answer: Bigger is not Better
Larger implants over time can cause tissue stretching and thinning. This occurs over time. It is very difficult to keep the implants high and round for a lifetime.

Answer: 600cc High Profile Cause Problems
Same complications as with any exchange of implants + difficulty in closure must be addressed. You posted no photos so all our responses are purely guesses.

Answer: 600 cc implants
First, before going to a larger implant like this one, a proper exam is in order to see the chest wall dimensions and to assess your soft tissue coverage.

Answer: 600 cc High Profile Breast Implant
It is not uncommon to place 600cc or larger breast implants. This is especially true in cities like Las Vegas. You definitely need to consider your breast dimensions and tissue characteristics. Irreversible tissue thinning can happen with any breast implant size, but tends to be more common the bigger your go. I have several patients with 800 cc gel implants who have outstanding results and do not have isues with thining skin. It is best to consult with your board certified plastic surgeon.
