Age 26, 5'7, 170lbs - is 640cc Natrelle silicone, HP, too much for me? (Photos)

Question

I am 26 years old 5'7 and around 170lbs. I have had 2 kids and decided I wanted to get my boobs done. My doctor used Vectra to show me about what size and we agreed at the time that 640 cc looked the best.. Natrelle silicone high profile. After reading all hear reviews it seems like it's pretty rare that people looking for a "natural look" have implants this size. Is this too big for me? I attached a picture of my initial measurements too so I hope it helps. I want big... but natural big....

Thank you for your question regarding implant sizing.

In my experience, having the patience measurements specifically your base width diameter is crucial for choosing the correct implant for an augmentation.

I encourage you to have an in person consultation so your surgeon can measure you appropriately. Surgeons may also have sizers that you can try on while in office that can help you visualize as well.

Thanks for your question! "Natural" is not typically a word I would use to describe implants over 600cc, but it's more important to focus on what will make you happy. If you like the photos and like the surgical plan, then you will be happy. You are taller so you can accommodate more implant than others. Best of luck!

Thanks for your question and the simulation photos you provided. My answer is somewhat limited since I was not able to examine you in person. I find myself using larger implants( 550+ cc) on patients who have some sort of breast sagging. The larger implant tends to help with the appearance of a subtle lift. So maybe after 2 kids, you breast does have some loose skin than needs to be filled with a larger implant. Be sure to discuss your concerns with your board certified plastic surgeon

Gerald Minniti, MD, FACS · Answer

A recent article published in PRS discussed this issue and came to the conclusion that simulation (what you did) or using sizers were the two best methods. I disagreed with the conclusion of the paper for the very reason you are presenting: Looking at the simulated photos tells you very little about how you will look in real life. My contention is that nothing comes close to the accuracy of sizing in the office using purpose built sizers. This technique allows you to see yourself in real time in the mirror with clothes on, the way you will see yourself most often. If your surgeon doesn't have sizers you can make your own rice sizers, which are very accurate. Videos on Youtube will show you how to make them.
