I am 5'8 and 140 pounds and I am having my breast augmentation in 2 weeks. I have decided on 460 implant filled to 550cc but am afraid I will be too big. My doctor says it fits my body frame but I have seen other woman with 550cc and theirs look huge. I am wondering if I am making the right decision on that size or if sizing down 50cc would even make a difference.

Answer: Undecided between 550 versus 500cc HP saline implants Thank you for posting a question. It can be difficult to narrow down the final choice of breast implants, but your surgeon will be the best source of advice. In order to make recommendations about sizing, a proper breast examination is necessary. The surgeon can then make suggestions based on your unique breast features like skin tone, tissue thickness, nipple position, presence of any sagging, and breast dimensions.

Answer: 550cc HP saline implants or 500cc? I am 5'8 and 140 pounds and I am having my breast augmentation in 2 weeks Sounds like you are having saline implants. The difference between 460 cc fill and 550 cc fill is that the implant gets narrower, more projected but firmer. In general saline implants feel heavier than silicones because of the physical property of water. They also feel firmer if they are filled to the max. So, you need to have this cleared prior to your surgery. Talk to your board certified plastic surgeon.

Answer: Size The implant selection should be based on a combination of your desired size, soft tissue dynamics, breast base diameter and skin elasticity. I recommend an in-office examination as well as a detailed discussion with a surgeon who you are comfortable with. Finally, make sure your surgeon is a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS).Best,Dr. DesaiBeverly Hills Institute for Aesthetic Plastic SurgeryHarvard Educated, Beverly Hills & Miami Beach TrainedDouble Board-Certified, Double Fellowship-Trained Beverly Hills Plastic Surgeon
