I went to a consultation with a plastic surgeon. We tried on many breast implants and decided on two sizes, 550 cc and 650 cc in the other. I am a bigger girl, 5'6' and around 160 lbs. They looked good in the bra with a shirt on, but I'm just wondering, if they drop, will I have cleavage? Is that a good size for me because I'm bigger? Will that make me a D or a DD? I just want to make sure I'm not going to have "[RS bleep] Star" boobs. I was told average recovery time is 5-8 days. I'm still smoking, and the surgery is in 3 weeks.
Answer: Are my implants too large. You have many concerns which are difficult to address adequately in an email. Seeing that you have been to a consultation with a plastic surgeon, I would rely primarily on her/his evaluation and recommendations. These are relatively large implants for the average augmentation but they may be proportionate for you. Generally the risk of complications may increase with increasing size.

Answer: You liked the sizers! It is a good size for you because you liked the way the sizers looked! Everybnody has a different opinion about the way their body should look. You have selected the size based on your own personal understanding of size, and that is the most important thing! Stop smoking if you can, that is the most important contribution you can make to your own recovery.

Answer: Choose Implants That Fit Your Body & Frame It’s always difficult making decisions about breast size without performing a physical examination or seeing pre-operative pictures. In addition, patients underlying anatomy and personal preference for size and shape must be considered as well. It’s important to choose breast implants that fit your body. These implants should have harmony, balance and proportion with the surrounding structures. It’s also important to realize that breast implants can come in all shapes and sizes because no two women are exactly the same. In the vast majority of patients, 550-650 cc implants would be considered excessively large, but in some cases this might be appropriate depending upon the patient’s baseline anatomy. In light of the fact, that you describe yourself as a large women with small breasts, this may be necessary to achieve the goal of harmony, balance and proportion. It’s important that you proceed cautiously and use as many breast sizing tools as possible. I find external sizers and the 3D Vectra imaging system to be particularly helpful. Make sure your surgeon has a thorough understanding of your aesthetic goals, so you can achieve an optimal aesthetic result.

Answer: Breast augmentation using large implants 5'6" is a good height to carry large breast implants. As long as the implants are placed submuscularly, you will have a nice natural sloped look depending on the placement. Remember that internally your anatomy is different and you may need a different number of cc's to achieve the look you want. I would suggest showing your plastic surgeon pictures of what look you would like to achieve. I would also suggest 1 week recovery after having a breast augmentation. That means no strenuous exercise and no heavy lifting. Keeping your elbows to your sides at least for that first week will help you heal faster. The more you do with your pec muscles the longer it will take for you to heal.

Answer: Large Breast Implants Yes, those are large breast implants. It really depends on your chest diameter and how much breast tissue you have to begin with. That will determine your ultimate bra size. If you are particularly wide, then a wider breast implant like a moderate profile will help fill in the cleavage area. But ultimately, what determines your cleavage is how close your breasts are now and your anatomy. Good luck.
