475cc high silicone implants too big? (photos)

You need to be examined. What's really important in determining what size implant would look good for you, is your base diameter measurement. This is the width of you breast at the nipple level. Other things like your skin elasticity, amount of breast tissue, thickness of your subcutaneous fat, the shape of your breasts, the position of the fold under your breasts, and many more facts have to be considered in choosing the right type of breast implant. The biggest dermining factor of results is the quality of the plastic surgeon you choose. 

Thank you for the good question. Size is large part of my discussion with my patients. Trying on sizers, imaging are all good ways to begin to understand size. View as many pictures as possible and look at results using a patient that has the same height and weight. I like to use sizers during surgery to determine best size.

I have a patient scheduled for high profile 475cc implants now, she is 5'9" and is a robust woman. Using a tight bra to try on implants and the Vectra imaging 3 dimensional system can help you visualize what you may look like.

Height does matter.  Try on sizers.  The way they look on you, and your perception of breast size is the only way to pick a volume.  Comparing to other patients does not work well. Looking at pictures does not help either.  See what they look like on your frame.

Thank you for your question, it is very easy to get overburdened and confused looking at different size implants online. Different size, profile implants will look very differently on different body types especially when their starting volume is not the same. It is best to have a particular location in mind, I have a consultation with board-certified plastic surgeon and preferably on the go 3-D breast imaging to simulate your results after surgery.

Without seeing you in person it is difficult to tell what might be the right size for you. You can do a baggy test with the volume suggested for you.  Good luck.

Hello and congratulations on your decision to have breast augmentation surgery. Many patients are thrilled with results and the excitement of "the new you". I'm pleased that you have great goal photos and that is the best way to start with your transformation. The key to success for you is not to concentrate on the specific implant size. You should focus on the "look " . Seek consultation with a BCPS who will examine you and measure your breast  chest wall , and skin compliance. I also uses sizers to give the patient a glimpse of their future appearance. The ideal range of breast implants can then be determined for you. Then the size can be a choice made by you and your surgeon. Good luck. To your health and to your beautyBest,Dr. Burnett 

Thank you for the question and pictures.  It is not, in my opinion, helpful to you to compare yourself directly with another young lady when it comes to goals/ outcome achieved with breast augmentation surgery.  The results achieved with the identical implants, utilized on different women, can be quite different.  There are many variables involved; all these variables matter. Generally speaking, the best online advice I can give to ladies who are considering breast augmentation surgery (regarding breast implant type/size/profile selection) is:
1. Concentrate on choosing your plastic surgeon carefully.  Concentrate on appropriate training, certification, and the ability of the plastic surgeon to achieve the results you are looking for. Ask to see lots of examples of his/her work.
2. Have a full discussion and communication regarding your desired goals  with your plastic surgeon. This communication will be critical in determining  breast implant size/type/profile will most likely help achieve your goals. 
In my practice, the use of photographs of “goal” pictures (and breasts that are too big or too small) is very helpful. I have found that the use of words such as  “natural” or "C or D cup" or "  too big” etc means different things to different people and therefore prove unhelpful.
 Also, as you know, cup size varies depending on him who makes the bra; therefore, discussing desired cup  size may also be inaccurate.
3.  Once you feel you have communicated your goals clearly,  allow your plastic surgeon to use his/her years of experience/judgment to choose the breast implant size/profile that will best meet your goals.  Again, in my practice, this decision is usually made during surgery ( after the use of temporary intraoperative sizers).
I hope this, and the attached link (dedicated to breast augmentation surgery concerns), helps.  Best wishes.
