Breast Revision on Petite Frame to Go Larger, Is 500cc A Good Size? (photo)

Even more important than the volume of your implants is the width, or diameter.  Your nipples are lateralized, ribs facing forward, slightly depressed lower sternum, very lean build.  500 cc high profile gel probably OK, will be a D or DD cup.  Expect implant edge visibility and/or palpability.  Inner (medial) edge of implants should come closer to your midline than current implants to decrease inter mammary distance to about one inch.

Hello Angelmomma,

You can't fill out sagging breast skin with breast implants. If you look at your appearance now with 300 cc, you already have too much implant above the nipple.  Switching to a larger implant, regardless of profile, will make matters worse, not better.  Furthermore, I will argue that your current 300 cc implants, which appear contracted by the way, are just about the limit that your body's anatomy would dictate.  Switching to larger implants would require lifting your very thin tissues off of your ribs and sternum, and it would be the only covering for these implants.  This puts you at risk for severe rippling, unpredictable tissue stetch, and the double bubble phenomenon. If you want to improve the aesthetics of your breasts, you will need to have a breast lift.

Best of luck!

Thank you for the question and pictures.

Recommending a specific breast implant size (for example 500 mL) is really not possible without more information. For example, I would want to learn more about your goals,  preferably with the use of “goal” pictures. Direct examination and assessment of  your tissues  will be important.

Remember, the key to your ultimate satisfaction with the results of the breast surgery will be clear communication with your surgeon;  words such as “startling and stunning” may been different things to different people.

Best wishes.
