Loose skin from VSG. Was 400lb before. I have Marfan syndrome. When I look up 750cc implants online and see them on other women, they look huge to me but I need to remember I’m much taller and heavier than avg. I’m thinking subtracting 200cc from my search will be better. As in 550cc on the avg woman might look comparable to 750cc on me. Is this an accurate method? When I tried on the 750cc implants in the office, it wasn’t that big, but I still worry it wasn’t accurate depiction
Answer: Breast Implants Thank you for your question. Yes they would improve them. Breast implants are medical devices implanted under the breast tissue or chest muscle to increase breast size (augmentation) or to replace breast tissue that has been removed because of cancer or trauma, or that has failed to develop properly because of a severe breast abnormality (reconstruction). The FDA has approved implants for increasing breast size in women, for reconstruction after breast cancer surgery or trauma, and to correct developmental defects. Implants are also approved to correct or improve the result of a previous surgery. The FDA has approved two types of breast implants: saline-filled (salt water solution) and silicone gel-filled. Both have a silicone outer shell and vary in size, shell thickness, shell surface texture, and shape (contour).

Answer: Implants I would suggest going back to your surgeon and trying on sizes from 500 to 750 to see how they look and how heavy they fell. I do not recommend going with implants that feel heavy on your neck and shoulder regardless how tall you are. Over time, heavy implants will sag and thin your tissue and be uncomfortable on your neck and shoulders.

Answer: Choosing the right size breast implants for you After I measure and discuss goals with my patients, we then look at pictures of women (my patients) with similar measurements with different size and style breast implants. They also get to see what they would look like when the breasts have fully dropped and fluffed and in clothes. You get to see actual results and the surgeon's experience and not a virtual idea of what can be achieved. Women tell me that this process is very helpful in determining what size and style breast implant is right for them. You should also be aware that results of surgery can change in the future with significant weight change and/or stretching of skin from the milk of pregnancy.

Answer: Breast Implants - 750cc I would definitely go in for a consultation to make sure those fit! That is big implant and although you may be tall, but it has to fit. There is a lot of decision making that needs to be done and without accurate measurements it really is a guess. Best Wishes!

Answer: 750cc full profile on 6ft, 250lb woman with loose skin? Dr says I can take them but pics online look huge. 1st BA, 21 Thank you for your question and photographs. Breast implant selection is an exciting, but stressful part of the breast augmentation process as there are so many choices. Unfortunately it is impossible to recommend the best implant style, size or shape without an in-person examination that allows for the measurement of key breast parameters, as well as permits an in-depth discussion as to your desired goals and outcome. I would recommend seeing additional ASPS board certified plastic surgeons to ensure that the implants you decide upon are the right ones to meet your expectations. It sounds as if it may be wise for you to "try on" several of the implants again so that you can have a better visual representation as to what they would look like. Best wishes!
