Can I get 600cc implants?

Question

I used to wear a 34a bra. I had a breast augmentation one year ago. I have 400 cc. Im not happy with the size of my implants. I want to get 600 cc. Is that possible? Do you think a doctor will be willing to do that?

You can always get larger implants. Some pocket manipulation will likely be needed. Higher profile implants typically fit better and optimal size would depend upon your exam and measurements.An exam and consultation with a/your plastic surgeon is recommended to discuss your options and expectations.

It is possible to #increase your implant size with a #revision. However, the #pocket will need adjustment and a #breast lift may 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. You will learn if you are a candidate to increase implant size. and more about the #options best suitable for you, during a one-on-one in-person #consultation.

Thank you for the question. Although definitive advice would require in person evaluation, it is typically possible to further increase breast size safely after initial breast augmentation surgery (for most patients).
You will find that online consultants will not be able to provide you with specific advice in regards to selection of specific breast implant size/profile.  Ultimately, careful selection of plastic surgeon and 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 revisionary 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” or "up a cup size" etc means different things to different people and therefore prove unhelpful.
Also, as you know, cup size varies depending on who makes the bra; therefore, discussing desired cup size may also be inaccurate.
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). Viewing the patient's chest wall in the upright and supine positions, with temporary sizes in place, help select the best breast implant size/profile for the specific patient.
I hope this, and the attached link (dedicated to revisionary breast augmentation surgery concerns), helps. Best wishes.

Usually the answer is yes, but you need to be seen in person and your breast size and skin quality needs to be assessed. Make an appointment to be seen and evaluated.

Robert L. Kraft, MD, FACS · Answer

Increasing implant size may be possible but you should take into account the range of potential complications which could result. So long as the skin has stretched sufficiently and a larger implant pocket can be created, you should be able to increase the size.
