I'm a 36 A, 5 5' tall 162 lb I had two consults one doctor said 750 cc saline and the other one 800 cc I'm scared about this implant size but both doctors said I'm big enough for it! I'm worried because I don't wanna look like a [RS bleep] star any suggestions I appreciate it thank you
Answer: 750 vs 800cc There is very minimal difference between the two dimensionally. For all practical purposes, if they are the same profile and manufacturer, they are the same clinically. I do a lot of VERY large implants and it can be amazing how well they fit some peoples frames. There is no way from here to know if this is "right" for you but given that two different surgeons made remarkably similar recommendations I suspect their judgment is sound.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Which would you recommend; 750 cc or 800 cc? Hi, without your photos , it's impossible to accurately assess your implant requirements. Suffice it to say that a 50cc difference is negligeable when you spek of implants that large. If i doubt, seek yet another opinion. Good luck, Dr. PG

Answer: BA sizes Hello dear, thanks for your post and provided information as well. The thing about size is...Did You Know? Implant size (measured by cubic centimeters, or “cc”) only matters as far as it will help you get the look you want. In these photos, can you guess who has the larger sized implants?What limits how big you should go?1. Your current breast size. This matters because you’ve got to have enough existing breast tissue to cover the implant. If you haven’t got a lot to spare, some implants may just be too big to fit.2. Your chest and shoulder width. Fortunately, implants come in different base widths so you can get a size that works well with your frame.I recommend to make an appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon for a person evaluation and to talk about your goals. Good luck :)

Answer: Which would you recommend; 750 cc or 800 cc? Hello! Thank you for your question. In general, implant size does not correlate with bra cup size. The cup size itself will vary from manufacturer to manufacturer as well as who is doing the actual measurements. Thus, cup size is never a reliable indicator for your breast size. I typically encourage my patients not to communicate her desires in cup size but more on the actual look and appearance. Good communication between you and your surgeon of your expectations is warranted - choosing your surgeon wisely is the first step. Discussion of your wishes and having an honest and open dialog of your procedure is mandatory (e.g, implant type, incision, placement, lift, etc). I have found that photographs brought by the patient is helpful to get a visualization of the appearance you wish for in terms of size, shape, fullness, etc. A preoperative sizing kit is helpful in my practice. In addition, your surgeon's pre and postoperative photographs should demonstrate a realistic goal for you. Once this has been accomplished, allow your surgeon to utilize his/her best medical judgment during the procedure to finesse the best possible result for you after preoperative biodimensional planning and fitting the right implant for your breast width. Those are very large implants, regardless, a 50cc difference will likely not make an appreciable difference for you. Hope that this helps! Best wishes for a wonderful result!

Answer: Sizing The best way to pick implant size is based on your breast and chest width and not the volume. As the implants get bigger, they get wider. When the width of the implant fits the width of your chest, it will look nice and fit your frame. If the implants are too small, you will have a gap between them and they may look too far apart. If they are too wide, they will make you look top heavy as they may be too wide and stick well out past the sides of your chest. There are ways to get a bigger or smaller look.This can be done by picking a different implant profile. The higher the profile, the narrower the base width of the implant. If someone has a very narrow chest and wants to be big, they should consider a higher profile implant. If someone has a broad chest and they do not want to be too big but want to avoid the gap and still have cleavage without projection, they should consider a lower profile implant such as a moderate. There are options in between these such as the moderate plus. I prefer the underarm approach so there is no scar on your breast. The new silicone is the only way to go as far a rippling as the new silicone ripples much less than saline, especially in the larger implants.

Answer: Which would you recommend; 750 cc or 800 cc? Thank you for your question. Though nothing replaces an in-person examination, a 50cc difference will not make a material difference in overall breast appearance following augmentation. My greater concern is your skin and chest muscles ability to carry this size implant and i would counsel you to see at least 3 board certified plastic surgeons in consultation before pursuing surgery.
