After 2 consultations i have booked my surgery, we have decided on 500cc high profile round silicone implants. i am 5'9 160 lbs and 13.5cm across my breast base. i will be having a breast lift at the same time as augmentation. I am currently a 36 or 34 B and I am hoping to have a DD after. Will 500 cc bring me to a DD in size? my PS said i cannot go any bigger than 500cc because of the breast lift. What size do you estimate my breast to be afterwards?
Answer: Determining size after augmentation and lift Thank you for your picture. I agree that a lift is necessary a 500 mL gel implant is appropriate. I agree that a larger implant place will make it difficult to perform a lift. After surgery is hard to determine what cup size you will be. There's no way to predict that going in or to tell that afterwards until you're completely healed and you are remeasured. Therefore focus less on the cup size and more on the desired and actual results. Good luck

CONTACT NOW Answer: Breast Augmentation with Mini Ultimate Breast Lift(TM) At size 34 each 100 cc’s of implant corresponds to 1 cup size change.500 cc implants will take you to a size G, weigh over 1 lb each, will extrude inferiorly and laterally requiring revision.I recommend a new technique called Breast Augmentation with Mini Ultimate Breast LiftTM.Using only a circumareola incision it is possible to reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage.Through the same incision, implants can be placed.Aligning the areola, breast tissue and implant over the bony prominence of the chest wall maximizes anterior projection with a minimal size implant.Small round textured silicone gel implants placed retro-pectoral look and feel more natural, are more stable, less likely to ripple or have complications needing revision.Implant profile is irrelevant in the retro-pectoral position since the muscle compresses it.300 cc implants would take you to a DD.However, you are asymmetrical in shape, position and volume.The lift is just as important as the implant.Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Answer: 500 cc for 5'9 160lbs? In my over the internet opinion if you desire DD cup there is NO WAY to achieve in only 1 operation combination of larger implant with full lift... Best to do lifting operation first than wait 3 months for healing. Have second operation of larger volume implant in 600 to 800 range...

Answer: 500 cc breast implants should bring you to a D cup in the bra you are currently wearing Thank you for your question. I am glad you're having a lift which will hopefully give you better symmetry. 500 cc breast implants are quite large, I rarely uses them and my guess is that they will bring you to a D cup.

Answer: 500 cc breasts implants with a lift Dear Mariie, Thanks for submitting your picture. From the picture it appears that you have a small A cup with grade 2 ptosis on the right side and A cup with grade 2 to 3 on the left side. If indeed your chest circumference is 34 inches, 500 cc implants will bring you to a 34 D + . If you are 36 inches you'll become a 36 small D. As far as the lift, as long as it is a mini lift ( donut, circum areola ) , you should heal without a problem. Any other lift technique , will be better off with small implants, so that there will be less compromise of the circulation due to excess pressure on the skin flaps and the nipples. Always, consult only, with board certified plastic surgeons who operate in accredited surgery center. Check their before and after pictures to make sure that they are numerous, consistent and you like them. Also, check the reviews for positive patients experience Best of luck, Dr Widder

Answer: Lift and implant Sounds like you have a good surgical plan, I rarely use 500cc implants but I am sure your doc has spoken to you at length about the consequences of heavy weighted implants on soft tissues of the breast
