At a consultation, the doctor and I agreed on 430 cc (silicone) but I was curious to see what a bigger size would look like. He did not specifically say the size, just that it was one size bigger than the 430 cc & we both liked the way it looked but he told me that he would not do that size for me. Supposedly, he said that if I were to go a size bigger than the 430 cc, my body would not be able to handle it.

Answer: Going "Too Big" on Breast Implants This is a very important topic, and I have this same discussion with patients often. One one hand, as a surgeon we want to meet your size expectations, but the other and are the limits of what your tissues can safely accept.There is a limit to how much the skin, ligaments, and tissues of the breast can stretch and exceeding those limits can result in deformities that are very hard to correct. Two such deformities that can come from oversized breast implants are "double bubble" deformity and synmastia. These are difficult conditions to correct and can be quite a bit more expensive than the original augmentation.Breasts that have good skin elasticity, or have been larger in the past from weight gain, pregnancy, and breast feeding usually have some extra skin and can be made quite a bit larger than breasts that have always been very small.You will often hear doctors talking about choosing an implant that fits "within the dimensions of the breast." It is very important to work with your surgeon on this, and not base your didscssions soley on the "cc's."

Answer: Risks of "going one size bigger" with breast implants If you are referring to one size bigger meaning a cup size bigger, that would be a drastic change. One size bigger for implants in the you are discussing is usually only 25 cc or so and really doesn't make much of a difference. The most important thing is to discuss your concerns with your plastic surgeon prior to the surgery so that you can be sure you both understand the goals of the surgery. Good luck!

Answer: Risks of too large breast implants Thank you for your question. Risks of going with too large breast implants, which I consider over 500 cc, include an increased risk of capsular contraction or hardening of the breast implant, wound healing problems, and even the possibility of extrusion or loss of implant. Please consult a plastic surgeon who is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, experienced in breast surgery, and who has an excellent reputation in your community.

Answer: Implant size You must rely on your surgeon's advise. The silicone implants are heavy and to really see a significant differnce in the size of your breasts, one size larger may not be enough. I suspect your surgeon is experienced enough to advise you as to what is in your best interest.I wish you well !
