I am considering getting 500cc breast implants. I want a noticeable change without being gigantic. I think the 500cc implants are a good size for my body frame - I'm 5'-7", 145 lbs - currently wearing a 36C bra for the cup width size, but definitely not filling it up. What I am concerned about is how they will possibly limit my activity. I run occasionally but do yoga, barre, and boot camp classes more frequently than running... I'm active. What issues might the 500cc implants present?
Answer: Long term effects of 500cc implants Hello, insertion of any implant is associated with risks, but insertion of implants that are disproportionately large has additional risks of rippling, sagging, numbness, and other problems. Your surgeon will be able to advise you whether they feel your implant choice is optimal for your body type.

Answer: 500 cc implants You are talking about over a pound of implant in each size. Over time, this will cause your breast to sag. I would definitely suggest under the muscle placement but keep in mind that since you are active, the implant will move as your arm moves. Hope this helps -- Dr. Nazarian

Answer: Size You can expect to go up 2 cup sizes, possibly even 3, with implants of this size on your frame. Each of these implants will weigh slightly over a pound. This is a significant increase in size and weight (obviously) and will affect more than just your bra size. It will also affect the styles of clothing you fit into and also possibly your tolerance for some types of activities to some degree. Also, the larger the implant, the larger the pocket must be made, and there may be increase chance of sensory nerve injury with greater potential for numbness of the breast, and also visible implant rippling at the edges of the pocket, compared to a smaller implant size. There are definitely accepted guidelines for implant sizing. I recommend that you see and discuss your concerns in person with a board certified experienced plastic surgeon.

Answer: Long term affects of 500cc breast implants? Good question.In a woman with your dimensions, every 200cc approximately equals to 1 cup size. So, 500cc equals to 2 and one half increase in cup size. In other words, your cup size will increase to a full DD cup.Implants are heavy. The larger they are - the heavier they are - the more unstable they become. The rate of risks and complications associated with large implants increase and can range from: chronic pain, malposition, extrusion, stretch skin deformity, irreversible tissue damage, nipple numbness, capsular contracture, etc.). As an active woman, it is recommended that you wear a supportive bra at all times for the rest of your life (day and night) to minimize skin stretching, bottoming out, malposition, etc. I hope this helps you make an informed decision.Best wishes and kind regards.
