Is 600cc breast implants too large for me?

I am going in for Breast augmentation in 2 months. I am 5'7" and 150 pounds. I am trying to figure out how many cc's would put me at a small D cup.

A: Consult your plastic surgeon.

Sam Speron, MD

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... more

A: Would need to see you

    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... more

A: 600 cc's is too large for almost anybody.

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... more

A: They like 'em big in Texas

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... more

A: Everyone is different

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... more

A: Focus on appearance

Robert M. Jensen, MD

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... more

A: It really depends on your body shape and personal preference.

Talmage J. Raine, MD

 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... more

A: Not enough infomration

Scott E. Kasden, MD

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

A: 600 cc's may be too large

Marcus L. Peterson, MD

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... more

A: No formula for cc's to cup size

Richard Baxter, MD

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... more
