Does current breast size make a difference in how big an implant will look? Also, how much tissue is removed during lift?

Asked By:momsandboobs in Chicago, IL

Hi doctors, I hope all is well. I know I should ask my PS about this, but it’s the weekend so I can’t and my surgery is in 8 days. I’m getting an anchor lift with Mentor HP Xtra implants in 535cc (12.7 cm diameter). I’m 28, 5’5, 132 lbs with 32DD saggy/deflated boobs thanks to nursing 2 kids. My BWD is 14 cm. Will the 535ccs be too narrow? The nurse said they won’t since I have 1-2 cm of my own breast tissue to add but this confuses me because some breast tissue will be removed during my lift..
