I want to ask you guys a question about breast implants? Let’s say a women has B + cup size, but she wants to go all the way up to a D cup? Can there be any risks that the larger you go there might be some types of complications after the surgery? Also, I saw videos from surgeons on TV where they make smaller cuts under the arm pit to insert the implant where in the past they used to make a round cut around the breast? After the surgery do they use stitches after inserting the implant?

Answer: Yes Implants that are larger in volume will reduce the amount of tissue coverage. This can lead to visibility and palpability. Stay under the muscle with proportionate size implant

Answer: Is it more risky to have larger breast implants? I appreciate your question.As implant size goes up, and the natural amount of breast tissue you have goes down, the less natural a result do you get. One technique to have a more 'natural' result while still having a large augmentation is to use shaped implants. That being said, this relationship still holds and with bigger implants the final result tends to be more 'sculpted' or 'augmented' and more obvious or easier to identify even when in clothes. Choosing an implant is a complex process and I definitely recommend setting up a formal consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon.I hope this is helpful.The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam. Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative breast surgery. Best of luck! Dr. Schwartz
