Is my Frame Suitable for Large Implants? (Photo)

I'm well aware there are limitations to breast augmentation and i'm a very small 34A. Im 5ft6 and currently weigh 140lb, hoping to lose a stone before my surgery though. My question is, by judging the photos do I look like I could achieve a DD cup with one operation? Obviously I do not want them to appear stuck on and extremely unnatural but I just want large breasts quick. Is this due to surgeon preference in whether they would do this?

Large breasts in a small package

I give you this advise. Find a very experienced Board Certified Plastic Surgeon with excellent skills and artistic judgement. Your breasts are towards the sides of your chest and there is a very large amount of distance between them. It is unrealistic to go from where you are now to the size of the woman in the photo. Don't even think about doing this and run from anyone who says that they can do it. It is anatomically impossible to go there. Choose as wide as implant that is possible... more

Implants

You appear to have a very tight chest wall envelope and very little natural breast. Do your breasts resemble the preperative photographs corresponding to the photographs you have listed??

Is my Frame Suitable for Large Implants?

Your questions can be best answered in the setting of an in person consultation. Some measurements would be made, and those will help your surgeon recommend a maximum size that will not look unnatural. , and will not extend excessively beyond the side of your chest wall. I am going to guess, just for an example, that your breast width is 11 cm. The widest high profile implant that stays within that parameter is about 300 cc. Extra high profile implants, which may in and of... more

Large Breast Implants For Body Frame

While you could achieve that breast size in a single operation, that does not mean they will look exactly the same way at that same size. Your initial breast anatomy is likely different than the example you have shown. Your breast skin is tight with short nipple to fold distance. Therefore your lower breast folds will need to be dropped down to accomodate larger implants...and with that comes the risks of bottoming out. This does not mean you should not try to achieve your breast size goal..... more

What is a suitable implant size for your frame?

In the age of instant messaging, we often want drastic change and immediate result. Unfortunately, we are limited by anatomy. From your pics, it looks like you have tight skin envelope, narrow breast base, and short nipple to fold distance. Given these constraints, there are limited implant sizes that a plastic surgeon could offer without distorting your anatomy ( i.e. significant lowering of the breast folds could result in dreadful bottoming out complication). Make sure... more

Larger #BreastImplants a Good Choice?

From your photos and your ideal outcome, it appears that you wont be able to achieve those goals. The distance from your nipple to fold is quite short and this would need to be lowered. Aggressive lowering can lead to "bottoming out" or other problems. Thus, you would likely need a staged approach to get this result. You can create a larger volume on your frame, but it is unlikely to be similar to your "ideal" outcome photo. You should see a board certified plastic surgeon in... more

Because of breast implant options, most sizes can be accommodated regardless of the patient's frame.

Breast implants are manufactured with different amounts of projection based on the diameter of the base. These variations can be exploited by the plastic surgeon to allow for more projection without violating the dimensions of the breast. There are limits however.

Achieving Breast Size Goals with One Operation?

Thank you for the question and pictures. It is difficult to know whether you will be able to achieve your goals with one operation. Much will depend on the quality of skin ( for example elasticity) present. My best advice to you at this point would be to meet with well experienced plastic surgeons who can demonstrate significant experience helping patients achieve the types of results you are looking for. Make sure that as you communicate your goals both you and your plastic... more

Large Breast Augmentation

I think you could get the look you are trying to achieve in one operation. You would need a large implant and there are downsides to using large implants (like increased risk of malposition and sagging over time). You do have a wide space between your breasts but that would improve with implants. I would use high profile implants on your narrow frame to get more projection outward rather than into your underarm area. Good luck!

Going to DD?

I would be careful about trying to go that big right away. Your breasts are very small and your skin looks tight. More importantly your breasts have a wide separation and the nipples are wide apart. I think if you try to force a large implant you could run into trouble with a very un-natural appearance or some other malposition problem.

A to DD in One Operation?

An A to DD is very difficult to achieve in one operation even in a wide chest wall with no real gap between the breasts and perfectly round breasts. The reason for this is that one cup size increase typically requires 200 cc to 250 cc of volume. A to DD is a four cup size increase and, at a minimum you would need 800 cc. This is the largest implant made. You can see the issue here. I have placed very large implants on women in primary augmentations,... more
