Surgery is 3 weeks away and I just wanted a second opinion. Plastic surgeon and I agreed on 650cc moderate profile Mentor saline implant under the muscle. I really don't want upper pole fullness so should I change anything before surgery or does the plan sound good? I would like the end result to be a natural looking small to mid D. Thanks for any advice! 5'7 135 lbs B cup

Answer: 650cc saline implants too big? Hi, based on your picture and your height and weight i can venture that 650 saline implants would give you the opposite of what you are looking for. although this is not very scientific, but please expect your cup size to increase to over a DD and expect significant upper pole fullness and an unnatural result with the 650s. I think you would be better served by a smaller silicone implant and i recommend you get at least another opinion in that regard, from a qualified plastic surgeon and that you review before and after photographs of other patients with that size and smaller.

Answer: Bigger is not Better
I believe that if you go with a 650 cc implant that this would be too large for you. This will be detrimental to your skin over time. Consider down sizing your implant size.

Answer: Saline Implants under the muscle
It is a general rule that 175 cc of volume will increase your breasts by one cup size. You say you want natural looking small to mid D breasts. If you receive saline 650 cc implants, you will go up by almost 4 cup sizes and will not look natural. You have a slender body and will look out of proportion with such large implants ( and you will definitely have upper pole fullness). I would not recommend going larger than 400-450 cc (especially with saline implants which are a litttle more firm and projecting). A good way to test sizes is to get a D bra with no padding and then put rice into panty hose (1 oz rice is 30 cc). So 650 cc of volume woud be around 22 oz of rice. Put the "rice sizers" into the bra and see what you think. I suspect that you will find that it is far too much volume for your frame.
