Possible to get larger breast implants without fake look?

I was a 34A (if not less) before my Breast Augmentation 2 years ago. I got 320CC cohesive gel implants that brought me to a 34C (not full). I now wish I could have gone larger! I want to be a 34D (full). I am now considering the same implant with 550 CCs. Is that too big for me? I do not want the fake look, just a larger size of what I am now. I look very, very natural now and would not like to destroy that. Is it possible to go larger without obtaining a fake look? I am 5'4 and 135 lbs.

A: Larger implants without fake look

From your description about your height and weight, it may be possible for you to go to a 550cc gel implant and still have a natural look.  But you definately need to be evaluated by your doctor to be certain, because many factors will determine how natural you can look with a larger size implant. ... more

A: breast implant size

William  Bruno, MD

The final outcome of your breast augmentation surgery depends heavily upon the shape of your breasts to begin with. Meaning, if you have a nice, natural shape before surgery, you will end up with a natural result after surgery.  However, if you go too large with your implant selection, this can ultimately... more

A: Going Larger

Farbod Esmailian, MD

Anytime you go larger for your frame you are going to look fake.  Now I dont know how tall you are and how much you weigh, but given your bra size 34A I would say you are on the narrow side. 550 cc is a big implant and it really depends on how much room you body has and how wide your breast are on your... more

A: Large breast implants can cause an unnatural look

Peter E. Johnson, MD

Augmentation can draw a fine line between what is a natural enhancement of the breast size and shape, and the point a which the implant takes over, and dominates the shape look and feel. What look 'real' and 'fake' is a subjective impression and many patients who look or feel implanty can indeed consider their... more

A: Natural Breast can be created with implants and communication between surgeon and patient is key

Christine A. Petti, MD

It is definitely possible to have a very natural look after breast augmentation.  It is vital that the surgeon and patient communicate the expected outcome that the patient "visualizes", so this can be discussed in terms of a realistic result.  I always tell patients that I need to know... more

Hi Queenbm - If you go up another 200cc and considering your height and size, you may get the fake look.  However, after 2 years you may have stretched out your skin enough that 550cc may not be so large for you.  It's difficult to determine without seeing you, but take some 200cc implant samples,... more

A: Be careful what you ask for.....

Otto Joseph Placik, MD

Given your good fortuneand otustanding result. I would encourage you to leave the breast implants alone. IF you are going larger, you must consider anatomic factors as well as the long term consequences of your decision as well as the effects of tissue stretching, chest wall alterations, pregnancy and... more

 I agree that you should focus on the look and not the actual size of the implants.  A 400 cc implants looks much different in a small-framed person than a larger-framed person.  If you look natural now, then going larger increases  your chances of the "fake look." to the breast... more

A: breast implant size to fit your body

Barry E. DiBernardo, MD

Your chest has a certain width. If implants are at or near that same size they usually fit your body well. If they are much larger.. They can start looking unnatural

A: Focus on the look, not the size

John P. Stratis, MD

Always consider the look you want to achieve, not the cup size or the implant size. If you like the way you look now I would not recommend going up to 550. The larger you go with the implant the more the final result looks like an implant and not a breast.  It has been my experience however, that almost... more
