How big is too large for a breast implant

Barry E. DiBernardo, MD answers: What are the largest breast implants I should consider?

I am looking into having a breast augmentation within the next 3 months, but the only potential surgeon I've met with so far told me that he would not do the breast augmentation unless I would consider a smaller breast implant size. I was completely shocked by this. My breasts have been extremely small my entire life (AA cups) -- I have always had to wear a "training bra" and was teased about this a lot growing up. I want to get DD or larger breast implants.  Lots of women get breast implants WAY bigger than DD, so why am I being told my request is unreasonable?  How do breast augmentation surgeons decide how big is too big for different people?

Almost any size can be put into you, but it is the guidance of a Board certified plastic surgeon to recommend a size that will not only satisfy your desires, but also look right on your boady and give you a minimum of problems in the future.
