I have a scheduled breast augmentation for next week. I just went to my Pre-op apt and we settle in a 510 cc silicone breast implant. I'm nervous it will be too big! I am 32 yrs old, 5'6" 140 lbs. and right now I am a B cup. I was hoping to get to a D cup, but do not really want to be larger than that. I am planning on going under the muscle. I am just hoping the implant will not be too big for me?!

Answer: What Breast Implant Size is Too Big for Me The answer to your question really involves accurate assessment of your breast and chest dimensions, tissue thickness, original breast shape, as well as the stretchability of your breast tissue as a whole. The last thing you want to do is compensate for saggy, weak breast tissue by placing an implant that is over-sized for your dimensions. This weakens the tissue further and further and then you will require multiple complex revisions with additional scars. In general, 510 is a bit large for just about everyone, however there are exceptions to this, as in someone who is very wide chested. Once you go too big, there is no going back. My philosophy is that when in doubt, go smaller. The video clip from The Doctors TV show, I discuss this philosophy and how it can help minimize trauma to the chest tissue allowing for improved recovery. Good luck to youDrG
