I'm looking to upgrade my breasts to 2500cc. Would you recommend that? What's it like having that size breasts?

Hi there,With no photos it can be difficult to asses your needs. I would recommend for you to follow up with your board-certified plastic surgeon and address your concerns with your current breast implant size. Best of luck!

Although I do have a significant experience with larger breast implants, most patients are not able to "accommodate" 2500 cc breast implants safely.   Some general thoughts may be helpful to you:It is not necessarily that larger implants are more problematic;  it is that the use of a breast implant that is TOO  large for a patient's frame can be problematic.  
Generally speaking, every patient undergoing breast augmentation surgery should understand that their anatomic starting point will limit the outcome of breast augmentation surgery.    In other words, a patient's starting anatomy will limit how large of a breast implant can be utilized safely. The use of a larger breast implant (than what is safely "allowed" by the patient's anatomy) can be problematic;  potential problems include breast implant displacement/malpostion issues ( such as bottoming out, lateral displacement, symmastia...)  and/or significant breast implant rippling/palpability.
 
Generally speaking, the best online advice I can give to ladies who are considering breast augmentation surgery ( regarding breast implant size/profile selection) is:
1. Concentrate on choosing your plastic surgeon carefully. Concentrate on appropriate training, certification, and the ability of the plastic surgeon to achieve the results you are looking for. Ask to see lots of examples of his/her work.
2. Have a full discussion and communication regarding your desired goals with your plastic surgeon. This communication will be critical in determining breast implant size/type/profile will most likely help achieve your goals.  In my practice, the use of photographs of “goal” pictures (and breasts that are too big or too small) is very helpful. For example, I have found that the use of know words such as “extra large” or "DD or DDD cup” etc means different things to different people and therefore prove unhelpful. Also, as you know, cup size varies depending on him who makes the bra; therefore, discussing desired cup size may also be inaccurate. Again, the use of computer imaging has been very helpful during the communication process, in our practice.
3. Once you feel you have communicated your goals clearly, allow your plastic surgeon to use his/her years of experience/judgment to choose the breast implant size/profile that will best meet your goals. Again, in my practice, this decision is usually made during surgery, after the use of temporary intraoperative sizers.
I hope this helps. Best wishes for an outcome that you will be very pleased with.

Your surgeon will be the one to have the most accurate advice, as he/she knows your condition best. Schedule an appointment with your surgeon for an in-person examination.

We don't usually tend to recommend a 2500cc implants to patients. 2500cc weighs around 5k liters which is a big weight to be carrying around and can cause severe back and neck pain which will affect your posture. Your breast tissue is also likely to be extremely stretched which will distort your breast shape and in the majority of cases patients are unable to even accommodate such a large implant safely.
