Are 600cc Silicone Implants Too Large for my Frame? (photo)

I am 5'9" and currently 180 lbs. In the past two years I have lost over 160 lbs. I don't have much breast tissue left, it's mostly skin and fits into a small 36B. I am planning a lollipop lift with implants but I'm unsure on size. I would like to be a full D or DD. My original plan was 600cc's silicone under the muscle. Now I'm rethinking the game plan due to increased risk of a large implant. I'm also having an arm lift w/ my BA. I'm 29 and have 3 kids. I'd love some professional opinions.

Are 600cc Silicone Implants Too Large for my Frame

I would suggest trying on sizer implants, and seeing what looks good in the mirror. You may find that a smaller implant than 600 cc gives a nice outcome. Without photos it is hard to comment on the choice of lift pattern that would be best, but by the description a full anchor pattern may turn out to be the recommended option, and if so, having the implants done at a separate setting may be appropriate. Thanks, congratulations, all the best.

When you're tall

You can handle larger volumes and I assume you have sized and saw what you would look like with 600 cc implants in your bra (I increase whatever size you like by 10% to make it look like what you saw with the sizer in your bra). Yes, there are a handful of surgeons beating their drums about using implants larger than 360 cc's but I have not experienced the horrible outcomes they suggest will happen when using larger implants. I say go for what you desire and understand there... more

600 cc implants

Without an exam it is very difficult to tell you one way or another whether or not 600 cc implants are right for you.

Implant size after weight loss

The safest way to pick an implant is to have your plastic surgeon pick an appropriate size based on the width and height of your breast, your preferences, and the quality and amount of your breast tissue. Adding a lift could change what sizes are considered appropriate, and staging the procedures might become necessary if you want a very large implant. If your skin is already stretched out from weight loss, your result may be much longer lasting with a more modest size than 600. more

Breast augmentation after weight loss

Thank you for the question. I would like to give you precise advice but it is very difficult without a proper examination and measurement of your breast width. I would like to congratulate you on your big achievement of the weight loss. I agree with the need for the breast lift with the implant. The combination of a breast lift with an augmentation can be challenging because they are two opposing forces on the skin. I would recommend you consult with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon who... more

600 cc Breast Implant and Breast Lift with Arm Lift

The safest thing to do is to stage a breast augmentation of that volume and the lift. Having said that, you will be able to find some plastic surgeons who perform breast lifts with large implants at the same time. Find the plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials who performs hundreds of breast augmentations and breast lifts each year. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

Best Breast Implant Size/ Profile for Me?

Congratulations on your significant weight loss; you should be very proud of this accomplishment! As you can imagine, it is not possible to give you precise advice without direct examination or viewing pictures. However, both you and your plastic surgeon should emphasize “safety” concerns when deciding what size of breast implants should be used at the same time the breast lift is performed. Sometimes, it is best to stage the procedures; for example, undergo breast... more

Breast implants and lifts

Your clothed photo gives us no information to help you with. But going with a large implant at the same time as a lift is a bad idea because the implant stretches you and the lift tightens you. Much more complications come from this rather than staging the two.

600 cc Breast implants

Thank you for your question about 600 cc breast implants. Congratulations on your weight loss. Well done! Large implants with a breast lift increase risks of skin and nipple loss Consider implants first, with the arm lift. A breast lift later, as needed. Or arm and breast lift - implants later. Or much smaller implants. 600 cc implants under the muscle can hurt for weeks. 600 cc implants over the muscle make breasts droop fast... more
