Hello I'm 30yrs old, I stand 5'6" and I weigh 150lbs, my current bust size is 34B. I desire a full D. Went to a consultation Dr told me I have thick breast tissue and any type of implant will look great on me. We started at 425cc mod plus but I wanted to go bigger, Dr said if I go bigger I would have to go to high profile because a bigger mod plus would be too wide for my chest. I tried 475cc & 500cc and I still want bigger. I dnt kno what to do at this point cus I dnt wanna go too too big.
Answer: Implant size - how big is too big? Your breast measurements would be helpful, specifically the width of your breast. The implant should be slightly more narrow than your breast. If the implant is too large, it will fall outside of your natural breast tissue and potentially look more fake and feel far out to the sides. The moderate plus 500ml implant is around 14cm wide. The high profile is around 13cm, and the ultra high (sometimes called full) is around 12cm. The narrower the style of the implant, the more it sticks out from the chest. If your breast skin is not relaxed enough to accommodate the larger implant, you could be at risk for stretch marks, sensation changes, and accelerated breast sag. You can avoid complications by working with your surgeon to pick a safe size that will still give you the larger breast you want.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Cup Size Following Implants - Get The Facts Here The question of breast implant size is always difficult for prospective breast augmentation patients. For this reason, multiple approaches are utilized to make this determination pre-operatively. These include reviewing magazine photographs, external sizers and recently the 3D Vectra computer imager to name a few. Even when tremendous care is taken pre-operatively to determine breast size, the final decision needs to be made in the operating room by the surgeon. At this point, an assessment can be made regarding how the patient’s breast tissue interacts with the breast implant. Occasionally, obtaining a specific size does not allow the surgeon to meet the patients other aesthetic goals. For this reason, locking into a specific size isn’t always a good idea. Results are often better when a surgeon has the ability to make adjustments in the operating room. It’s also important to realize that for many patients, a 50cc difference is less than four tablespoons which is spread out in three dimensions over the implant. In your case, I think it’s important to thoroughly discuss your aesthetic goals with your surgeon. Make sure he has the latitude to do what’s best for you in the operating room so he can meet your aesthetic goals. It’s important that you have an approximate idea of the breast implant size that you are considering, but don’t become married to an absolute number.

Answer: Larger high profile breast implants
You should trust your plastic surgeon. It is easy to get excited about surgery and desire implants that are very large, but this may create more problems for you in the future.

Answer: Choosing implants
Hello. The most important factors for determining the size of implants that could be used on a patient include width of the base of the breast, the size of your thorax and the amount of breast tissue and skin you have. Once a surgeon has this information he could better educate you on what type of implants would work best for you.

Answer: 500 - 550 High Profile Silicone Implants
Thank you for your question. Without a photo, your current breast dimensions and skin quality it is difficult to tell if these implants would be too big for you. I try to have patients focus on "the look" they want rather than cup sizes because cup sizes vary from one manufacture to the next. Remember that going with larger implants leads to higher reoperative rates and potential for stretch marks and stretching of the skin faster over time. It sounds like your surgeon understands a dimensional approach so as to fit implants with your frame.
Always consult with a board certified plastic surgeon experienced in breast augmentation.
Best wishes,
Brian Joseph MD FACS
