I Currently Have 360cc Saline Implants, I Am Having my BA in 9 Days. My Doctor Recommended 500 or 500c? (photo)

   Going up 140 cc is not an reasonable amount.  I typically recommend going up at least 100 cc so that a difference is perceived by the patient after an upsizing.  Find a plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials who performs hundreds of breast augmentations and breast implant revisions each year.  Then look at the plastic surgeon's website before and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can deliver the results.  Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

I think that you will benefit from  additional time spent with your plastic surgeon. No online consultant  will be able to advise you as precisely as your own plastic surgeon can while you are standing in front of a full-length mirror. Demonstrate to your plastic surgeon what you would like to achieve and what you consider “too big” or “too small” with the help of goal pictures as well. Do not use cup size as a reference;  this form of  communication can be a source of confusion. The term " natural” can also mean different things to different people.

 Based on the limited information and picture you have posted, I would share your concern about 500 mL implants achieving a “natural” look;  again, make sure that you clarify your goals carefully prior to proceeding to the operating room.

 Best wishes.

The diameter of your "breast pocket"  (from edge of breast bone to the side of your chest) should match the "base diameter" of your implant of choice.Another consideration in the choice of implant size and type  is how much your skin/breast tissues can be stretched .  Added projection, resp. fullness can be achieved with increasing size to moderate profile or high profile.This all together should give you what we call  a "natural look".

As you can tell I did not mention any particular size or  particular implant as the right "size" is what looks finally the best for you. What you consider "natural" I cannot judge.

Therefore as suggested elsewhere go back to your surgeon and discuss and show him pictures what you "really" want.

The bigger the implants the heavier they are and your tissues have to "hold" the weight for the years to come.

Good luck!
