Petite Frame Wanting Large Implants. Will This Take More Than One Surgery? (photo)

I would recommend staging the augmentation to avoid the complications of going too big too fast. Eventually with larger implants and stretching of the skin the breasts will look softer and have a teardrop shape.
Inframammary incision would be highly recommended for you to accommodate larger implant sizes.
Consult with a board certified plastic surgeon with expertise in breast augmentation to fit you with appropriately sized implants that meet your goals.
Good luck!

Hi there-

To answer your question, I would say that your best bet is to stage the procedures at least 6 months to a year apart (planning on 2-3 ooperations to achieve the size you want).

I feel ethically compelled, however, to remind you that while breasts as large as those in the photos you posted may seem attractive to you at this time in your life, the likelihood is that with time you will feel that they make you look heavy and matronly, and that they sag in an unattractive way.

This will almost guarantee that you need many more operations in your future, for breast lifting and correction of problems that result from the use of very large implants in small women.

Be careful what you ask for, and be sure you understand the long term implications of your choices.

Many doctors have weighed in on this issue, so my response will not be anything new, but here is is plain and simple. Don't do it. You are too small for implants that size and once you go that big, there is no going back. The tissues will be  over stretched. You may like the way you look for several years, but after time and gravity (not to mention any future pregnancies) kick in, you will have large and very droopy breasts. Please think for the long term.

there are several options.   this can be done in stages with two or three sets of implants over 1-2 years or you may consider an adjustable saline implant or tissue expander to start.

understand that larger implants will have more complications of capsules, stretch marks,  thinning skin,  malpostion and so forth

The pictures you included will help your surgeon as a guide to what size you want to be.

Remember, after breast augmentation....they will still be your breasts...BIGGER. I personally don't guarantee the "look" of any particular picture.

Also, large breast implants have been associated with increased risk of complications, especially in the long term, such as tissue thinning, nipple stretching,  rippling, synmastia (breast running together), etc... You have to be aware of this on the front end.

To be on the safe side, it will realistically take two surgeries.  I recommend waiting about one year between implant changes as well for your capsule to fully mature.

However, do not let this commentary on the Internet be your only source.  I recommend you see a board-certified plastic surgeon of your choosing and ask a lot of questions. Be informed before you make this decision.
