I had my BA about 5 years ago. 500cc under muscle, saline. I am 5'10" and 165lbs, athletic build. Prior to my first surgery I wore a 36B and I am currently wearing a 36D. I am thinking about going bigger to 700cc, as the 500cc just did not get me the volume I was looking for. I know a lot of doctors think that 700cc is too big any advice for my frame?

Answer: Large Volume Implants Whether an implant is too large for you is a question you need to discuss with your operating surgeon. You should have a discussion not only about size but about the long term consequences of large implants. 700 cc is very large by any scale. Over time implants this large will cause your tissue and skin to stretch resulting in sagging and dropping of the implant. How long it takes for this to happen depends on many factors including your skin and tissue quality as well as the type of implant. You will almost certainly need a breast lift at some point in the future with implants that size. If you understand and accept these consequences than the decision to go ahead with implants that size is something you need to decide for yourself in consultation with your surgeon. Given that you already have 500 cc, the additional 200 cc is not a HUGE change, but it is still a large implant overall.

Answer: Implant size That size does seem a bit large for most people’s frame. That being said, if your goal size is near that than you have to accept the eventual stretch of the tissues that will occur with such large implants
