I am 5'8, 150 lbs, do you think 575cc implants will be to big for me? (photos)

Based on your photos, it appears as though you have a great deficiency in the upper pole of your breasts. It also looks like more than a few years have elapsed since your original "anchor" surgery. Personally, I like adding volume by way of an implant insertion when I perform my breast lifts. I feel that the eventual result gives a fuller more pleasing contour to the breast. That being said, throughout my 29 years of private practice, I have performed many breasts lifts without an implant insertion at the time. It seems to me that a 575cc implant is on the larger side. Remember that everything that goes up eventaully must come down and the bigger the implant the stronger the supporting tissues must be in order to keep it in place. Your breasts contain stretch marks and therefore I would caution you against placing too big of an implant.Although sizers can give a patient a fair-good representation of what they might look like post-op, it is simply that.... a representation. Without having the benefit of examining you and evaluating skin and soft tissue, texture, elasticity and taking measurements,it's very difficult to come up with a concrete answer as to what size will best suit you. I wish you the best.

In my own practice we keep silicone gel
implants of all sizes available for patients to try on in a testing
bra. This is not a perfect teaching tool because under the muscle
implants tend to lose some projection, but because my patients look it actual
implants on their frame I find it the most helpful.

I encourage my patients to bring a friend or
friends for a second or third opinion, and to bring a few different shirts.

I suggest as you look at implants you think
about the relationship between the width of the breast and the width of the
shoulders and hips. Two wide will make you look top heavy, too narrow
will make the breasts look like torpedoes. I personally like to see the outer
curve the breast have balance with the curve of the hip.

Once we hone in on the right diameter we then
look at the projection of the breast which changes the cup size. At the
correct diameter we can use a high moderate or low profile implant depending
upon the patients goals.

Depending upon the starting
situation, and the degree of droop we adjust accordingly

Dear Suzi,   Thanks for submitting your pictures. It is difficult to give you an appropriate answer without having the circumference measurements of your chest and breasts. From your pictures it appears that you are a B cup. Let's assume that you are a 34 B cup. A 575 cc implant will increase your cup size by almost 4 sizes, which means that you will end up with 34 DDD.  If you are 36 B cup you will end up with 36 DD+. Is that what you had in mind ?  For me it is excessive. A 34 D or  36 D looks to me more appropriate considering your body shape and structure.  To acheive that size you will need 300cc or 350 cc implants respectively. Always, consult with board certified plastic surgeons and check the before and after pictures to make sure that you like the results.                    Best of luck,                                        Dr Widder
