Am I too skinny for breast implants? (Photo)

Thank you so much for this question. You're very tiny. I don't see how 600 cc will fit in your body. Perhaps you could get there with several operations. I suggest a formal consultation with breast measurements and see what actually can fit in your breasts!Good luck. Dr. ALDO

Hello, Thanks for your question. You are a candidate for breast implants but my want to go with a smaller size initially. You can always upsize at a later date once your skin has expanded. I would recommend using a silicone implant placed under the muscle so that  you can minimize implant visibility post-op. All the best,Dr. BlaggAustin, TX

It is not just the volume that matters, but the dimensions. At 6'2" you will indeed require a much larger volume than someone who is 5'2' for the same effect. There are limitations in skin elasticity and nipple to fold distance that create "limits". You would need to be seen, examined and measured to see what the best implant for you might be.

It is difficult to fit a 600 cc size implant into many people on the first surgery, especially if you have a lack of skin to fill out. A smaller implant would likely first need to be placed to allow the skin and muscle (if done under the muscle) to stretch out gradually, then around 6-12 months later a larger implant can be placed. Gaining weight overall would only work to increase your breast size, and not necessarily still allow a 600 cc implant to be placed initially. 

You may not have enough tissue to cover an implant of the size you are describing. While it may be possible to place an implant that large, the results generally doesn't look as good as taking a more step-wise approach. You may want to consider going with a smaller (~400cc) implant in order to allow your body adjust and then increasing to a larger size later.
