Is 450 Cc Too Large - Will They End Up Droopy and Weird if I Go High Profile Silicone? (photo)

Silicone gel implants appear more natural on thin people.  I also recommend under the muscle placement.  However, you may not be able to accommodate a large implant of 450 cc.  Attempts to put too large of an implant will result in the implant dislocating inferiorly and laterally with loss of projection.  You may be better off with a smaller implant higher and perhaps a mastopexy (Mini Ultimate Breast Lift) at the same time.  You are active with sports and the added weight of a large implant may be a problem.

Hello,


Sizing for implants before undergoing breast augmentation is a little tricky when you confine yourself to the "cup-size" method especially that bras of same cup size differ and there is not a constant rubric to follow.


Therefore, the best bet is to try on different sizes during your consultation with your surgeon. Wearing a tight shirts is important as it helps showing a fair approximation of how your breasts size will look like after surgery.

Taking into consideration your active lifestyle, trying out different sizes (especially the 450cc) will be sufficient for you to make a decision in terms of weight how the implants will feel on you while being active.


That being said, please remember that commendable results require an exceptionally skilled surgeon to perform the surgery and settling for anything less than that increases the chances of additional corrective surgeries dramatically.

 

I hope this helps and please feel free to check the website below.

Thank you for your inquiry.
The best of luck to you.

Getting sized for breast implants is much more involved than it seems at first thought. It requires a full consultation with detailed questions to see exactly what your goals are, short and long term. It also requires precise measurements of your current breast dimensions, the dimensions of your chest wall, as well as preoperative photography, standard or 3D imaging.

To see what the best options are for you, see two or more board-certified plastic surgeons in your area for a full and complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have surgery.  I hope this helps.
