Breast Implant Sizing After Gastric Bypass - 650cc Too Big?

December 29, 2009
Asked By:princez76 in Sacramento, ca

Hi, I am a 33 yr old, 5'2" 140 lbs (medium frame) I currently wear a size 5-7 pant and small-medium top. I had gastric bypass surgery almost 5 years ago. I lost 85 lbs. Lucky for me, the only part of my body that had extra skin, after the weight loss was my breast. Before surgery I was a 38D and now a 34B with extra tissue. Thankfully, after five years post op from the by pass I have regained some of my breast mass, and do not need a lift.  I have had several consults with board certified plastic surgeons. However, I am nervous about the whole "650cc" for breast implants. Are they too big? I am scheduled for surgery on Feb 6th. I have tried on the gel implants with a tight shirt, and have visited my surgeon a few times to do this. I seem to like the larger look, but I am also concerned with the long term outcome.
