Will 510cc implants placed under the muscle be to big for me? I'm currently a 34B.

At
size 34 B each 100 cc’s of implant corresponds to 1 cup size change. 500 cc implants would take you to a size
G. 500 cc implants will not fit
retro-pectoral, will extrude inferiorly and laterally requiring revision. 22% of women who undergo breast augmentation
alone require revision within 2 years because they are dissatisfied with the
result. A frequent cause of
dissatisfaction is over implantation. I
always recommend small round textured silicone gel implants placed
retro-pectoral since they look and feel more natural, are more stable, less
likely to ripple or have complications needing revision. Implant profile is irrelevant in the
retro-pectoral position since the muscle compresses it. Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.

There is no way to guarantee a particular bra size. Bra sizing varies greatly between bra manufacturers and a C in one bra will be a D in another. What matters more than the assigned bra size is the way the implant looks on you. The best option for your body and aesthetic goals can be determined in a thorough implant sizing session.Implant sizing depends on several factors. One of the most important factors is your breast width. Generally, your surgeon will measure your breast width, and then provide you with a range of implant sizes appropriate for your native breast size. There are more nuances to it than just what I've described, but this approach works for most women.I usually have my patients bring in a large bra and a tight t-shirt to do sizing. I'll then choose 3-4 implants that I feel are appropriate, and have my patients place them in the bra under the tight t-shirt. My patients can then look in the mirror and get a good sense of what they will look like with the provided implant sizes. My patients like this approach and get a great idea of how they will look.By using this technique, your surgeon can outline a range of appropriate implant sizes that will be aesthetically pleasing, and you make the final decision.I hope this helps. Good luck!

Your plastic surgeon should measure the breast prior to a breast augmentation.  This will allow for selection of an implant that will fit appropriately within the breast.  The size depends on the patients goals and the surgeon should guide the patient towards a size that will help accomplish that safely.  If the patient wants something that isn't safe or possible, the plastic surgeon counsel the patient as to why that is the case and direct them to a solution that is more reasonable.  Discuss with your plastic surgeon before surgery and make sure you are comfortable before going forward.  Good luck.

Either 495cc or 510cc implants into your current 34B is going to make a huge difference as it is, such that the 15cc difference between 495 and 510 will probably not be noticeable. I would only advise that you be absolutely sure that you want implants in that size range in the first place.

Hi Dear:Without pictures is a litlle dificult to help you.  Between 495 cc and 510 cc there are only 15 cc, in order to have any difference you need at least 50cc more.  I need pictures to tell you more about this.Dr. Silvia Avilesdominican Certified Plastic Surgeon,.

510cc implants may be slightly large if you are currently a 34B.  I recommend a consultation with a plastic surgeon.  Height and weight are a big factor.

The difference between 495 and 510 is minimal and should make any noticeable changes in the final size. Your pictures would have been helpful.

Your question is a good one but don't focus on the size of the implant but what will make you look good. There are many factors that go into deciding which implant is the best.  Your surgeon can guide you but he can only work with the possible and what is wanted and possible are not always the same.  Listen to what your PS tells you.

There are several variables to evaluate to recommend implant sizes.  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.Best wishes,Dr. Basu

Thank you for your question.  510 cc breast implants are quite large and when done in conjunction with a breast lift can increase the chance of complications related to decreased blood supply to the nipple.  Since you are uncertain it is important that she reconsult your plastic surgeon and discuss the size option in view of the breast lift in detail.  Be sure to ask about the risks of scarring and skin loss due to lack of blood supply when a large implant is placed during a breast lift.
