Hello! I am undergoing breast augmentation in January and I would like to go 800 cc's saline. I am 6'0, 175 and I don't think it'd look super unnatural. What's your opinion? Is it safe to go that size?

Answer: 800 cc opinion? This is a very big size and comes with big risks which you need to discuss at length with your plastic surgeon. Chronic pain, fake look, stuck on look, rippling, thinning of the breasts and other complications are known to occur more often with bigger breast implants. You should have measurements done of your breasts to see if 800 cc will even fit.

Answer: #plasticsurgery #breastimplants #augmentation Thanks for your question. Since there is no way to say definitively over the internet which size would be optimal for you, take comfort in the fact that the surgeon uses your unique measurements and is able to provide you with a general range. In many cases the board certified plastic surgeon can best be your guide as they’ve met with you in person and heard your aesthetic goals. You may consider doing 3-D imaging; however with nearly all the breast cases we’ve performed, we’ve found patients enjoy doing a live “try on” session where they actually can “try on” the implant in a non-padded bra in our office. This does not give an exact measurement of outcome, rather it gives a nice idea of what to expect. For patients who desire a more natural look we like to recommend the shaped implant. For patients who desire a more full, voluptuous look we recommend a higher profile implant (like Inspira). Remember that all breasts have at least some amount of asymmetry (we like to say they’re like sisters and not twins). An in-person consult is the best way to discuss your questions. Be sure to find a surgeon with the following credentials: *Board Certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery -- The gold star symbol *A member of the ASPS (American Society of Plastic Surgeons) -- The circle symbol *A member of the ASAPS (American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons) -- the Queen Nefertitti symbol with a Triangle.
