Are 500cc Breast Implants Unsafe or Too Large for my Body?

Thank

you for your question. You are a great candidate for breast implants.
The implants will give you more fullness and rounder breasts. Consider smaller implants if you desire a more natural result.

One of the most important decisions
facing breast augmentation patients is the size of breast implants that will be
used.Most patients are striving for
harmony, balance and proportion with surrounding anatomic structures.Typically, they want a natural look with some
fullness in the upper breast area. The patient consultation is the
starting point for their decision and every effort should be made to have good
communication.Based on your
pre-operative pictures, a 500 cc implant would appear to be a reasonable choice
if your aesthetic goal was a D-cup.Implants of this size are not usually associated with safety issues.It’s important to realize that most
patients tend to speak in terms of cup size.Unfortunately, the cup size isn’t always helpful because manufacturers
of bras label their products differently and women don’t always wear their bras
the same way.In other words, some women
wear their bras snugly while others wear them loosely.This creates communication problems when
talking cup size. In an effort to determine breast
size in a more objective manner, we utilize external silicone sizers and the 3D
Vectra Computer Imaging System.External
silicone sizers are designed to sit on top of the patient’s breasts.They can be held against the patient’s chest
or placed inside the patient’s bra.This
technique helps the patient visualize what their breasts would look like with a
specific sized implant.It also gives
them a sense of the volume that will sit on their chest wall and how it
feels.The 3D Vectra Computer Imaging
System is a relatively new technology that we’ve found to be extremely helpful
for determining breast implant size.This system allows a patient to visualize different sized implants on
their actual body.Patients find this to
be extremely helpful.The ability to visualize your
projected surgical result alleviates much of the anxiety associated with this
procedure.I feel that both the use of
external silicone sizers and the 3D Vectra Computer Imaging System accomplish
this goal.It’s important to remember
that final adjustments in the size of breast implants will ultimately be made
in the operating room depending upon anatomic factors.

Choosing the right breast implant size is a matter of taste and personal judgement.  I encourage patients to try on many sizes, folllowed by a more objective breast measurement analysis in my office.
