I am 5'2, 122 lbs and just had saline implants behind the muscle. They are a 650 implant filled to 720 each, why do I feel like they are so small? I had implants before that were 380 each so they are bigger of course....just not what I expected. Are they going to shrink more? Am I just being ridiculous? Would I look ridiculous if I got them done again? Ignore the crackling skin...I spray tan and hadn't been for awhile.
Answer: 700 CC #BreastImplants are Not Small Despite the fact that you may feel the implants are small, they are not, from a surgeons perspective. Very large implants can have a negative effect on your tissues as they age. This will stretch your skin (as it has your spray tan) and then cause a progressive loss of breast tissue. If you really want more fullness, then a good bra may be the best option if you are at all concerned about the long-term appearance of your breasts. There are a number of surgeons who will place extra-large implants, but I would think long and hard about this before you proceed in that direction.Best of luck, Vincent Marin, MDSan Diego Plastic SurgeonMarinAesthetics.com

Answer: 720 ccs is not too small but it really depends on what you desire and what risks you are willing to accept. I do not limit my patient's choices until it makes them look beyond ridiculous. But for some people, they want that and feel it will help make their lives more fulfilling so if they are accepting of the many risks including looking disproportionate, then we go for it. But this is after much counseling. You look very large for your frame and going bigger would only increase the disparity.
