A competent plastic surgeon will usually take measurements of your breasts. With this data he or she can then determine the maximum size implant that your body can handle. Sometimes this is not as big as a woman desires, But following anatomic guidelines helps minimize complications.
This depends on your natural body measurements, including breast width and height. After taking these measurements and discussing your expectations with your experienced board certified plastic surgeon, you can then proceed to figure out what size would be best. There are no limitations on size, however please note that settling of your implants after surgery can take longer with larger implants.
Hi Anna1778 - The size of implants that is your maximum really depends on the dimensions of your breasts now. If you go any wider than your current breasts, you may be able to feel the implants pushing up against your arms on the sides. If you have sagging breasts, you may need a lift as well and this can be done at the same time as an augmentation. For the size of implants, take several samples and place them in your bra to determine a rough size that you like. You can also bring in photos of breasts that you like to give your plastic surgeon a good idea of your aesthetic goals. Good luck!
There are consequences to larger implants and before you consider "bigger" you should consider ":appropriate" or "desireable." Larger implants have greater tendency for loss of nipple sensation, rippling, tissue attenuation with recurrent ptosis (sag), implant extrusion, etc,Currently the largest implants available "off the shelf" max out at 900cc. It is rare that someone could accomodate that on their first augmentation.
