Am I Going Too Big?

I am comfortable with my surgeon but I don't want to make bad choice so doing extra research. I am 33 y/o 5'3" 165lbs. I work out often to stay fit so i dont look fat. I have had one child who is now almost 18 years old. After some weight loss, I am a size D now, not happy with shape and I want to get back to my FULL DD and get a good, full, round shape. We chose 600 cc implants and he is going to reduce my natural size slightly during procedure to get the shape I want. Will 600cc be too big? Please Help! Surgery Friday Aug. 12, 2011.

I cannot say if that is too big or not.. it depends on your body type, your current amount of breast tissue and your "desired goal". I ask patients to bring in photos of what they want to achieve (shape / size) so that I can understand what they are looking for because if you say "full DD", it's hard for us to know exactly what you are wanting.

Breast Implants and Lift

It is truly impossible to evaluate without pictures and probably a physical examination. 600 cc are large implants, especially for a woman who is 5'3" tall starting out with D cup breasts, and is physically active. It sound like you are getting a mastopexy (breast lift) with the augmentation. There is NO JUSTIFICATION in my opinion for "reducing your natural size slightly," which to me means removing breast glandular tissue, and replacing it with implant... more
