Can I have 550-600cc breast augmentation for a tall woman? Stats and history included for answer (Photo)

Question

Can I have 550 - 600cc for breast Augmentation? based on my stats and history. Achieve D or small DD cup size. Stats: Age 31 510' 145 38 -27 - 34A/small History: One child 4 years ago. Breastfed for one more. After pregnancy and breastfeeding no stretch marks, no sagging breast, body and skin return back to normal. My skin is thick or normal, not thin skin, based on pregnancy and breastfeeding didn't change my skin texture and tone. My skin bounced back to pre pregnancy condition.

At
size 34 A each 100 cc’s of implant corresponds to 1 cup size change.300 cc implants would take you to size
D.I recommend a new technique called
Breast Augmentation with Mini Ultimate Breast Lift&trade;.Using only a circumareola incision it is
possible to reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness, elevate
them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage.Aligning the areola, breast tissue and
implant over the bony prominence of the chest wall maximizes anterior
projection with a minimal size implant.Small round textured silicone gel implants placed retro-pectoral look
and feel more natural, are more stable, less likely to ripple or have
complications needing revision.Implant
profile is irrelevant in the retro-pectoral position since the muscle compresses
it.Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Based on your photos you are a great candidate for breast augmentation. I do not see an issue with placing a 550-600cc implant however it may not meet your goals. You should consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options - I recommend brining with you your "wish photos"

Thank you for the pictures. I think that you can have a very nice commentation with a 550 to 600 mL implant. Your frame should be able to carry that well. I do not think those implants will give you the desired result that you're seeking. It will give you a very nice result that is specifically for you.

Frank J. Ferraro, MD · Answer

Thank you for submitting your pictures and questions. When deciding on size I ask my patients to outline their goals. Key measurements are base width and the condition of the skin. Once a cup size is determined I use sizers to assist me with the final decision on implant size. The silicone implant must fir the pocket appropriately.

Based on the information you provided, a 550-600cc implant may be possible but may not be appropriate to meet your goals. . Large implants can certainly create large breasts, but  smaller implants may give you a better figure. Only an evaluation by your plastic surgeon would answer your question.

Brian K. Brzowski, MD, FACS · Answer

It requires a full
evaluation to know what will look good and give a lasting improvement in
volume.  There are a lot of measurements and portions of the examination
that go into making a precise recommendation on final implant volume.

As always, you need a
Board Certified Plastic Surgeon who is experienced in breast augmentation to
help you look at realistic options for increasing your volume.  It may not
be possible to achieve the size that you desire without significant negative
effects on your body.

With a thorough exam and measurements, your
Plastic Surgeon will have a much better idea of what volume of implant to
suggest.  Remember a size 6 foot rarely works well in a size 2 shoe.

Hi MsMaria,Thank you for submitting your question.  You are correct in noting that your height, not just the base width of your breasts, comes into play in selecting an implant.  Your surgeon will help select an implant based on your measurements and tissue characteristics.  We have an implant sizing system which fits in your bra, allowing you to see what different sizes might look like-- many plastic surgery offices offer this, you might try to find one and get a second opinion.  Another helpful modality in choosing implant sizes is to find an office near you which offers the Vectra XT, which is a 3D imaging system that can simulate your result with a variety of implant sizes and profiles, either in clothing or without.Without examining you, it is hard to comment on whether a 550 or 600 cc implant will "fit".  Rather than choosing the largest implant possible, it might be better to consider a slightly smaller implant that would give you a better result over the long term (less likely to sag, less stress on the overlying skin envelope).  I think a 450-500 cc implant might be a better match to your breast base width.  You have a very nice shape now, and your goal size implants are going to sag considerably over time.  Hope this helps!Best wishes on your upcoming surgery!--Erik Hoy, M.D.

Dear msmariala,Breast augmentation is an excellent way to enhance the shape and fullness of your breasts.Your photos suggest that you may be an excellent candidate for breast augmentation.Choosing the size of your implants depends on a number of factors including the quality of your tissues, your body habitus, and your desired size and look.As others have echoed, it's important to communicate your desired outcome and to choose a size that is appropriate for the size, shape, and elasticity of your natural breast tissues and frame.Be cautious of choosing overly large implants, as the results will tend to look unnatural or "fake" (although some patients desire this type of look) and, more importantly, there are increased long term risks of complications including bottoming out, rippling, and sagging as overly large implants can cause thinning and stretching of your natural tissues.Please see an experienced, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon for an evaluation.Warmest wishes,Larry Fan, MD

Hi, Please go to a PS so you can find out what your breast width is. this is the primary indicator of how big you can go. you also have to bear in mind that going for the completely artificial look, comes with the risk of complications like rippling, early sagging and the need for revision surgery, hope this helps, warm regards Dr Prashantps: do keep us posted of how it goes for you

Joseph B. Eby, MD, FACS · Answer

Placing 550 or 600 cc implants in an A cup is possible.  However, there are several aspects of placing large implants in a small breast that should be evaluated and discussed prior to surgery. Aspects such as possible 3-D imaging and implant sizing in the office that will give you a much better idea what different volumes would appear like on your frame. Placing a large implant in a small breast will also stretch the nipple/areola as well as the breast which may reveal stretch marks and will enlarge the size of the areola. I would seek out consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your breast configuration, measurements and discuss all aspects of breast augmentation before settling on a size. Best of luck
