Is 550cc or 650cc Better when It Comes to Longevity of Breast Implants?

April 26, 2013
Asked By:JewelHer in Fresno

I have my breast augmentation surgery next month and after reading questions & answers on here i am a bit concerned about my decision on implant size. I am 5'5, 160lbs and currently a 36A. During consultation i choose 550cc but during post op, with the system my PS used to show what 550cc would look like compared to 650cc, i choose to go with 650cc. Now hearing that it could sag sooner makes me a bit worried. PS says i have enough tissue to do 650cc, but would smaller be better long term?
