Petite Frame Wanting Large Implants. Will This Take More Than One Surgery? (photo)

Tags: G cup, incision, petite, tear drop

I'm 5'1'' and 105-110lbs. I'm currently a 32A/B with a ribcage of 26.5". I tried on sizers and I like the 600cc a lot. I know this is a large implant for my body but it is the look I like. I'm looking into the 32FF/G area. How many surgeries can it take for me to achieve that look? Is it still possible for me to get the teardrop slope despite the large implant size? Which is the best incision site for me? Is it possible for me to preserve my areola size. Photos below show the look I am goingfor

Big implants for your frame

I would recommend staging the augmentation to avoid the complications of going too big too fast. Eventually with larger implants and stretching of the skin the breasts will look softer and have a teardrop shape. Inframammary incision would be highly recommended for you to accommodate larger implant sizes. Consult with a board certified plastic surgeon with expertise in breast augmentation to fit you with appropriately sized implants that meet your goals. Good luck!

Very large implants may be short term fools gold

Hi there- To answer your question, I would say that your best bet is to stage the procedures at least 6 months to a year apart (planning on 2-3 ooperations to achieve the size you want). I feel ethically compelled, however, to remind you that while breasts as large as those in the photos you posted may seem attractive to you at this time in your life, the likelihood is that with time you will feel that they make you look heavy and matronly, and that they sag in an unattractive way... more

Breast augmentation with very large implants

There are several options. this can be done in stages with two or three sets of implants over 1-2 years or you may consider an adjustable saline implant or tissue expander to start. understand that larger implants will have more complications of capsules, stretch marks, thinning skin, malpostion and so forth

Big breast implants for augmentation

Thanks for your question. There is no doubt that several augmentations will be needed to stretch the skin and muscle before you adequately have the space to accomodate a bigger sized implant. Understand, however, that many excellent, well trained surgeons will advise you that this is not a good idea, and I will also join the choir in this regard. Shape and balance should always be more important than size. I can't tell you how many patients have had bad results... more

Extra Large Breast Implants

Many woman may choose to have extra large implants despite the risks. This is a choice that a woman should make only after consulting with a board certified plastic surgeon and being informed of the stresses on your breast tissue. Additional consent forms specifically acknowledging these risks and possible long term problems are often required. A look similar to the one pictured above is possible in one operation but no guarantee can be made on the... more

Petite frame and large implants

Mentor makes a tear drop shaped implant. One can never speak definitively without a consultation , but the size you desire is significantly larger than the current size of your breasts and such a significant augmentation may require more than one procedure. You must also seriously consider the complications which can arise from a dramatic increase in size. The areolae will be stretched out by the size of the implants regardless of the surgical approach. I personally favor infra-mammary... more

Choosing the right implant

It is very difficult to suggest what would be right for you without a formal exam. Often when you start out very small, the chest cannot accdomodate such a large implant.

Huge breast implants stretch out your tissues and age very badly.

Hi. This is not what you want to hear, but please read my answer. Our real job as plastic surgeons is to try to make the patient's life better. So I urge you not to do what you are contemplating. You are asking for a lifetime of trouble. If you wanted anything larger than a D cup, I would have to turn you away.

One question ...why?

I would have to say it would take several surgeries to achieve the look you are asking for, but my question is why. I doubt you will have any chance of getting a teardrop shape and I doubt if the implants will have any room to move in the pocket. Trying on a 600 cc pair of implants does not take into account your skin how much breast tissue you have and the base diameter of the implants. If you were my patient I would be telling you you are making a mistake. To go large you would need hi... more

How many G's in BIGGER?

The pictures you included will help your surgeon as a guide to what size you want to be. Remember, after breast augmentation....they will still be your breasts...BIGGER. I personally don't guarantee the "look" of any particular picture. Also, large breast implants have been associated with increased risk of complications, especially in the long term, such as tissue thinning, nipple stretching, rippling, synmastia (breast running together), etc... You have to... more

Petite Frame and Large Implants

Thank you the question in pictures. As you probably know, it may not be possible for you to look exactly like anyone else when it comes to breast size and shape. Also, you should be aware that if you try to “push the envelope" with breast implants that are larger than your natural breasts' width you may end up with complications that require further surgery to fix. In regards to achieving your goals... Much of the final “look”... more

Large breast Implants

Many doctors have weighed in on this issue, so my response will not be anything new, but here is is plain and simple. Don't do it. You are too small for implants that size and once you go that big, there is no going back. The tissues will be over stretched. You may like the way you look for several years, but after time and gravity (not to mention any future pregnancies) kick in, you will have large and very droopy breasts. Please think for the long term... more
