500cc Breast Implants to Achieve D Cup?

Hello, I am 5'9" tall and weighing 137 lbs. My chest is narrow and I am barely a 34B. I had my consultation yesterday and the doctor suggested 500cc to make me a D. I have been doing some research and I think this may be too large. Any comments? I want to be a Large C to a Small D in cup size.

500cc Breast implants D cup - or BUST

Dear Mossyoak, A 500 cc implant may not be big in Texas, but it is quite large everywhere else. In the absence of a physical examination, it would be presumptous on my part to second guess your surgeon. In choosing an implant, I follow the teaching of MY favorite great Texan - Dr. Tebbets of Dallas, who pounded several considerations into many of us. 1. Bigger is not always better.

500 cc is a lot and may leave you quite large. My average implant that I use is between 250-400 cc's for most patients.

Breast Implant Size

Although you are tall and thin, you're frame (actually your breast width) and skin elasticity may limit the size of implant you may desire with the least risk. In 30 years of doing breast surgery I have yet to find the need to use a 500cc implant except in rare cases of tissue expansion to reconstruct a breast, but even the final permanent implant was much smaller. You should be close to your desired size and proportions with 350-400cc, but discuss with your surgeon (or get a second... more

Too large.

Hi! 500 cc breast implants are too large on almost any body, and they age very poorly. Your expectations seem very realistic, and you need implants between 300 cc's and 400 cc's. In Manhattan, we use disposable implant sizers in the operating room to make the final decision. That way there is no guess work.

hi!I saw your comment what you're planning to do. I just had yesterday a surgery for 500cc silicone implants, and I'm exactly almost like your weight 138 and 5'10 tall, and wanna tell you that I was so afraid to do 500cc but doctor sugested me and I can tell you openhearted that I' m look too small, only C, but I wanted to be full D. So after many reviews I hope that after 3 months I' ll be much bigger( some girls wrote). So let me know what size you done or going to do? just interesting....
