Are implants 485 - 520cc's a poor decision?

Hello, thank you for your question. Usually the implant size is not based on how many ccs there are in the implant, but rather the measurements of the chest wall. As you have mentioned you have wide shoulders and chest and typically the larger sizes end up looking very pleasing on that body frame. I would bring in your wish pic photos to see if this is similar to the look you are going for. A 500cc implant can look massive on a petit frame but natural on a larger frame. Check out our before and afters and see the differences. Hope this helps . Thanks

Hi there, thanks for your question! In most instances your surgeon will base the "maximum" size implant you can have based on the width of your breasts. As implants go up in CC, the width of the implant also get wider, so I would reccomend that you consult with your plastic surgeon about the base width of your breasts compared to the implants you are considering to gauge a better idea of if they are too big for your frame or not. Best of luck!

Patients ask all the time what size they should receive for their augmentation, and the truth is that it is ultimately up to the aesthetic opinion of each individual patient. That being said, 300-450 cc is probably the "average" range and anything above or below that is slightly larger or smaller, respectively, which of course hinges on where you are starting from to begin with. So the ways to get a better understanding of what's right of you are to ask others who have had augmentation what size they had, do simulation, and - probably better than both of these - just put breast implant sizers in you bra and look in a mirror. At the end of the day after your augmentation it will be your decision whether the size you chose was best for you, and no one else is better to decide about your body than you.
