I recently had my breasts done and my doctor was amazing. Should I go bigger, like Christy Mack?

Question

I am 5'3 and 110 lbs and currently at 400-450 ccs saline implants (right breast is 400, left breast is 450) I breast fed years ago and i still feel like my breast could handle more volume. I know ill eventually go bigger but as a serious question, by looking at Christy Macks boobs, could you guess about how many ccs they are? (silly question, I know) I know hers are silicone and quite large but id like to know the size it is.

Without photos- impossible to tell. Best to go back to your surgeon, be examined--- he will outline a specific treatment plan for you.

Thank you for your
question.I can't answer that specifically. I don't know.  Just be aware that large breast implants have higher complications and tissue thinning in the long run. They may look great to you for about 4-5 years but time and gravity will take its toll.  Be careful going too big.

To discuss if you can go much bigger, see
two or more board-certified plastic surgeons in your area for a full and
complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe
for you to have surgery.

I hope this helps. Best wishes.

The size implants you have are large for your frame, at least in relation to my practice. It is important to consider many factors when choosing breast implant size, especially the possible adverse effects. Implants that are too large can cause problems, including, but not limited to, implant displacement, synmastia (unibreast), breast tissue thinning, implant visibility, and back/shoulder pain. There is no hard and fast rule about how large is too large, but I would be very cautious about getting larger implants for the sole reason that your "breasts could handle more volume". In my practice I have seen a number of patients that wanted to "downsize" for one or more of the aforementioned reasons. Hope this helps.Disclaimer: The most accurate medical advice requires a complete history and physical with a personal consultation.

Your current implants are large, especially for your frame.  I would suggest listening to your plastic surgeon about what size is best for you.  Hopefully you will do well with the size you have, but your tissue may not support a larger, heavier implant. Remember, you are not Christy Mack.
