Is 600cc Breast Implants Too Large for Me?

Hi , Thank you for your question. It is difficult to say if 600cc's is too large for you without having examined you first. 600cc's may be fitting on some people and not so much on others. I would recommend having a consultation with your plastic surgeon to determine what natural enhancement is realistic for you. Your individual factors such as current size and shape, the quality of your skin, nipple/areolar placement, and body type should be considered when determining which size is... more

The decision of what implant to chose is dependant on many factors. It depends on your tissue, your measurements and what you are trying to achieve. I never promise or guarantee a cup or bra size because there is such a discrepancy among bra manufacturers. Afer examining a patient we allow you to size with saline or silicone implants in a sports bra where you can get a basic idea of what to expect. Dr Edwards

Hi! Huge implants age badly, and they thin out and stretch the skin. And you don't need this much volume for a small D cup anyway. What we do is use a disposable implant SIZER during surgery. I put the sizer into the implant pocket, and then we try different volumes in the sizer until we find the ideal size for you (large but reasonable). Then we discard the sizer and open the permanent implants. This step takes all the guess work out, and a sizer costs only $45.

Dear Cutie, A 600cc breast implant is quite large. It sounds like you may have the body frame to support it, but keep in mind that large implants are heavy and tend to age poorly. Without the benefit of measurements, photos, and present bra size it is impossible for me to predict your cup size outcome. Good luck!

I would avoid focusing just on the ccs-- 600 ccs on one body frame will look totally different than on another. The key is to understand the range of breast sizes that would be considered reasonable, comfortable, and symmetrical with your overall frame, and then together with your surgeon pick the look that you want (ie, a very modest augmentation, more dramatic difference, etc). The volume of the implant will help determine this a bit, but more important is your body frame, your breast... more

If possible I would try on implant sizers at your Doctor's office and focus on the look you like best rather than the cup size. I think it is the best way to get the look you want. Generally speaking 200 cc equals one cup size, but this is just a guideline. Avoid going on-line and comparing other patients results with the size of implants used. It just clouds the issue.

I assume that you have been to one or more consultations with board certified plastic surgeons. I also assume that you have tried on implants and been consulted on a reasonable size range for you. Ultimately a cup size is not very helpful except in a general way. That is, if a patient comes in and says she wants a C cup that means one thing to me. If she says she wants a D cup that means quite another thing. Saying you want a D cup and choosing an implant in the 600 cc range seems... more

I would want to know what your current bra size is.  Particularly I am interested in the chest circumfrence.  This is essential information to know when trying to guess. sek

I do not know where you are starting from but by my experience with an average type of patient, this would tell me you would be a large D or bigger. For a patient of your height and weight and average breast size I would expect 500 cc's to be close to what you are looking for. All of the other advice about bra sizes and sizing yourself is important to consider. Best Wishes Dr. Peterson

Because cup size is a dimensional measurement involving the entire chest, not just the breast, there is no reliably accurate way to predict cup size from cc's. Also, the look of a D cup on one person will be different from another. So I suggest that you use the D cup as a starting point and try various samples on in a bra and just focus on what looks right. Your surgeon can then translate this into the right implant size and type.

When you consider the average implant range to be 300cc-400cc for most breast augmentation, yes, a 600cc implant is quite large. Is the implant too large? We can only answer this question by clearly understanding your current size and shape, and by having a clear picture of what you expect from your breast augmentation. The "D" cup is a relative size that very many patients will fit well. The size of the implant needed to reach a "D" cup can vary widely, though the 600cc... more

Hello Without examining you, it is difficult to render an opinion. We also don't know what size you are now. It makes a difference if you are now an A cup , a B cup , or a C cup. Adding 600ccs to each one of those would lead to a different result. Have a long discussion with your surgeon. Ask to see photos of patients who have your build and have implants around 600 ccs. Best of luck.
