One Doctor Said I Can Go Up to 800cc Other Said I Can Only Do 400cc? Why Such a Differnce?
I want to one doctor who said he could do 800cc silcone under the muscle and the second doctor said the highest he could do will be 400cc but he will try bigger once the sizer is in. The second dr also said a lot of people who want bigger will come back in a year letter to do the surgery again. Why is it such a differnces? I am 5'5 190 very broad shoulders. First surgery.

"Cosmetic Breast Surgery is an art form"
Cosmetic breast surgery is an art form as well as a technical procedure. There are many ways to achieve a good result. The one surgeon may be firm on the 400cc volume because the diameter fits your chest wall. The other doctor may be trying to meet your cup size goal. There are pros and cons that you must understand before having large implants placed. Skin and breast tissue is permanently stretched. Fallout and malposition may be more common as well...

Best Breast Implant Size?
As you have noted, if you ask 5 plastic surgeons for their opinions, you will receive at least 7 opinions. Different plastic surgeons will give you different opinions based on their training, experience, and personal preferences. This range of opinions you will receive will potentially be confusing.
I would suggest that you do your due diligence carefully and choose your plastic surgeon wisely. Then allow him/her ( after you have communicated goals clearly with him/her) to...

Different opinions about an 800 CC implant.
Thanks for your question.
As you have seen plastic surgery is as much of an art as a science. Two different doctors may have differing opinions about the same surgery. It can be frustrating.
I think in your case the difference predominantly stems from the size of the implant. An 800 CC implant is a very generous implant. Someone who has the right size chest will fit that implant easily, but it could be a struggle in someone who is smaller. Clearly surgeon...

Differences in Size Recommendations
Surgeons will base recommendations based on the patient's objectives, physical dimensions, lifestyle, lifestage, their own experience and expertise, and their sense of aesthetics. Since different surgeons weigh these factors differently, you need to choose the surgeon first and worry about the size recommendations later. You should choose an experienced and expert board certifiied plastic surgeon who understands your objectives and passionately wants to surpass your expectations.

Breast Implant Size: Bigger is not always better! Beware the 800's
Breast implants come in multiple shapes and sizes. A breast implant should be placed under the pectoralis major muscle for the majority of cases, both for a natural breast shape and for safety in screening the breast with mammograms. Breast implant size and shape or profile, as well as what the implant is filled with is a very individual decision. It is great that you have seen two different plastic surgeons, and it is not uncommon to receive two different recommendations. I would agree that...

Implant size
There are a wide number of size options available for any patient. Restrictions are based on the individual's anatomy . What one patient feels is perfect another may feel is too small,so there is a bit of individual preference involved as well. I have found computer imaging is very effective in allowing the patient to guage what size implant they will be best suited for.

Implant sizing
The one missing component is your current bra size. Shoulders are only a part of the equation. The elasticity of your breast skin is of great importance. If you do not have enough breast tissue to drape over the implant, using too large an implant risks a dehiscence or open wound. Additionally, the diameter of your chest is important. An 800 cc augment is extremely large and places you at much higher risk of complications. It is important for you to clarify what you are trying to...

Implant size
It is quite easy to understand why you were asking us questions. the 2 opinions you have received her quite dramatically different. There are number different methods but plastic surgeons used to estimate what is a reasonable size implant for an individual patient. One wound with some as not to use an implant that is wider than the width of the breast. This prevents a predictable unusual postoperative appearance. I would suggest discussing with your surgeon Hal each arrived at the...
