Would the 590cc fit in my original breast pocket and will they look too large for my frame?

Question

450cc High profile or 590cc UHP for swap and replace. I have a BWD of 12.5cm & currently have Mentor round 375 mod+ under the muscle. I would like to go up in size & profile, to motiva round implants either high profile of ultra high profile. The 450cc high profile should fit in my current breast pocket, however the UHP in Motiva increase quite drastically to 590cc. Would the 590cc fit in my original breast pocket? Will they look too large for my frame & would the outline of the implant be visible? What issues could i face going too large?

Good morning,
It really depends on what you're looking to achieve, and the best way to determine how much of an increase you need is to try on the implant sizers over your current implants. Going up to 450cc is going to be a teeny tiny increase- it usually takes a full 100cc to see a difference, and 200cc to see a cup size increase. You could also consider the Mentor XHP in 490cc or 535cc. Patients really love them!

Dear my_nismo,
breast implant type and sizing selection is a complicated process and requires a detailed consultation that includes a discussion of your goals, a detailed examination, and a lengthy discussion. But the decision will always start and end with the patient. When it comes to sizing, we have all of our patients find 3 photos of their desired breast size. We ask for naked breast photos because clothing can obscure the true size (push up bras). Next, we consult with patients and go over the photos and take detailed breast measurements during a physical exam. Next, we using a sizing algorithm to determine a range of implants that will work based on the exam and the measurements.Lastly, during the operation, we use silicone sizers in the operating room to see how the size actually looks in the breast. We sit the patient up in the operating room, while asleep of course, and compare the sizer result with their desired look photos. If it is too small, we start the process over with a slightly larger implant. We don't stop until we get the perfect match.Of all of my breast augmentation patients, every one of them has been happy with their size due to this detailed and meticulous process. You don't want to invest time and money into a result that is either too big or too small.You should discuss your concerns with a board-certified plastic surgeon and make sure that your surgeon understands your goals.
