Hello, I am scheduled for a BA next month and obsessing over the size I’ve been recommended. I have had 2 consultations and both Doctors said I am on the cusp of needing a lift but I have quite a bit of breast tissue. I am 5’6 and 130lbs. I have seen mixed reviews but if I went 550-600cc’s do you think that would increase my size to the extreme of looking abnormal? I’ve always had larger breasts, I’d just like the fullness back.

Answer: Smaller implants If you are already borderline of needing a lift then adding 600 cc implants, which weigh over 1 lb each, will definitely cause more descent. If you are size 32 or 34, each 100 cc of implant corresponds to 1 cup size change. If you are size 36 or 38, each 200 cc of implant corresponds to 1 cup size change. From your photographs, you look like a C, so I do not believe you need 600 cc implants.

Answer: Choosing the right size and profile breast implants for you. Lift initially not needed. After I measure and discuss goals with my patients, we then look at pictures of women (my patients) with similar measurements with different size and style breast implants. They also get to see what they would look like when the breasts have fully dropped and fluffed and in clothes. You get to see actual results and the surgeon's experience and not a virtual idea of what can be achieved. Women tell me that this process is very helpful in determining what size and style breast implant is right for them. Mildly Sagging Breasts: If your breasts are mildly droopy, a saline or silicone gel implant placed behind the pectoral muscle might help create the illusion of perkiness. That’s because as the implant fills out the top of the breast, it also fills out the bottom, making it look as if the nipple has moved higher. It hasn’t. You can always get a lift later if you feel you are not perky enough when fully settled and healed. Dr. Ted Eisenberg, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author.
