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: Breast Implant Sizing It appears that you and your surgeon need to discuss things further. Sizing is a complicated process that should involve measurements, photos and sizing on you. Just going off of photos alone will typically disappoint one of you.I would recommend you discuss this again with your surgeon and get sized so you understand what that particular size looks on you. Also going with such larger implant size you would want to know if the measurement of your body can handle that size of an implant. From a height and weight standpoint I would say yes, but there is a lot more involved here. One of the most common revision breast procedures is for size change. This really doesnt have to be as long as you are both on the same page.Hope that helps.

Answer: Breast Implants / Breast Augmentation Surgery / Breast Enlargement -- Implant Location, Incision Location, Silicone Gel Breast I You need a formal evaluation by a licensed plastic surgeon and expert in breast augmentations to determine what is best for you and your goals.Proper breast enlargement is not a "cookie-cutter" procedure where the same technique is applied to every patient. Every woman who comes to my practice has unique needs and different goals for her breast augmentation. As a board-certified plastic surgeon, I always listen carefully to each woman's concerns and thoroughly discuss the key points of the procedure. I also take into account their overall height and weight, the size and shape of the underlying chest and ribcage, the tightness and elasticity of the skin, and the amount of natural breast tissue. Prior to the procedure, we discuss and make decisions regarding location of the incision, whether to place the implant under or over the chest muscle, and what type of implant to use (I offer multiple types of silicone gel breast implants, as well as saline implants).

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
