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: Implant selection More information or an exam is needed to help determine a recommended implant for you. In addition to a discussion of your goals, measurements of your breasts are taken during a consultation. Volume is one consideration, but others include type, profile, and shape. If you are happy with how your breasts look now but just want them larger, then you may be able to avoid a lift. I've included a video on implant selection that I hope you find helpful.

Answer: Size Measurements and an examination is needed to be certain, but just based on your photos, 600 cc's will be too large and heavy for your frame and tissue. Going with large heavy implants, your skin will stretch more and your breasts will sag. If a lift is needed, just getting larger implants does not work long term.

Answer: Breast Implant Selection Hello, my name is Dr. Burko and I am a Plastic Surgeon at SY Aesthetics in New York City. Breast implant selection is a highly individualized process based on each patient's breast/chest wall anatomy. Typically, the surgeon will measure your breast width and discuss your implant options based on your aesthetic goals. The appearance of each implant will then vary based on volume and implant profile. I find it helpful for patient's to bring in multiple photographs of their desired breast appearance. My recommendation is for you to discuss your questions and concerns with your plastic surgeon so that the surgery is best tailored to your wishes.

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.
