I plan to talk to doctor. I am 5'11" 220 lbs big framed, wide hips. Currently a 40C. Would like to be a little bigger (Ideally D). Doctor says because I am large framed it will take a bigger implant go get same effect. He is recommending 485cc gel implant. I Am scared that will be too big and look very fake. Thoughts?
Answer: Breast Implants / Breast Augmentation Surgery / Breast Enlargement -- Implant Location, Incision Location, Silicone Gel Breast I You need a formal evaluation by a licensed plastic surgeon and expert in breast augmentations to determine what is best for you and your goals.Proper breast enlargement is not a "cookie-cutter" procedure where the same technique is applied to every patient. Every woman who comes to my practice has unique needs and different goals for her breast augmentation. As a board-certified plastic surgeon, I always listen carefully to each woman's concerns and thoroughly discuss the key points of the procedure. I also take into account their overall height and weight, the size and shape of the underlying chest and ribcage, the tightness and elasticity of the skin, and the amount of natural breast tissue. Prior to the procedure, we discuss and make decisions regarding location of the incision, whether to place the implant under or over the chest muscle, and what type of implant to use (I offer multiple types of silicone gel breast implants, as well as saline implants).

Answer: Implant size to use Hello, thanks for your question. Without having examined you personally, I would agree that a larger implant is typically required for larger framed ladies to obtain the same effect. However if you only want to go up one cup size, then you would probably do fine with an implant in the 250-350cc range. If you are concerned with looking fake, then it would be best to stay on the lower end just to be safe. Hope that helps!

Answer: The Bellesoma Lift instead of implants Implants are not lifetime devices. 485 cc implants weigh over 1 lb each and will result in descent. If you are having problems maintaining your normal breasts, adding additional weight will make your situation worse. The better alternative would be a lift using The Bellesoma Method. This will reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness without implants, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation and the ability to breast feed are maintained. At the same time or later, fat transfers can be performed if additional volume is desired. Fat transfers are permanent and incorporated into the body.Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Answer: Cup Size? Patients often think in terms of cup size when considering augmentation. Unfortunately, devices are sized in terms of milliliters (cc) of volume. This can lead to some confusion when sizing. Additionally, it is important to remember that cup size itself is not standardized with variations from one manufacturer to another. Unfortunately, as many women can attest their cup size in an industry leader such as VS is not necessarily transferable to another brand.
