Hi, I had my consultation on Tuesday and my doctor recommended 505cc HP/560cc HP or maximum 610cc XHP implants. I have chosen 550cc HP today. I am 170 cm tall, 60 kg, my bra cup size is 80 C. Do you think I made the best choice? It will be located fully under muscles. Will it be too big for my shape? Thanks a lot for any comments and opinions.
Answer: I selected 560cc It is hard to give a definite answer your question. Many things should be considered when breast implants, such as breast width, the amount of breast tissue and body fat, elasticity of the the tissue, etc. The most important is how you want to look. We have the patient show us how they want their breasts to look using breast sizers during their consultation and trust us to provide the correct result.

Answer: Your Goals and Your Anatomy Depending on the individual anatomy and desired results, estimations and measurements should be made for each patient individually. The elements that form up the breast shape and size and the overall frame can be different in each person. It is best to consult a board certified plastic surgeon who is experienced in cosmetic breast surgery in person and discuss your goals and options after a physical examination.Hope this helps,Ali Rıza Öreroğlu, MD FEBOPRASEuropean and Turkish Board Certified Aesthetic, Plastic and Reconstructive SurgeonIstanbul, Turkey

Answer: Is 560 too big for me? It is impossible to answer your question based on the information provided. Many things must be considered when choosing the correct implant for a given patient. These include breast width, the amount of breast tissue and body fat, elasticity of the the tissues, to name just a few . The most important consideration is how you want your breast to look. In my opinion, only your surgeon has the knowledge and experience to make make the correct selection, and it should be their responsibility. In our practice , we have the patient show us how they want their breasts to look, and trust us to provide the correct result. This avoids much of the anxiety patients experience over this issue.

Answer: Too big? Patients often think in terms of cup size when considering augmentation. Unfortunately, devices are sized in terms of milliliters (cc) of volume. This can lead to some confusion when sizing. Additionally, it is important to remember that cup size itself is not standardized with variations from one manufacturer to another. Unfortunately, as many women can attest their cup size in an industry leader such as VS is not necessarily transferable to another brand. Another point which is often under appreciated is that of anatomy and starting point. Any implant will add volume to the volume which is already present. The implant is additive. A particular volume will not necessarily confer the same cup size to different patients (often times it will not even confer the same cup size to different breasts in the same individual...remember they are "sisters" not "twins"). A general rule of thumb is that 125cc can represent somewhere between 1/2 to a full cup size increase. Smaller volume differentials (25-50cc) are typically less consequential representing a volume change of less than a shot glass. However, I have found these numbers, at least anecdotally, to be of little help. Patients often present with notions/goals which do not correlate with these sorts of sterile volumetric assessments. When sizing patients, there are a number of useful tools including: -3D imaging (has the added benefit of offering a volumetric analysis of the pre-operative breast) -Breast sizers (rice bags) -Goal photos I also recommend that patients commit to a particular look rather than a cup size. Once a patient settles on a look that pleases them the overall cup size increase becomes less relevant.The key to obtaining a natural result is to stay within the parameters defined by your BWD. With regards to your specific question, "too big" is relative. As long as you have been accurately sized according to your unique BWD, you should be fine. Without measures, it is difficult to offer more concrete advice. As always, discuss your concerns with a board certified plastic surgeon (ABPS).

Answer: Breast Implants / Breast Augmentation Surgery / Breast Enlargement -- Implant Location, Incision Location, Silicone Gel Breast I You need a formal evaluation by a licensed plastic surgeon and expert in breast augmentations to determine what is best for you and your goals.Proper breast enlargement is not a "cookie-cutter" procedure where the same technique is applied to every patient. Every woman who comes to my practice has unique needs and different goals for her breast augmentation. As a board-certified plastic surgeon, I always listen carefully to each woman's concerns and thoroughly discuss the key points of the procedure. I also take into account their overall height and weight, the size and shape of the underlying chest and ribcage, the tightness and elasticity of the skin, and the amount of natural breast tissue. Prior to the procedure, we discuss and make decisions regarding location of the incision, whether to place the implant under or over the chest muscle, and what type of implant to use (I offer multiple types of silicone gel breast implants, as well as saline implants). My experience performing thousands of aesthetic breast surgeries in a wide anatomical range of patients enables me to achieve consistently beautiful and natural results that are customized to each patient’s body type and goals. These results are the product of extensive communication, meticulous planning, and skillfully executed surgery. I suggest consulting with a board-certified plastic surgeon and expert in Breast Augmentation surgeries. - Dr. Cohen
