A couple days ago I asked about if a dual plane approach will increase the risk in bottoming out. A doctor said he thinks a 400cc implant would be to large for me. My plastic surgeon didn’t seem to think it would be to large and he wants to use a dual plane approach. I still have time to change my size.. but I really loved the look of the 400cc sizers. Could I get a few more opinions? I will post more photos and angles of my breasts. I am 5’4 125 lbs.

Answer: Wondering if 400cc implants are too large Thank you for your question. Implants are selected based on your breast measurements, tissue thickness, skin tone and other factors that can only be properly assessed in person. Your surgeon will be your best source of advice. If you are not sure about the choice, you could book another appointment or seek as second opinion.

Answer: Breast augmentation, 400cc Hello and thank you for your question. You are a great candidate for a breast augmentation. 400cc may be okay for you. The size, profile, and shape of the implant is based on your desired breast size/shape, your chest wall measurements, and soft tissue quality. This decision should be based on a detailed discussion with equal input from both you and your surgeon. Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results.

Answer: Maximum projection with simultaneous lift instead of large implants 400 cc implants weigh almost 1 lb each. Your breasts are low on the chest wall and lateral. Your inframammary fold will have to be released to allow the implant to be centered. This will result in bottoming out or a double bubble deformity. I recommend a modified Benelli. Using a circumareola incision, your breast tissue is reshaped, elevated higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. At the same time, small implants can be placed. Aligning the nipple, breast tissue and implant will maximize projection.Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.
