Sizing of Breast Implants

Patients should always play a central role in choosing the size of their implants. The surgeon has the obligation to inform the patient if the implant is likely to be too wide or large based upon chest wall width and other anatomical considerations. Having said that, 500 cc may be a very reasonable size implant for above average width patients. High profile implants can be chosen to reduce the base diameter width as well.

Breast implant size

Hard to tell without photos, but I think 500 cc's is probably too large for most people. Given your current build, 500 cc implants will tend to make you look heavy.

Choice of breast implant size

Nothing gives a woman more anxiety than trying to determine breast implant sizes. Trying on sizers and viewing pictures help to give you some idea about the correct volume of implant to use to achieve your goals. There are many factors to consider with a breast augmentation including the base diameter of your breast, your anatomy, your desired projection, the quality of your breast tissues and your desired result. Communication is the key to achieving a good result.... more

Implant Sizing

It is important to choose an appropriate size based on the natural width of you breast and the desired degree of fullness. To achieve a natural look, this sounds like a big implant but it is difficult to say without measurements and a photo. Your surgeon should be able to help you achieve an natural look it that is what you desire. You can also find a practice that has a Vectra system to allow you to see a 3-D photo simulation of your after photos.

Breast implant choices

I can not tell you if they are right for you or too big without an exam. You can also do a "baggy test" at home to see if you like the size.

To look natural with 500 cc sound bad, nevertheless depend on your skin elasticity, and other measure around your breast.

Depends

As commented on by other surgeons, it's hard to tell without examining you and seeing you in person. Judging from your measurements, it's not out of range for your height and weight. Just depends on how much breast tissue you have and how large you would like to go....Ive certainly placed those sizes in someone with similar measurements.

Who Chooses the Implant Size

If your surgeon, who is supposed to be the expert in augmentation, makes you choose the implant size, I think you should talk to some other surgeons. You need to let him know verbally and with photos what your goal is. You have no knowledge of what an implant behind the tissues will look like. It is his job to make that decision.
