Is There a Limit on How Big of a Breast Implant Can I Go Before It Compromises Skin Elasticity?

Sizing breast implants is so tough. If an implant is too big them it causes permantvthinning of the breast tissue. The implant thus becomes more easy to see and feel. I am rigidly flexible and very conservative. I measure the width of the breast and stickbto it. If a patient wants to go bigger then I will go up one profile ( to midrange ). I think that high profile implants put too much pressure on the breast. It's all about the long term health of the breast.

Yes, any respectable surgeon will tell you that
there is a limit on how big you can go during a breast augmentation. Depending
on your skin elasticity in the region, the size of your implant will be
tailored to ensure that your results match your body and that the procedure is
as safe as possible. Your doctor will personalize your procedure so as to
produce results that line up as closely as possible with your goals while
maintaining a certain degree of practicality. This is something to be agreed on
together, in person. For a more accurate evaluation of what size is reasonable
for your possible breast augmentation, visit a board certified surgeon in your
area. 

There is no formula for predicting skin elasticity and it is remarkable how much volume the skin can accomodate. A AA cup in a 5 foot individual would likely handle a smaller implant than a 6 foot female. In general, implants are "fitted:" according to the base diameter and predicted skin elasticity. This can be crudely measured or estimated.
