Breast Implants Bigger Than 300cc for a Small Frame?

To get 300cc, you have to have a breast base width of aobut 12 cm, and even wider than that if your breast is firm, full, or tight.

You have to decide what you want:: a natural looking breast that looks attractive, or a larger but faker looking breast with an implant too large for your tissues that will thin and stretch your tissues over time. Which do you want? Generally a patient must deciee between the two. You can't have any size you want and still look natural in most cases.

And high profile is not the asnwer. First they generally look very round and fake. Second, they put a lot of pressure on the breast envelope. You can't simply stretch the breast wtih impunity and not expect htere tob e longetrm consequences to the tissue, and even creating a crater in the rib cage. These implants were designed for breast reconstructdion after mastectomy and have little practical utility for augmentation patients who wish to look natural and best preserve the quality of their tissues.

What you need to do is go to a surgeon with an understanding of tissue based planning and simply accept the implant that objecively is the optimal fit for your tissue

I simply don't understand how it came to be that so many patients think that they can have any size they want shoved into their breasts, look good no matter what the size, and won't damage their tissue over the long term. If you shoved a size 8 foot into size 7 shoes, would you not expect the shoe to stretch and or squish and reshape the foot over time? It's no different when an overly large implant is shoved within a small and tight breast.

Tissue based planning is the key!.

Hi,
Thank you for your question.
Your doctor had some reasoning behind suggesting 300cc as the largest you should go. If you have a small frame, it is not wise to get implants that are too big for you. This can result in stretching and thinning of your breast tissue and possible sagging. Therefore, you would most likely need another surgery in the future to correct this. If fake looking breasts are what you desire, then high profile implants might be an option. However, if you want a natural looking enhancement, it would be best to stay within the limitations of your body as suggested by your doctor. Of course, I would have to examine you to concur with his opinion.
Second opinions are never a bad idea, especially when it comes to surgery and your body. You want to feel absolutely comfortable with your options and your decision. It is important to keep in mind that what you want and what your body can handle may not be a reality for you, but explore your options.
Best regards,
Dr. Speron

Given the wide variety of implant profiles now available, we currently have more options available to us compared to twenty years ago.
Ultimately the limit on the size depends on the diameter of your current breast as well as the skin laxity and parenchymal distribution.
Do not feel limited by what one surgeon had recommended. Seek other opinions and review photos online to get an idea. There are many websites that catergorize patientls by their height, weight, preop breast size and breast implants. Review these photos to get an idea of the results you desire.
