Hello alll! My plastic surgeon wants to place 330CC implants in me for my "Mommy make over" I have attached a pic. My worry is that they will be too big, she also wants to reduce one and then place the same size in both breasts. My question is: Is this a good practice? And will this make me too big? I dont want to look like I had plastic surgery
Answer: Too Big Of course I cannot give you a definitive suggestion without an exam and personal discussion, BUT, yes, too big. 330 cc's without a lift will just make you look heavy and matronly and simply not good. I suggest a full mastopexy (lift) with about 250 cc implants to achieve that upper pole fullness that we all like. We never do a lift unless we absolutely have to but with your nipples at the bottom of your breast there are no other options.

Answer: Momm I appreciate your question. The size of implant is dictated by your chest wall measurements. Once we determine that we can choose the profile based on what you want or need to achieve. Silicone will give you a fullness at the top (upper pole fullness). Silicone implants come pre-filled with a silicone gel and are the softest implant available. They feel more natural, which makes them a good option for women with less natural breast tissue; but they require a larger incision. It may be more difficult to realize if this type of implant has ruptured, so it is important to monitor them with annual follow-up visits. Additionally, because this implant contains a more liquid silicone (less cross-linked), if this implant should rupture, it will leak only into the scar capsule formed around the implant but may cause some discomfort or implant distortion. Anatomic gummy bear implants might be a good choice to give you volume. These highly-sought-after, anatomic implants offer a look that more closely resembles the natural silhouette of a breast, and, therefore, are a very attractive option for individuals seeking a natural-looking, aesthetic primary breast augmentation. Additionally, these implants are an especially excellent option for patients undergoing restorative or corrective breast surgery because they provide more stability, shape, and reduced incidence of capsular contracture. Compared to other types of silicone gel implants, the silicone in the cohesive gel implant is more cross-linked; therefore, should the implant shell “rupture,” it maintains its shape and silicone does not leak. During your breast augmentation consultation, you should feel the different types of implants available, and try on various implant sizers in front of a mirror to help you to get an idea of how you will look following the surgery. You should also bring pictures of the look you would like to achieve, as well as a favorite top to wear when trying on implant sizers. The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam. Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative breast surgery. Best of luck!

Answer: First Question: What Do YOU Want? Your PS might have suggested a good plan for you, IF that accomplishes what you desire to achieve. Do you want to be a full cup size bigger? 330 cc implants will make you at least a cup size bigger on average. There is asymmetry of the breasts with a larger, more ptotic (droopy) left breast, and the areolas appear enlarged on both sides. I would take these concerns back to your PS, and discuss your goals, and make sure that your goals are aligned with your doctor's goals.

Answer: My plastic surgeon wants to place 330cc implants, is this too big? Thank you for sharing your question and photograph. I would further discuss sizing desires with your surgeon to review your goal result and to make sure the appropriate treatment is being made. Based on your photo alone you would most benefit from a breast lift as you appear to have sufficient natural breast volume. Hope this helps.
