Based on my Stats, Are my Hopes Realistic? (photo)

So, I recently asked a question about my goals based on my stats. they are 5 11' 150 pounds 36 bra/ribcage. I'm currently a small C or large B with mid 300 salines (350-375). I'm switching to silicone and wondering if 650 would give me a desired result, or 700? or if I'm even being realistic. I've had my current set of implants for 5 years now if that is useful information. I got some great feedback previously but I thought pictures of my current chest and my goal chest would help. Thanks!

Large Implants Are Not Without Risk

Thank you very much for your question and for sharing your photos. Your expectations regarding size are likely realistic given your height weight and body shape evident on the photograph. Another important piece of data is your base diameter. If you exceed your base diameter and skin envelope excessively, you run the risk of an increased chance of wrinkling, palpability and implant malposition in the long run. Things should do well in the short term, but you must keep... more

Realistic Expectations From Revision Breast Augmentation

Hello. Thank you for sharing your photo. As a rule of thumb, very 200cc will account for a single cup size. However, the trick is within your natural breast base and the rest of your anatomical features that will contribute to how the final results will be perceived. So without a physical consolation, it is not possible to provide you with a definitive advise about whether a 650-700cc would best fit your goals. That being said, please remember that commendable results... more

Replacement of saline implants with larger silicone gel implants

It would help to see a picture. Much depends on your natural breast structure. If the implant base is too large relative to the natural base width of the breast, the result tends to look artificial. High profile implants have smaller bases, but tend to thrust out the upper pole of the breast. This is particularly true if you don't have much of your natural breast structure to camouflage the implant. If you are going to go to this size ask your surgeon to show... more

Changing Breast Implants To Go From B Cup To A DD Cup.

Based on an indwelling volume of 375cc and changing to 600cc breast implants is a volume increase of 60% only. While what the breast size of a DD cup looks like is open to different interpretations, I can say with certainty that a 60% change from a B/C cup will leave you disappointed. You will probably end up more like a C/D cup. If you do not double the breast implant volume you have, you will fall short. Such numbers seem enormous but you must put it in perspective the size... more

Breast implant should fit breast width

Thank you for your question. Generally, patients will get the best result with an implant that is as wide as your existing breast width or slightly narrower. So the correct "size" implant depends on this. Within a given width range, there are various implant volumes. It is hard to say what cup you will be. I ask my patients to focus on proportions and we select an implant that is the correct size and proportion for their body. Keep in mind several things... more

Hopes Realistic For Revisionary Breast Augmentation?

Thank you for the question. As you can imagine, it is not possible to give you precise advice without direct examination and a full communication of your goals. Based on your body type, careful communication of your goals will be very important; I would suggest that you do not base this communication ( or your satisfaction with the results of surgery) on a specific cup size. Goal pictures and an emphasis on achieving a “proportionate” (given your height and weight) result... more

Are my Hopes Realistic?

This question will have to await your consultation. A photo would help some. Many surgeons quote a one cup increase in size for each 200-225 cc of implant. Based on that you should expect a one cup increase with the 600 cc implants, but that would presumably not get you to a DD. Be aware that there are no fixed definitions of cup sizes. Thanks for your question. Consider uploading photos for a more useful set of answers. Best wishes.

Silicone imnplants redo

The answer is toi take out the ones there now,remove the capsule and just see what your pocket will accomidate.You want to be big and your chest pocket may not hold a 650 or 700 cc implant.

Breast implants

Too big, too big, too big! Implants that large will make you appear heavy and I would advise against it.

Happiness after exchanging breast implants

First you must determine what you want to look like. The photo of the model represents a very thin person with a narrow chest and large implants with lots of cleavage. Her chest size is probably 32 and not 36. Still you could go up substantially and probably be more satisfied than your present implants of 350 cc or so. Try not to get caught up in cup sizes except to get an approximation of what you want so you can relate it to your plastic surgeon. Cup sizes cannot be guaranteed, but it... more
