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!

600 mL implant may work. But it's hard to determine since I do not have your physical exam more specifically your breast measurements. You will have to trust the opinion and recommendations of your plastic surgeon. He or she would not pick an implant that would be too large that will cause you problems in the long run.Good luck Earl Stephenson Jr MD DDS FACS

This is always a difficult decision for some. In my opinion, the best thing to do is have a thorough sizing session. I provide my patients with a range of about 3-4 implants that are appropriate for their specific measurements. I then have them try these implants on in a special sizing bra. With this process, my patients have been able to choose their own implants. I have found this to be the best method for implant sizing. Be sure to see a board certified PS in your area. They should be willing to spend the time with you doing this. Best of luck!

A 600cc breast implant is a very large implant. The most common implant sizes in my practice are usually anywhere in the 300cc to 500cc range. It is hard to say without seeing photos or completing an exam if that implant size will be the right choice for you. You will have to discuss with your plastic surgeon. Best of Luck.

Thank you for the question.To best help you, a
physical examination or picture evaluation is required in order to
determine which procedures and techniques would be best for your case.Dr. Campos

Hi thereI say this without having spoken or examining you, but I would never put 600cc implants in anybody as a cosmetic augmentation.  They are very large and your chances of issues later on are always greater.I would think very carefully about going so large, both from a physical and a psychological point of view.  However many surgeons would disagree with me.  My advice is to be fully aware of all the issues associated with large implants.All the best.

In order to see if 600 cc implants are right for you, an exam in person is essential and an evaluation of your goals is key.

To help my patients achieve their goals, I consider two factors when selecting implants for my patients:1. Dimensional planning2. Gel Implant Sizing systemDimensional planning – The measurements of your chest wall are taken. Also, the breast dimensions including the height, width, and current dimensions of each breast form the basis of dimensional planning. Based on these measurements, the implant size is recommended. This will give you a unique breast implant that is suited for your body frame. However, there are some limitations of what size we can recommend. For instance, some implants may just be too big for a narrow chest wall. Your surgeon can review this with you during the consultation.Gel Implant Sizing system – During the preliminary breast implant consultation, you will be provided with an option to “try on” a variety of implant shapes and sizes. You can also visualize the possible outcomes of your surgery which helps you to get that perfect size to give you the shape that you longed for. This way your preferences are known and you can then pick a range of implants that will “fit” just right to give a soft natural fuller look. Hope this helps.Dr. BasuHouston, TX
