Would 500cc saline breast implants look okay?

I'm 5'7, 140lb, have a 29in rib cage, and am currently a small B cup. I am thinking of getting 500cc mod+ saline breast implants under the muscle. I want the look of a full D, but do not want to look too fake. I also want to be able to conceal them for my job. Will this size give me the look I desire? Will this large size be more likey to have problems or sag? Thanks for any advice or help!

A: Huge!

Scott E. Kasden, MD

For a 29 inch bra size,  a 500 cc moderate profile will look huge in both projection and in diameter.  From behind, you may look like a car with the doors open! I urge you to understand that as the inplant size increases, it is the diameter that increases much more than projection.  With a... more

A: Sounds too large

Robin T.W. Yuan, MD

You might have a conflict of interest. Going from a small B to a full D indicates a significant size increase. In general, a cup size increase will give you a reasonable and natural result. Youare asking for a 3 size difference. Any implant that is needed to give you this will be relatively unnatural since the... more

A: Implant size and shape

Steven Wallach, MD

500 cc mod+ implants are fairly wide.  You seem to be very narrow.  The wider the implant the more lateral breast you will appear to have. Certainly they will not have the same projection as an HP implant.  Going a bit smaller will look better in the office.  Also remember, that the... more
