Ridiculously large
I don't need a picture to say that a 750CC implant is ridiculously large given your dimensions. Unless you are looking to enter a new profession, I suggest you get a 2nd opinion. As a mother of 3 children you deserve a great result. Best of Luck!

B to a D How Much Volume
In the largest women, 250 cc may be one cup size. 500 cc may be appropriate but 800 cc would be at least 3 cup sizes if not 4.

Extremely Large Implants
800cc implants are extremely large, about as large as are even made. I would not recommend this size. They will look quite large and disproportionate. Also, I always advise my patients with implants of this size that the sagging risk is extremely high. Patients would rather have large perky breasts than extremely large sagging breasts.

Implant size
Yikes! I'm scared, too. Implants that size are absolutely humongoid and I strongly advise against it. A reasonable implant size is 350 to 400 for most women. If you do not need a lift currently and go with 800 cc implants, you WILL need a lift because the implants will drag your breasts down to your knees. I am not kidding, 800 cc's is absolutely ridiculous!

Big implants for an athletic lady...
Wow - those are big - about the biggest ones we can use!
The average size we use is about half of that volume. If your skin is really loose and droopy, I would recommend picking out the size you really want and getting a breast lift - if that is needed, rather than getting a really large implant in an attempt to "fill up" loose skin. Typically, that fill up effect doesn't last long before the skin stretches out again.

Athletic and busty?
Thanks for sharing your story. It sounds like you are very athletic and a very large breast cup might not be the best thing for your lifestyle. Consider getting a few more consults and then decide - good luck, Dr. Aldo Guerra.

800 cc implants are huge! and heavy
From your description of your body size and shape implants in the 775 to 800 cc range seem to be very large and definitely at the high end of the spectrum. An 800 cc implant weighs almost 2 pounds. Can you imaging what your breasts will look like in 2 years if your skin and soft tissue can not support such a large implant? In general you can expect the breasts to increase a cup size for everfy 175 to 250 cc of implant volume. From your measurements it would seem that...

Hello
Without seeing you and seeing your body it is very hard to give you adequate advice. What we tell our patients is that 200-225cc equal to one cup size. If you’re starting with a B cup and all you want is a D cup you need to be in the 450-500 range. Breast size has everything to do with your body proportion.
If you’re not satisfied with the size your doctor is recommending you need to get a second opinion.

800 cc implants
Hello,
Your post is concerning to read, and I think that you should see a few other surgeons. "breast fed 3 children 34b saggy but no lift needed" is possible but unlikely. Placing a large implant only in a woman who should also be getting a breast lift never leads to a pretty result. Your athletic lifestyle/job would not work well with 800 cc implants. The likelihood that you fall victim to a complication requiring reoperation within 3 years would meet or...

Large implant size
My opinion is that it is a terrible idea to have implants as large as have been recommended unless you make your living with them. You will have nothing but problems in the future. Go see someone else.

Breast Implants - Bigger is Better?
775-800 cc breast implants are twice the size of the average breast implant used for cosmetic breast augmentation. I would be concerned about using this size implant in any woman who maintains a high level of physical activity. If the goal is to avoid a breast lift by using an oversized implant, you would be better served having a breast lift with a breast implant that fits your frame.
More information is needed to truly answer your question. Get a second opinion before proceeding, the...

Large Breast Implants
Having large breast implants is not necessarily in itself a bad idea. However, with the proportions that you have and what you desire, the size seems like it is excessively large. Such a large size will not only give you a heavy set appearance, but it will also certainly affect your ability to perform your normal exercise routine. If the large size is recommended to avoid a lift, then perhaps a lift and augmentation may be a better answer that going to such a large size. Dr. B.

Scared by large implant size recommended to her
I think you are correct to be concerned. In my 27 years of practice I have placed implants larger than 600cc in a cosmetic breast augmentation maybe once. 775-800cc implants are extremely large and they would pose a greater risk of tissue stretching and thinning over time. Unless you have a very wide breast and wide chest wall for your height, I would worry about implants that are 14.5 cm in width. I would suggest you see another plastic surgeon for a second opinion....

“Scared” about Plastic Surgeon's Recommendations?
Thank you for the question.
As you can imagine, it is not possible for online consultants to give you precise advise, despite your good description of your situation.
It is very important for you to feel comfortable with your plastic surgeon and his/her recommendations prior to proceeding with surgery. You may be best off seeking additional consultations with board-certified plastic surgeons prior to proceeding. Ask to see lots of examples of their work and communicate your goals...
