6'2" 200lbs 36A. My BA is in a week. I tried on sizers and picked 675cc. My doc invited the mentor rep to my preop and I got overwhelmed and left confused. They said the closest to what I picked was the silicone 550cc hp. There is a UHP 700 13.5-How is that not the closer option? I also thought there'd be more than two u/hp options. I've attached my current pics, clothed with and without prostheses, inspo, and a 695cc vectra sim from a different doctor (which looks small-are these accurate?)

Answer: Breast augmentation...the sky is not the limit...your anatomy is While implant size is a personal decision which is ultimately the patient's choice, there are limits to what can be safely accomplished(in a single procedure). A 700 cc implant is significant (800 cc is the max) and is likely much more than your envelope can accommodate in a single stage. The complication rate post augmentation increases with increased size. You might consider a smaller device to start with and allow for tissue expansion to accommodate your desired final implant.As always, discuss your concerns with a board certified plastic surgeon (ABPS).

Answer: Implant sizing Your surgeon has examined you and is likely recommending that size based on your breast measurements and skin stretch. The dream photos you attached may not be realistic for your body but you are probably right in that eventually you will want a larger implant. Placing an ultra high 650+cc range implant at a first time breast augmentation is asking for complications. Hope this helpsJosh Olson MD

Answer: Selecting the proper implant size To make sure that you have the right breast implant size, I strongly recommend that you use sizers and 3-dimensional pre-op imaging to pick your size. If you have done this, and you would like a 700 cc implant and your surgeon does not agree with you, I recommend getting a second opinion. The number one complaint after breast augmentation is size dissatisfaction. You and your surgeon need to be on the same page.
