600CC Silicone Implants Look Small on Me

My first Ba I had 340cc overs mod profile and was unhappy as they looked too small. I had my 2nd ba 3 months ago and went for 600cc HP silicone under the muscle.

I was really gutted to find I still haven't got the desired projection I was after. My surgeon said it's because I have a high rib cage which is why my implants dont project much. Should I consider a ultra high profile saline implant or just accept the fact boobs don't look big on me??? Please help!!! Thanks

Breast implant size?

Much of the final “look” achieved after breast augmentation surgery depends on several factors: 1. The initial shape, size (volume of breast tissue), symmetry of the patient's breasts. In general, the better the preoperative breast appearance the more likely the breast augmentation “look” will be optimal. 2. The experience/skill level of the surgeon is important in determining the final outcome. For example, the accurate and gentle dissection of... more

Implants look small

Hi, It would be nice to know your height and weight, current bra size and the one you wished to obtain, and to have your pictures. 600 cc silicone implants are already fairly in the " large range " and if you think this is looking small, there are sizes up to 800 cc. But I would tell you as I tell all my female patients, bigger does not mean better, but more problems. it may mean an additional surgery of course, added weight to carry on your chest which may give... more

Projection of a breast implant

I think if projection is what you are going after, that an implant placed under the muscle will limit that result due to the muscle flattening out the implant to some degree. If you are willing to give up the lower capsular contracture rate of going under the muscle in order to achieve cleavage, you might need to shift the implants to above the muscle.

Size of implants

The choice of implants in Europe are greater than what is offered in the United States. It is hard to imagine that regardless on the projection and the type of implant that your surgeon used, a 600 mL implant should have more than adequate projection. It sounds like your expectations need to be addressed by your surgeon and to really see if they are realistic and obtainable.

Breast appearance after larger implants

The appearance following breast augmentation is not entirely predictable. Some patients get the half grapefruit look and others more sloping or "natural" in appearance. The look will depend on many factors, not only the size and shape of the implants. High profile implants will provide the most projection. "ultra high profile" implants are not available in the USA. Without examining you, it is hard to say what may be possible to help you achieve your desired look. more

Ultra high profile implants

It is difficult to say what would be best for your without an exam.. In the US we do not have ultra high profile implants avaialble. I usually get nice results with the high profiles.

Sizing an implant to achieve a desired shape and projection can be a challange

Sizing an implant to achieve a desired shape and projection can be a challenge. The final projection and shape achieved depends on the following: 1) the underlying chest wall supporting the implant. A flat foundation will allow the implant to fully express its projection whereas a tilt to the chest wall will result in loss of or uneven projection to one side. 2) from the underlyiing shape of the implant. The actual measured dimensions of your implant to... more

Implants look too small

There are several issues which impact on the projection of breast implants. One is the actual profile, High profile project more than Moderate plus.(600cc HP Gel project 5.6cm and 630cc HP saline prejuect 5.9 but can be over inflate to 750 at which time they project 7.4cm). The second issue is your rib cage. Some people have a flat rib cage who will then get the full projection of their implants. If alternatively your rib cage falls off to the side, you will lose... more
