Hi! I'm completely flat chested to the point where I barely qualify as an AA cup. I'm thinking about getting somewhere between 600cc and 800cc silicone implants because I have nothing as it is, and have a fairly large frame. My two main concerns would be A) Would adding that much when you've got next to no natural breast tissue create a really fake look? B) Would it cause stretch marks? If it helps, I'm 5'9" and 155 lbs.
Answer: Implant Volume Implant volume is an important part of any augmentation consultation. While this is ultimately a patient choice, this decision is best made when taking advantage of the experience of your surgeon. There are a number of factors which play a role in shaping this choice:-Patient desire-Chest/Breast base width-Breast composition (breast tissue vs. fat)-Skin elasticity (pinch test)Each of these plays a role in finding the appropriate implant for the patient in question.While it is difficult to make any recommendations without an in-person consultation, 600-800cc implants are quite large, often leading to a less natural result. Sizers, goal photos and 3D imaging can all be helpful.As always, discuss your concerns with a board certified plastic surgeon.

Answer: Breast Implant Size This is a good question. Without seeing you in person and performing an evaluation it is difficult to give you specific answers. In general, 600-800cc implants are very large. Considerations for you would be if there is enough skin laxity to accommodate such a large implant and if there is enough soft tissue to maintain a natural look. You do not want the implants to look like a shrink-wraped covered masses on your chest - this would occur if there is a mismatch between the skin laxity and size of implant and lack of adequate soft tissue coverage. A nice service we offer in our office is VECTRA 3D imaging where you can see different size implants placed within a 3D image of your body. I would suggest setting up a consult to review your options.Good Luck

Answer: Implants when completely flat chested? The size implants you are considering would be considered large by any standard. An implant that large would definitely look fake and more likely than not cause stretch marks. You should be seen by a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon for an in person exam. At that exam the surgeon should discuss how he or she determines an appropriate implant size, based on your height, bone structure, weight and the amount of breast tissue and/or fat.

Answer: Breast implants when flat chested It's important for you to be evaluated by a plastic surgeon in person. It will be very helpful to review before and after photos of women who are similar to you in height, weight and starting cup size so you can see how different size implants would look and also get some information about what size implants would fit into your frame. Although stretch marks could occur from breast implants, it is very infrequent. For more information on this and
