My surgeon suggested 700cc ultra high profile silicone implants for me to achieve the look and desired attributes that I would like. I am nervous that they will be too big/look odd. I am 5'7 120 pounds with a long chest and torso Currently have 325cc silicone implants I woukd like more projection, cleavage and upper fullness, breasts closer together
Answer: Going Bigger Good morning!Proper implant selection is probably the single most important factor in having a breast revision. My approach is careful measurements of your chest, reviewing goal photos with you, and having you try on implant sizers in the office over your current implants. With this combination approach works well to help you decide what size will really allow you to reach your goals. If your surgeon does not have sizers in the office, which all surgeons who perform breast augmentation should have, then you may perform the rice test at home, which is described on this site as well as many other sites. There are very few places on the internet you can see real photos of real patients with large implants where the site actually tells you how many cc's the patient has. Because of this lack of information, I have created a page where you can view patients clinical and candid photos, from 600cc all the way up to 2500cc. I have attached a link to this XL Breast Augmentation revision photo gallery- hope it helps!

Answer: Increasing Breast Implant Size Additional elective cosmetic #surgery is a personal choice. As with all cosmetic surgery, results will be rewarding if expectations are realistic. If you do decide on a revision to #increase your implant size or choose a different implant, the #pocket will need adjusting and often a breast #lift is also be necessary to better #support the new implant. Additionally, a mesh for further support may be helpful depending on the #implant size and skin #elasticity. A different type or wider implants may also be an option if deemed a candidate.

Answer: Yes I think you are getting the trend of these answers. Yes, a 700 cc implant is too large for you. Implants of this size are generally used for breast reconstruction for a woman who has no breast tissue remaining. Even then, this would be an implant used for a woman of larger stature, not someone who is a lean 120 pounds.I must add that I much prefer a natural result. If you seek an obviously fake, porn star result, then 700 cc may be your choice.I believe you would be disappointed with this choice in the future. The resulting stretching may be difficult or impossible to correct if you changed your mind down the road.

Answer: Large implants I appreciate your question.Large implants can cause you a lot of problems long-term. Due to the size it probably won't stay up high and give you the cleavage you want Anatomic implants have more projection per size and might be a better choice.The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam.Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative breast surgery.best of luck!Dr Schwartz

Answer: Large High Profile Implants Are Always A Mistake In Under the Muscle Breast Augmentation Patients looking for a big and augmented appearing look are commonly very satisfied with conventional breast augmentation practices, however the sad truth is that those looking for a large and natural appearing augmentation are frequently disappointed. This is why I departed from the conventional "under the muscle" augmentation with round projecting implants long ago. I find the widely separated and abrupt appearance very dissatisfying and the muscular animation or "jumping" really disturbing. This is why I use a technique called "Cold-Subfascial Breast Augmentation" in my practice to deliver scarless and natural appearing full breasts with true cleavage and superior pole fullness. I also prefer lower profile anatomically shaped implants to create a naturally sloping form. The problem with a 700 cc HP implant under the muscle is that there is no support for the implant and the muscle has a lot of leverage to continue to push the implants down and out producing even worse of a low and separated appearance. Subfascial revision can support and shape the implant allowing you to go bigger and get true medial cleavage and superior pole fullness with support! I hope this helps!All the best,Rian A. Maercks M.D.
