600cc is to Big? Age 27, 5'3, 125, A Cup After Weight Loss?

Congratulations on your significant weight loss; you should be very proud of this accomplishment. Many patients who have had significant weight loss to benefit from breast augmentation (and often) breast lifting surgery. Sometimes a relatively large breast implant is necessary to achieve goals;  is quite common for patients to state that they “want their breasts back”.

As you can imagine, it is not possible to give you precise advice without direct examination and a full communication of your goals. Based on your body type, careful communication of your goals will be very important;  I would suggest that you do not base this communication ( or your satisfaction with the results of surgery) on a specific cup size.  Goal pictures and an emphasis on achieving a “proportionate” (given your height and weight) result  may be helpful.


In my practice, the use of photographs of “goal” pictures (and breasts that are too big or too small) is very helpful. I have found that the use of words such as “natural” or “full B, small C" etc means different things to different people and therefore prove unhelpful.
 Also, as you know, cup size varies depending on who makes the bra; therefore, discussing desired cup  size may also be inaccurate.


Once you feel you have communicated your goals clearly,  allow your plastic surgeon to use his/her years of experience/judgment to choose the breast implant size/profile that will best meet your goals.  Again, in my practice, this decision is usually made during surgery.


I hope this helps.

You have a common situation: too much skin and too little breast tissue causing deflated droopy breasts.  This condition can be addressed with a) a large implant, b) a breast lift requiring scars, or c) both, which usually means a smaller implant and minimal scars.  Most of my patients, athletic or otherwise are very unhappy with a large implant alone, especially if they are under 5'5".
