34A/B and 450 cc HP implants - what size will I likely be?

Question

I recently saw my surgeon and my BA is due on Valentines Day (best gift to myself ) so :) my current size 34 A/B. im 5'6 and weigh about 10 st . He offered me anything from 300cc to 450cc ... I chose the largest one (boob greed) he said there is no way he'd give me more than that (why is that??) What size will i likely be afterwards ? Thank you !!

Hello, it is not possible to second guess your surgeon's advice without a proper examination, but possibly they feel that implants larger than 450cc are too big or they simply won't fit within the breast pocket.  There are limitations to how much the tissue will stretch.

Reza Momeni, MD, FACS · Answer

Choosing breast implants is a detailed process that requires an in-person examination and trying out sizers to see which you like better.  it cannot be done on the internet if you expect actually good results.  Be sure to discuss with your board certified plastic surgeon exactly what your goals are, and how reliably they can be expected to be achieved.

Dear Monica,   Front and side view pictures would have been very helpful. If  indeed you are 34 small B cup size,  450 cc implants will bring you to 34 full D cup size.   In my practice, I measure myself the chest and breasts circumference in inches, to obtain the true bra size. I have noticed in my over 29 years of practice, that women tend to over estimate their breasts size, because Victoria secrets make the bra size smaller, so women feel better about their breasts size. If in reality, you are true 34 A cup size or small A cup size, than 450 cc will bring you only to 34 full C cup (very nice and natural size - most popular in my practice).   I can't answer, why your surgeon does not feel comfortable with bigger implants for you. It is not unusual for me to use implants that are bigger than 450 cc on patients with chest circumference of 34 inches.   If you are not satisfied with the recommended implants' size, consult with other experience board certified plastic surgeons who operate in accredited surgery center for your safety. Most importantly, check the before and after pictures in the photo gallery, to make sure that they are numerous, consistent and attractive with nice cleavage, perky, symmetrical , large size and natural looking.                   Best of luck,                                       Dr Widder

These are all questions to discuss with your surgeon who has examined you. You should feel completely free to ask as many questions as you have before proceeding with surgery so you are comfortable with your decisions. Trust your surgeon. If you don't, then you should seek a new one. Best of luck.

Hello and thank you for your question.  The
best advice you can receive is from an in-person consultation.   The size,
profile, and shape of the implant is based on your desired breast
size/shape, your chest wall measurements, and soft tissue quality. 
This decision should be based on a detailed discussion with
equal input from both you and your surgeon.   Make sure you
specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have
had this surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate their
results.   Best wishes and good luck.
