I had my very first consultation yesterday, and I was extremely surprised by the size of implants I tried on. I am actually worried that they are too large, will feel too heavy, and end up sagging due to size and needing replaced sooner than I'd hoped. I did love the look though. You can see I am not especially thin, and they seem in proportion with my body, but I'd love some opinions on such large implants even though I am a larger framed woman. (6' 195-200lbs)
Answer: 800cc too large? A number of factors must be considered when selecting the best implant for a given patient. These include the amount of breast tissue and fat coverage, the elasticity of the skin, the width of the breast and the chest wall to name a few. Of course the desired look the patient is seeking is the most important. From your photos , you appear to have significant breast tissue and a wide chest which would allow placement of large implants. I do not find that implants placed in a bra correlate particularly well with how the implants will look in the breasts. With pictures of your desired result, your surgeon should be able to select the correct implant.

Answer: I'm 6' 195lbs and selected 800cc, will they be too large and eventually sag? (Photos) Tall women with larger frames and broader chest, shoulders, and hips can often handle larger implants that would make smaller women's chests look overcrowded and heavier. Large implants on shorter patients with breast asymmetry will accentuate that issue as well. In addition, choosing an implant based on an aesthetic goal that exceeds your anatomic capacity may lead to complications and possibly revision. When the implant cannot be camouflaged under natural breast tissue, the implant is too big. Implants of 600cc and higher will create more tissue thinning over time, have more potential for rippling, more potential for bottoming out, greater likelihood of breast lift revisions, etc. I would recommend that you go with the size that boosts your self-esteem, and fits your anatomy.

Answer: 800 cc? There are volume limits based on anatomy. There is only so much size that a breast envelope can accommodate. Occasionally, in cases where patients are seeking very large volumes, staged expansion may be employed or serial augmentation to gradually develop more space.

Answer: Larger breast implants too large and eventually sag? Thank you for the question and pictures. Based on your photographs, I think that you are starting at a good place and should have a very nice outcome with breast augmentation surgery. I also think that your goal photographs are realistic understanding of course that goal photographs are communication tools not guarantees of exact outcome.It is not necessarily that larger implants are more problematic; it is that the use of a breast implant that is TOO large for a patient's frame can be problematic.
