Is 800cc to much??? Moderate plus I picked. (photos)

Thanks for your question and photos. The 800 cc volume is the largest silicone breast implant they make and it is a very large breast implant to have in a single operation. Larger breast implants might lead to "hotness" but they carry more risks when compared to smaller breast implants. The skin is not going to stretch very quickly and will take a long time, may be 16 weeks or so, to stretch to the point where you can see more of your "real" size and shape. Talk to your PS about concerns with bigger breast implants. Best, Dr. ALDO

You have a noticeable sag and asymmetry. I'm not generally an advocate of 800cc implants. i would prefer to see you have a breast lift, correct the asymmetry and implant 350cc High profile placed sub muscular . This may not give you the profound size you seek, but in my opinion will be a more aesthetically committed breast volume and position. In short- i think this will look better. Also, i would improve the apparent inverted nipple.

Thank you for your question and photo.  It appears you would benefit from a breast lift first and then a breast augmentation to give your breasts the volume you desire.  Please see a board certified plastic surgeon to see if your expectations are realistic.All the best,Dr. ResultsMiami, FL

800 cc implants are quite large. You would have to be examined in person to see if you are a candidate. You may have limitations because of the volume.

800 cc implants are extremely large and are typically used for post-mastectomy reconstruction.  Given the ptosis I see on the lateral view, I believe that this would  result in sagging.  800 cc will not produce proportion.  You would be at higher risk for surgical complications including capsular contracture. 

The implant you chose is a large and heavy implant. I would suggest trying on that size, feeling the weight, and seeing how that size looks. You are tall enough to carry it around, just make sure that is the size you do want to carry around. Over time, large implants may thin your breast tissue and sag. If you are also going with a lift, a smaller implant may look better longer.

These are very large implants and from your before pics you already have droopiness and putting in heavy implants will not help this but only make it worse.  You would benefit from a lift and smaller implants.  If you decide to stay with 800 cc I would discuss with your PS putting in some kind of mesh sling to try and keep the implants in place.

Thank you for the question and pictures.  Ultimately, careful communication of your goals (in my practice I prefer the use of goal pictures, direct examination/communication in front of a full-length mirror, and computer imaging) will be critical.

Generally speaking, the best online advice I can give to ladies who are considering breast augmentation surgery ( regarding breast implant size/profile selection) is:

1. Concentrate on choosing your plastic surgeon carefully. Concentrate on appropriate training, certification, and the ability of the plastic surgeon to achieve the results you are looking for. Ask to see lots of examples of his/her work.
2. Have a full discussion and communication regarding your desired goals with your plastic surgeon. This communication will be critical in determining breast implant size/type/profile will most likely help achieve your goals.
In my practice, the use of photographs of “goal” pictures (and breasts that are too big or too small) is very helpful. For example, I have found that the use of words such as “natural” or "D or DD cup” etc means different things to different people and therefore prove unhelpful.
Also, as you know, cup size varies depending on him who makes the bra; therefore, discussing desired cup size may also be inaccurate. Again, the use of computer imaging has been very helpful during the communication process, in our practice.
3. Once you feel you have communicated your goals clearly, allow your plastic surgeon to use his/her years of experience/judgment to choose the breast implant size/profile that will best meet your goals. Again, in my practice, this decision is usually made during surgery, after the use of temporary intraoperative sizers.
I hope this (and the attached link, dedicated to larger breast augmentation surgery concerns) helps. Best wishes for an outcome that you will be very pleased with.

Selecting the correct size implants requires a consult with an experienced surgeon. 800cc is an unusually large implant. However, this may be appropriate for your size. This will be determined by your physician.

This question is like asking if a size 18 dress is too much or a size 11 shoe is too much. Even at 6 ft it is unlikely that the largest standard implant available will fit you properly. Implants are properly matched by matching the diameter of a round implant to the width of your breast upright and with arms down. That way the implant will fit your breast and not stretch or distort it. The forward volume is determined by choosing one of the forward profiles of implants (think of the choices as low, medium, and high even if they're not called that) and know that the effect of this forward profile choice will increase your apparent breast size by about 1, 1 1/2, or 2 cup sizes from what you're starting with (assuming smooth surface, round implants below the pec muscle). In other words, the implant will fit behind your breasts because the diameter is correct and you know what effect your choice of forward profile volume will have. The number of actual cc's is found by looking up the correct diameter implant in the forward profile you have chosen, not by choosing a number of cc's and trying to make it fit.
