Breast Implants for Women with Naturally Large Breasts?

Tags: breasts, stretch marks, female, C cup, D cup, DD cup

I have naturally large breasts (36C) but I am considering to get Breast Augmentation surgery. I like the look of Breast implants and especially appreciate how perky the breasts are ( I would aim for a large D or DD).

Also, I have heard that if a woman has stretch marks on her breasts and gets a larger implant, the stretch marks will be less visible. I would like some feedback on my remarks.

Also, how would the surgery be if I already have large breasts (for example, do you remove some tissue or just place the Breast Implant etc.)?

Breast implants for large breasted women

This is an oxymoron. If you are large, maybe you need a lift to get a perkier result. Implants without a lift will end up with your relatively heavy brasts falling off the end eventually and looking very matronly. What you want to achieve might not be possible for your anatomy. You should visit a few well qualified plastic surgeons and ask about the short and long term results you might possibly have.

Implamts in large breasted women

The problem with large implants is that they will age independent of the breasts which means that if placed under the muscle, the implants will remain high and the breasts will "fall off" of them creating the "Snoopy Deformity". If implants are placed over the muscle in a large breast, the appearance of stretch marks may temporarily improve by being stretched bu the breast and implant will sag together due to the combined weight and lack of support. in regards to your... more

Breast augmentation

Without an exam it is hard to say what you would need. But, if you have a fair amount of tissue, then you will have more soft tissue coverage than others with smalle breasts. As for the stretch marks they may get worse, better, or stay the same.

Great questions but without photos can not guess on your appearance. Please submit photos or see 3 boarded plastic surgeons in your area. You may need a lift also. Regards.

Large Breasts and larger implants

It really depends on what we are dealing with. As far as stretch marks go, no they do not look better, and infact if you have larger implants placed to make you a D or DD then there is a likelihood the stretch marks will look worse over time and more prominent. If you dont need a lift, the procedure involves placing saline or silicone implants to achieve the size you need, there is no removal of breast tissue. Just remember, breasts dont remain perky forever specially with large implants.... more

Breast Augmentation VS Breast Lift in naturally LARGE breasted Women

Without a visual clue as to your appearance any real assessment of your appearance is impossible and all answers should be regarded as general in nature. "I like the look of Breast implants" - A well-chosen implant and executed breast augmentation does NOT look "done". As a matter of fact, few can tell if such a person had a breast augmentation. You appear to like the artificial, round encapsulated breast look which most plastic surgeons prefer to avoid. Such results... more

Breast implants for women with naturally large breasts

Many of the questions you ask are dependent on your breast anatomy. Breast implants will allow you to increse your cup size and in many instances, reestablish upper pole fullness to you breasts. Due to the fact you are a 36C looking to go to a D or DD cup, you may require a rather large implant to achieve your goal. The problem with this is it may end up increasing your stretch marks. Depending on how much breast sagging (ptosis) you have, you may also require a lift to give you an... more

Implant in naturally large breasts

Hello, As others have echoed here, it really depends. If you go really large you might end up droopy and need a breast lift to fix it maybe really soon. How large "large" might be depends upon your tissues and your current breast shape.

Probably do not need breast lift if you are only 22

Jibanez, If you are only 22, you probably do not need a breast lift, unless you have had children already. So, your already ample C cup breasts will likely become more ample D or DD cup breasts with an augmentation. Although they might flatten somewhat, I would not count on stretch marks improving with the enlargement. Good luck!

Breast implants for the naturally large breast

Some who seek breast augmentation already have a naturally full breast, a full C or perhaps a smaller D cup size. There is nothing wrong in considering breast augmentation to increase the breast size to a very full D or a DD cup. It is true as well that the augmentation may smooth out stretch marks on the skin surface. There are some particulars to keep in mind however. Most augmentation procedures place the implant under the muscle of the chest to best hide the implant. If the breast is... more

Making large breasts larger

The first thing you need to make clear is what you want. Breast implants in a large busted woman may not make her "perky" because the breast very quickly will sag more. Perhaps what you need is a breast lift. A full evaluation is needed along with pictures as to how you wopuld like to look. The plastic surgeon should be able to explain your options and the cosequences of those options.

Breast implants in larger breasts

Without a picture or examining you, it is hard to give specific advice. However, from your description, you may benefit most from an augmentation/mastopexy (implants and breast lift). This will rejuvenate your breast and add upper pole fullness. Good luck.

It makes no sense to get breast implants if you already have large breasts.

Hi. 1) One of the most common mistakes that we see in Manhattan is a woman who ends up with an excessively large chest after breast implants. My advice is don't do it. Very large breasts stretch your tissues and age very badly. Take a look at the last issue of ALLURE magazine. 2) Perhaps you need a good breast lift.

Breast implants with naturally large breasts

These are all good questions, but unfortunately the answer to all of them is, "It depends on your anatomy." You can have implants placed, but you may need a larger size to achieve your goal of a D or DD. Larger implants do carry the risk of stretching out your tissues too much. Stretch marks are sometimes less visible once the skin is stretched out, but there's no guarantee of this, and I certainly would not recommend undergoing breast augmentation for this purpose alone.
