I'm scheduled for my BA procedure in April. I have to determine my final implant size, and my PS recommended 450, 475, or 500 to obtain the look I desire. I was considering 500, since I really couldn't tell the difference when I did the rice test. However, I'm concerned about sagging due to heavy implants, and possible complications. Should go with a smaller size to get a more natural look? I am 5'9, 153 lbs, and my breasts are 14cm wide (L&R). Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Answer: Breast augmentation It may be helpful to you to view some images of your body with various implant sizes and styles. 500 is quite a large implant, but at 5'9" your body may accommodate it well. Vectra image analysis can provide nice accurate simulations of what your body will look like. More accurate than the rice test. Good luck!

Answer: Breast augmentation Hello and thank you for your question. You are a great candidate for a breast augmentation. 500cc is a large implant. The size, profile, and shape of the implant is based on your desired breast size/shape, your chest wall measurements, and soft tissue quality. This decision should be based on a detailed discussion with equal input from both you and your surgeon. This entire surgery can be performed with a small incision technique. Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results. Best wishes and good luck. Richard G.
