Difference Between 500-700 Cc?

Breast implant size is best determine with sizers from your plastic surgeon's office.  50cc will probably not make that much of a difference, so I would recommend going with the larger implants so that you're not kicking yourself afterward thinking that you should have gone larger.  750cc will greatly increase the size of your breasts, so make sure that this is the look that you're going for...good luck!

Getting 700+ cc implants will not likely look natural. It is not possible to do a better job of sizing you over the internet than it is by the plastic surgeon in his office.  If you have doubt, return to get resized.

As a general rule, each 200 cc implants produce one cup size increase.  If you are a small C then 200 cc implants would make you a small D, 400 cc implants would make you a small DD and 600 cc implants would make you a small DDD.  Comparing implants placed inside the bra is totally different than implants placed underneath the muscle.  What looks right inside the bra in the office is not necessarily what will look right in you.  Also, implants placed underneath the muscle, the pocket must be capable of handling such a large volume.  I doubt it would be possible for you to handle 700 cc implants. In my entire careet of approximately 20 years, I have never been able to put 700 cc implants in anyone on the first try.  This would most likely result in tearing the muscle.  Then the implant would not be underneath the muscle but through the muscle.  Also, implants that large descend over time because of the weight and will require you to have secondary surgeries in the future.

As already stated, anything over 500 cc is considered a large implant and will have certain problems based on size and weight.

that being said 500 will probably get you a more natural DD cup and 700 or 750 will be beyond that and will need to stretch your skin and muscle quite a bit.

 

Precisely and correctly answering your question about the most appropriate size for you is impossible without an examination. The parameters that you provide do not allow for making a specific determination. Despite what your plastic surgeon recommended for you, do not take that as correct or gospel. I have personally evaluated countless patients who were told that the best sizes for them were clearly in the "outrageous" and "deforming" range.

It does sound like the 700cc or larger would be far too big for you but again that's conjecture. Realize also that with such a large size, you will have rapid stretching of your skin and breasts with quick deterioration of results.

You should seek at least two or more additional consultations with reputable board certified plastic surgeons and then make a decision. 

Large implants like the ones you are suggesting may cause more problems for you than smaller ones.  They are heavy than the smaller ones and this the skin may not be able to tolerate them as well.

Getting the 700cc implant in should not be your goal for breast augmentation. Your surgeon should know what result you are looking for, how the result will really look, instead of 'picking a number'. I don't know Holly but if you have her picture, a good exam and sizers will get your surgeon off to a better start than having you decide on the 700cc and come what may. Is he experienced?

There is a correct implant for each person and 500 or 700 cc may be large for some and small for others. It really depends on your size. I have had patients your size with 500 cc implants that appear small and others that look large. You will need a full consultation to measure.

Both 500 cc and 700 cc breast implant sizes are considered to be on the large size.  The difference between them is not so great- less than a cup size.  What I think is more important when judging which one is best for you is the way they fit on your chest.  How does the width of the implants fit on your chest?  You don’t want them to end up in your underarms. You mentioned that you want a natural look, but going so large with a seemingly normal sized frame will be a giveaway.  Speak to your plastic surgeon again and have him show you before and after pictures of both sizes to help you make this decision.

It is impossible to tell you the difference between the two implants and how they will look on your body without an  exam. However, there are consequences with large implants including skin stretch, a progressive droop of your breasts, loss or atrophy of your existing breast tissue from pressure. Thus, the smaller the implant, the less negative effect on your tissues. Also, a 700 cc moderate plus implant (they do not make a 750 silicone) has a width of 15.8cm which is quite wide. Unless you have a very wide chest this can also negatively impact your appearance. 

Best of luck!
