Are 700cc Too Big for 5'7 185 Lbs?

I'm 5'7 and 184 getting my breast done in a couple weeks!! I'm so nervous about the size. I am about a B cup now. I'm getting a lift on my right side ( nursing left me uneven :0( ) and 700 R 720 L... I was only taking a week vacation. Do you think that is enough recovery time?

700 cc too big?

No not at all. I am doing 700 cc implants thru the belly button on a 5-2, 140 lb patient tomorrow morning. Every patient picks her own desired size. If you aren't going to get what you want, go to someone else. Experienced plastic surgeons can do anything you want, but some won't. Don't let him tell you what you should want. It's your decision.

Is 700cc to Big?

Good Question, while 700cc's is a large implant everything is relative. The taller and larger the individual the larger the implant needed to make a difference. While I am not an advocate for large implants, they have a higher incidence of long term complications, it is important to give a patient what the desire if it is safe and feasible. I would think one week should be fine, depending on your job description.

Implant size

It entirely depends on your frame, and goals. It is well known, though, that larger implants have a greater risk of long term complications such as malposition and shifting.

Picking the right implant size for you.

I help my patients select the correct size with two methods: 1. Dimensional planning and 2. A Gel Implant Sizing system Dimensional planning – The measurements of your chest wall are taken. Also, the breast dimensions including the height, width, and current dimensions of each breast form the basis of dimensional planning. Based on these measurements, the implant size is recommended. This will give you a unique breast implant that is suited for your body frame.... more

Breast Implant Sizing

Thank you for your question. I think the most important decision a patient can make (when you have decided to proceed with breast augmentation surgery) is choosing a board-certified plastic surgeon whom you trust and can communicate with. Once you develop this trust and communicate your goals clearly with your plastic surgeon the specifics of the operation (including the implant model and/or range of breast implant sizes) can be decided upon. You will find that each plastic... more
