I want to get 475cc Saline implants. The patient coordinator I talked to said they have saline implants with a silicone outer shell. I’m currently a 32A and want to go up to a D, or at least look for something like in my wish pic. I’m quite skinny..wold they be too big for my frame? Is it possible to get that look with saline implants. Just wanted more opinions on this
Answer: Breast Augmentation Wishes Given your history, desires, and wish pic I think an implant between 400-500 cc is reasonable. You should consider a high profile implant as well. I have a feeling that your wish pic patient has had more than one breast augmentation. She likely has increased her size with each surgery. This allows for tissue expansion.

Answer: Breast Augmentation Sizing Hello,Implant selection is a very important process, and patients desires may not be appropriate. Your anatomic capacity (determined by ABPS certified/ASAPS member surgeons who specialize in breast surgery) will govern the maximum size implant you can accommodate without vastly increasing your risk for complications and reoperation. Cup sizes are not helpful for your surgeon to determine your aesthetic goals, and there is no way for any surgeon to reliably deliver a given bra size. Go to your surgeon and get sized, but be sure you don't exceed your anatomic capacity. Best of luck!

Answer: Size The implant selection should be based on a combination of your desired size, soft tissue dynamics, breast base diameter and skin elasticity. I recommend an in-office examination as well as a detailed discussion with a surgeon who you are comfortable with. Finally, make sure your surgeon is a Double-Board Certified Plastic Surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS), a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgery (ASPS), a member of the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), and a fellow of the American College of Surgeons (FACS).Best,Dr. DesaiBeverly Hills Institute for Aesthetic Plastic SurgeryHarvard Educated, Beverly Hills & Miami Beach TrainedDouble Board-Certified, Double Fellowship-Trained Beverly Hills Plastic Surgeon

Answer: Would 475cc be too big for me? I’m currently a 32A and want to go up to a D. Thank you for your pictures and questions. I think that if you are an A cup and want to go to a D cup, you are going to be looking at an implant probably in the 350-500 cc range, so I do not think a 475 cc implant is out of the question. However, the volume is not as important as your measurements and the measurements of the implant.You are likely going to need a high profile implant to achieve your goals and the width of the implant needs to fit your breast width, which may limit the volume you can have. I think your next step needs to be a consultation with a local plastic surgeon who is board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. I would not be suggesting saline implants for you, so if your surgeon is suggesting that, I would question that recommendation and maybe consider a second opinion. Hope this helps!

Answer: Breast augmentation, 475cc Hello and thank you for your question. You are a great candidate for a breast augmentation. It would be helpful to know your individual breast measurements in order to determine if 475cc is an appropriate size implant for you. The size, profile, and shape of the implant is based on your desired breast size/shape, your chest wall measurements, and soft tissue quality. This decision should be based on a detailed discussion with equal input from both you and your surgeon. This entire surgery can be performed with a small incision technique. Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results. The most important aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person.
