I am 5'8, 150 pounds, curvy through hips/butt. I had a full anchor lift last year and now I'm going in for stage two of having implants, my dr wanted to do it in two stages because of the degree of my sagging. I have chosen 575cc mentor mod plus silicone under the muscle and now I'm starting to panic that it will be to big.. I just want to balance my body.
Answer: Go Big or Go home........................NOT! Based on your photos, it appears as though you have a great deficiency in the upper pole of your breasts. It also looks like more than a few years have elapsed since your original "anchor" surgery. Personally, I like adding volume by way of an implant insertion when I perform my breast lifts. I feel that the eventual result gives a fuller more pleasing contour to the breast. That being said, throughout my 29 years of private practice, I have performed many breasts lifts without an implant insertion at the time. It seems to me that a 575cc implant is on the larger side. Remember that everything that goes up eventaully must come down and the bigger the implant the stronger the supporting tissues must be in order to keep it in place. Your breasts contain stretch marks and therefore I would caution you against placing too big of an implant.Although sizers can give a patient a fair-good representation of what they might look like post-op, it is simply that.... a representation. Without having the benefit of examining you and evaluating skin and soft tissue, texture, elasticity and taking measurements,it's very difficult to come up with a concrete answer as to what size will best suit you. I wish you the best.

Answer: 575 cc breast implants should make you concerned Thank you for your important question and photographs.You are correct to be concerned. 575cc breast implants are huge and will stretch in distort your lifted breasts and cause them to sag again.I seriously question looking at your current post a breast lift photograph whether sub-muscular augmentation is possible without pushing your nipple down and creating a snoopy deformity.Studies have shown that larger breast implants that you are considering can increase the risk of capsular contraction and other complications.I would consider textured breast implants the larger than 350 cc based on your photographs.

Answer: 575cc is a large implant Dear Suzi,575cc breast implants are large. You can definitely count on a DD cup breast at least with that size implant. If that is your goal, then proceed. There are sizing systems that use "dummy" implants that can give you an idea of what a 575cc implant would do for you. Or, a more simple baggy test with rice can sometimes suffice. Good luck!

Answer: I am 5'8, 150 lbs, do you think 575cc implants will be to big for me? It depends upon "what" you are looking to achieve. Not what I think works for you.... My guess is you desire a very full breasts so a 500 to 600 cc implant will provide that appearance.///

Answer: Breast implant size In my own practice we keep silicone gel implants of all sizes available for patients to try on in a testing bra. This is not a perfect teaching tool because under the muscle implants tend to lose some projection, but because my patients look it actual implants on their frame I find it the most helpful. I encourage my patients to bring a friend or friends for a second or third opinion, and to bring a few different shirts. I suggest as you look at implants you think about the relationship between the width of the breast and the width of the shoulders and hips. Two wide will make you look top heavy, too narrow will make the breasts look like torpedoes. I personally like to see the outer curve the breast have balance with the curve of the hip. Once we hone in on the right diameter we then look at the projection of the breast which changes the cup size. At the correct diameter we can use a high moderate or low profile implant depending upon the patients goals. Depending upon the starting situation, and the degree of droop we adjust accordingly
