I am a mother of 3 little girls ages 8,7,and 5 years old. I am definetly wanting to get a Breast Aug. I went in for my consult and her are the results: I am 5'10 180 lbs 34A B (on a good day) I want to get to a size DD with a round look. My Dr. suggested that I get a Saline implant M+ 600-700ccs. Is this normal? I hear the number and I kinda cringe..there are a ton of articles about 400cc and not too many on this size. Any suggestions?

This is a larger than average breast implant

Yes, this is a larger than average breast implant. There are numerous increased risks associated with this, and I am sure I will not even touch on half of them, but consider the following. The size of the implant has been associated with: 1.Increased risk of loss of nipple sensation 2.Increased risk for long term breast ptosis (sagging) 3.Increased risk for chest wall deformation (curving of the ribs) 4.Increased risk of rippling or palpable /visible creases 5... more

Picking a breast implant size

Without photos or an examination, it is hard to say what would be right for you. Everyone's body anatomy is different and a 125 cc implant in you will look very different in someone else. For this reason, it's best to consult with several surgeons and make a decision that both you and your surgeon are comfortable with.

Height and Weight VERY Important in Implant Size

While it may sound enormous, 600-700cc in someone who is 5'10 and 180lbs is not going to be huge. Your height and weight play a huge role in how much volume you can carry and look proportional. Someone who is 5'2 and weighs 110lbs may be a DD with a 400cc implant. That size on you, though, would probably look like a C because of your frame size. You may need a second opinion, but at your height/weight, I wouldn't be surprised. I hope this helps. ... more

Reviewing implant size is so important with patients. I spend alot of time in consultation reviewing this. As for your specific sizxe, it is difficult to say without examining you.
