I'm 5'2" and had breast implants. I asked for 600cc and they put 750cc. I am not happy, as my breasts are massive and out of shape. It has only been 3days. Would they go down to a smaller size? What cup size is 750cc? Isn't it wrong for the doctor disrespect my decision? What should I do now?

Communication is the key to success when it comes to implant size selection

On anyone except a large women with a wide chest a 750 cc implant would be huge. On a women with a small frame, 5'2" this implant would be quite large. The decision on which size implant to use comes only after an indepth consultaiton with a plastic surgeon. Communication is the absolute key to success. In my opinion, most women desire a natural appearance following a breast augmentation. Many calculations can be performed to help estimate the size of implant to be ultimately... more

Joint decision

Cup size does not relate directly to implant size and is only, at best, an estimation. 600 ccs and certainly 750ccs sound quite large for a patient of your stature, but any decision should be a joint decision based on your normal anatomy and your desires, coupled with risk factors and discussions with your surgeon relating to side effects and long-term complications. Rarely, if ever, should a patient dictate an implant based on pure volume since there are many different implants giving... more

Breast implant sizing

It is very important to communicate your size goals with your surgeon. In my practice, the use of photographs of “goal” pictures (and breasts that are too big or too small) is very helpful. I have found that the use of words such as “natural” or “C cup” or "fake looking" means different things to different people and therefore prove unhelpful. Also, as you know, cup size varies depending on who makes the bra; therefore, discussing desired... more

Size is a personal decision with in put from your surgeon

For your size and weight, both 600cc and 750cc implants sound very large. Shape is my responsibility / I need your help for Size In my practice we feel that a critical component of the consultation process is the examination, followed by working with you through looking at before and after pictures of other patients that have had surgery for comparison. I tell patients that it is my responsibility to explain what shape I would anticipate for them and I show them before and after... more

Implant size

You will have to talk to your doctor regarding the implant size. I do not know why your doctor put in a larger implant than what you had discussed. As for cup size it is difficult to predict because all bra companies are different.

Take time on breast implant sizing discussions

Hello, Both those sizes are pretty huge on a 5' 2" woman. Discussions at pre-op and consultation are handled differently by different practices. I likely would have told you I thought you were going too large. Of course there is no way to know what you might have done with that information. At this point you should have a "sit down" with your surgeon and come to a mutual deciusion about what to do.
