Hello, I have lost over 150lbs. and went from a 44D to a 36 barely B cup. I had two consultations where both surgeons have recommended 500cc breast implants with a breast lift. I have a large round ribcage and I am 5'8". I would like to acheive a natural Angelina Jolie-type breast shape. Is 500cc to large?
Answer: Yes it is too large to do at the same time as a lift

Answer: Breast Implant Size This is not a question that can be answered easily. It really depends on what you bring forth to the surgery. It depends on your body and breast size and shape. 500 cc is a big implant but it may not be that big for you. In order to keep breasts looking natural you need to stay within your bodies size and diameter of your breasts and not go overly large for your body. It is hard to say if they will look natural or not without examining you.

Answer: Breast contouring after weight loss 500cc should be fine as long as you have a general idea of how this is going to look afterward. Look at pictures of women who have had 500cc implants and see if this is the look that you want. Further, you can place sample implants in your bra to get a general idea of how you're going to look afterward. A lift is also very commonly used with an implant after massive weight loss to help lift the areola. Only a small amount of lift is acheived with just an implant, so a lift is commonly used simultaneously. Most women who lose a lot of weight have significant drooping of the areolae and need a formal lift. Good luck!

Answer: Can 500cc implants look natural? Congratulation on the massive weight loss. As you experienced, there was significant volume loss from the breasts. This usually leaves a loose skin envelope, the skin tends to have a lot of stretch marks, it is thin with loss of elasticity. If this is the case, placing a 500cc implant will result in further stretching and sagging. Even if you have a lift at the same time, you van experience fairly early descent. Without the benefit of photos, I would suggest having a breast lift first, and have an augmentation about 6-12 months later. This way you will have potentially fewer reoperations, and more natural looking breasts. You need to discuss this with a plastic surgeon with experience in massive weight loss surgery.

Answer: 500 cc breast implant and rate of complications In general, this is a larger than average breast implant which may carry a higher risk of tissue attenuation as well as loss of nipple sensation and other complications.
