Breast Augmentation - How Can I Know if 500cc Submuscular is too Big for Me?
It is very difficult to predict exactly what someone will look like after a specific size breast implant, though my video (see below) addresses many of these issues. 500 cc may be a size you would like but you've raised another issue - the "droop" that you have. This will not be addressed with implants alone, and you should speak with your surgeon about having a lift at the same time. Of course, this increases the scars on the breasts, and you would typically...

Choosing breast implant size
Yhe best way to determine what you will look like after a breast augmentation is to have 3D imaging simulations done of the breasts. There is some very excellent software available now that recreates very realistic results, based on what implant size you choose. If your surgeon doesn't offer this service, then implant sizers will also give a good indication of your results.

Is 500cc too big
I would suggest you look on line at photos of other women who start with your volume and have results you like. they normally include implant size. Personally, based on your photos, I would recommend a mastopexy(lift) with a slightly smaller implant than you are looking at.

You need to have lift
Your nipple position and your breast tissue position below the inframammary folds all make you candidate for breast lift. Big implants may give you temporary lift and fullnesss,but your breast will sag even more. Patients do not want scar and extra surgery for the lift,but wrong procedure will make the patient unhappy in long run.

A large implant may not be enough
It is impossible to make a specific recommendation for you based on your question and the photos provided however I often see ladies who need a lift getting larger implants (like the 500 you are asking about) in the hope of avoiding a lift. The other doctors spoke about sizing ideas and I would just caution you to ask the surgeon to see photos of similarly shaped patients before and after augmentation alone. If you are looking for perkiness, you may be disappointed. You...

500 cc too big or just right
The best thing to do is to try on 500cc implants underneath a sizer bra to get an idea what you would look like underneath clothing. Although this is not entirely accurate, it may give you an idea of what the volume will be overall. Another general formula, which isn't entirely accurate, is that every 200cc of implant volume will increase your cup size by one letter. In the end, measurements of your breast diameter, chest wall, degree of drooping, and the amount of...

Is 500 cc too big?
Hello,
A simple way to make sure that the implant size is right for you is to try on an implant under a sports bra or tight shirt in the plastic surgeons office. You may also want to try on some smaller ones as well and see which gives you the look you want. You will also want to make sure that the diameter of the implant matches your breast width diameter.
All the best,

Implants too big?
Thank you for your question.
It is very difficult to say if 500cc is too big for you without examining you and discussing your goals. I ask patients to bring in "goal photos" so that when I am in the operating room, I can adjust the temporary sizer to see what size implant will achieve the patient's goals.
Just from your height and weight information you provided, 500cc silicone may be fine.
I think clear communication with your surgeon as to what you want to...

Is 500cc too big?
Thank you for your question and photos. Pick the implants based on the size you want to be. Do not go up on the implant size thinking that this will correct any breast droop that you have. It may work in the short term but not in the long run. Eventually, large heavy implants with settle into the breast and cause you more problems and maybe even more droop.
Have you considered sticking with the 450cc and having a circumareolar breast lift? It's one...
