I'm getting a breast lift with augmentation, curious if theirs a limit on how big I can go due to the extra (lift) procedure? I did the rice sizing at home and love 600ml (rice). Will this be possible with a lollipop or anchor incision? 5'2 155lbs 36b right now. I want projection & fullness (d/dd)
Answer: Size limit with an implant and lift Hello, thank you for your question. While you for sure can go a bit bigger, know that that is extra weight that your muscle and tissue have to support and if you desire a perky look eventually even with a lift and the best plastic surgeon your implants and natural breast tissue will drop. Its important to always wear a good supportive bra even when you sleep. Speak to your plastic surgeon about your options. Feel free to check out our before and after gallery.

Answer: Size The limitations of the size you can achieve is based upon your breast tissue and frame. For you, the 600 cc implants would be too large and heavy, stretch and thin your own tissue too much, and sag over time.

Answer: Implant size Dear fixmybewbies, breast implant type and sizing selection is a complicated process and requires a detailed consultation that includes a discussion of your goals, a detailed examination, and a lengthy discussion. But the decision will always start and end with the patient. When it comes to sizing, we have all of our patients find 3 photos of their desired breast size. We ask for naked breast photos because clothing can obscure the true size (push up bras). Next, we consult with patients and go over the photos and take detailed breast measurements during a physical exam. Next, we using a sizing algorithm to determine a range of implants that will work based on the exam and the measurements.Lastly, during the operation, we use silicone sizers in the operating room to see how the size actually looks in the breast. We sit the patient up in the operating room, while asleep of course, and compare the sizer result with their desired look photos. If it is too small, we start the process over with a slightly larger implant. We don't stop until we get the perfect match.Of all of my breast augmentation patients, every one of them has been happy with their size due to this detailed and meticulous process. You don't want to invest time and money into a result that is either too big or too small.You should discuss your concerns with a board-certified plastic surgeon and make sure that your surgeon understands your goals.

Answer: Choosing the right size and profile breast implants for you After I measure and discuss goals with my patients, we then look at pictures of women (my patients) with similar measurements with different size and style breast implants, and they choose what looks right for them. They also get to see what they would look like when the breasts have fully dropped and fluffed and in clothes. You get to see actual results and the surgeon's experience and not a virtual idea of what can be achieved. Women tell me that this process is very helpful in determining what size and style breast implant is right for them. Dr. Ted Eisenberg, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author.

Answer: When getting a lift, is there a size limit on implant? A breast lift tightens the skin whereas a breast augmentation expands the skin .It istherefore advisable to use smaller implants to avoid pressure on the skin flaps and potential loss of skin The alternative is to use an adjustable breast implant
