Having a Lift and Aug in 1 Week. Will 533cc Look Ok on Me? Will It Be Safe?

We originally were going to go with 397cc silicon mod+ implants. Then i wanted to go bigger, so we upped it to 457cc silicon mod+... Now, i want to go one more size bigger (taking in that theyre going under the muscle, and i'm having a lift... i figure the'll be a little smaller than what i get). But i dont think there's much difference between 457cc and 492cc. Would 533cc mod+ look ok on me with a lift? Is it safe? I'm almost 5'10" and Im 140 lbs, give or take.

Unfortunately, discussions regarding complications is frequently glossed over, expecially with regards to large implants. The main problem is that there are too many surgeons unwilling to say NO to... more

Implants and a lift

Without an exam it is difficult for me to tell you whether one implant will look better than another. You shoudl discuss this with your surgeon. Remember the lareger you go, the more likely early problem can develop.

Breast Implant Size for Breast Augmentation/Lifting?

Thank you for the question. Unfortunately, online consultation will not be able to help you determine the appropriate size implants for your situation and goals. In my practice, our routine is as follows: 1. Clear communication with the patient regarding her goals. I prefer the use of goal pictures to communicate. Discussing cup size and or use of words such as “natural” can be misleading and a source of confusion. 2. Intraoperatively,... more
