How big can I go and be safe? 5'6", 130LBS, 600cc silicone implants.

At
size 34 each 100 cc’s of implant corresponds to 1 cup size change.600 cc implants would take you to a size G
and it would be very difficult for you to find clothes or bras that fit.600 cc implants weigh over 1 lb each, will
not fit retro-pectoral, will extrude inferiorly and laterally requiring
revision.Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Dear Andrea,  If indeed you are 34 A cup, a 600 cc implants will incease your breasts  by  4 sizes which means that you will end up with a 34 DD cup size. If that's ok with you from the apearance stand point, safety is realy a non issue when done by an experienced board certified plastic surgeon. I would like you, though, to reconsider silicone implants for saline implants for the following reasons : 1. silicone implants cost 3 times more than saline implants. 2 The incision for large silicone implants has to done in the sub mammary crease which is not scar friendly and due to the large size of the implants the incision will be very long. On the contrary, saline implants, regardless of the size can be inserted through a small incision under the areola which is scar friendly. 3. The sub areola incision allows to an easier pocket dissection with nicer cleavage and more precise new sub mammary fold.  4. When saline implants rapture , it is very simple to replace, where as silicone removal is complex. I hope this helps. Always check the before and after pictures of your surgeon, to make sure that they are numerous, consistent and you like them. Also, check the reviews.            Best of luck,                               Dr Widder

Not an easy question to answer, especially without photos or, ideally, an in person exam.  34A to 600cc implants may be a bit of a stretch.  But that depends very much on your tissue characteristics.  Be sure to have several in person consultations with recommended board certified plastic surgeons.  Best of luck!
