Love my current breasts, but want bigger! Currently 5' 61/2" & 139lbs. 450cc has me in a bra Sz 34dd but I feel small. :( Anyone with similar stats? Should I ask my PS about changing to mod+ or hp & increase cc's? Originally had the procedure done in the crease, can it be done that way again & will the scar still remain under my breast even with going bigger? Will my implants drop quicker this time round? Recovery was quick and easy with no problems. Will revision be the same? Thanks.
Answer: 450cc Moderate Saline Implants to 750-800cc? Am I crazy?! Maybe not crazy, but certainly setting yourself up for implant malposition and need for a revision. The larger volume will be hard for the pocket to handle and the skin and gland will stretch and thin. The loss of elasticity over time will make it likely that the implants will not maintain its intended position and likely will bottom out or spill out into your arm pit. The diameter of the implant is simply too wide for your chest. I do use these large implants on breast reconstruction patients, but they also have mesh implanted to help support the weight. Best of Luck!

Answer: Breast Implant Upsizing Breast revision surgery in your case would be an elective procedure and only you can determine if it is worth while doing.However having said that, you are considering rather large implants which will have its toll on your tissues over time. A patient with larger implants will have faster soft tissue thinning and stretching than a patient with smaller implants. Patients with high profile implants will also have the same issue.Therefore you really have to consider if it is worth it to move forward and undergo the procedure. I would recommend you discuss this with your surgeon or be evaluated by a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss this in more detail.Good luck.

Answer: 450cc Moderate Saline Implants to 750-800cc Additional elective cosmetic #surgery is a personal choice. As with all cosmetic surgery, results will be rewarding if expectations are realistic. If you do decide on a revision to #increase your implant size or choose a different implant, the #pocket will need adjusting and often a breast #lift is also be necessary to better #support the new implant. Additionally, a mesh for further support may be helpful depending on the #implant size and skin #elasticity. A different type or wider implants may also be an option if deemed a candidate.

Answer: Best Breast Implants for ME (revisionary breast surgery)? Thank you for the question. Although it is not possible to provide you with definitive advice without an person evaluation, most patients are able to "go larger" at a second stage, once the breast tissues have expanded (after first-time breast augmentation). Sometimes, during this revisionary surgery, adjustment of the breast implant capsules is also necessary to achieve the desired outcome.

Answer: Is bigger better? There are consequences to almost doubling the size of your implants. Going to an 800cc implant may not give you the same breast that you have now, just in a larger size. A larger implant is heavier and wider than your current implant. The weight can thin the tissues and you could develop visible rippling and the implants could displace with sagging or a lateral position. You need to see a board certified plastic surgeon who can assess your tissues and anatomy and who will discuss the risks and trade offs with larger implants. You don't want your "upgrade" to become a nightmare.
