So I've already paid and am getting my surgery this next Monday May 4th I have chosen 600cc Smooth round high profile silicone implants and will be using the keller funnel under the muscle. So I am a little concern with the fact that the size is too large, and most of my friends are a bit scared for me which is giving me doubts. I am 5ft curvy Latina weight about 120lbs. My doctor recommended 700-600cc which I went for 600cc. I want a full D, or DD. I was already contemplating 457 or 533cc?
Answer: Should I get 600cc, I am a 5ft tall and 34 B. Thank you for the question and pictures. I think that you are starting at a good place and should have a very nice outcome with breast augmentation surgery. There is no accurate/reliable/predictable correlation between size/profile breast implant utilized and cup size achieved. 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. Given that your surgery is coming up soon, I would suggest that you schedule additional time to spend with your plastic surgeon communicating your goals, preferably prior to the date of surgery. 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 "full 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 breast augmentation surgery concerns) helps. Best wishes.

Answer: Implant size Personally I think 600 cc implants are far too large. You may be happy with them initially, but after carrying them around for a few years, they will be uncomfortable. Also, they will definitely give your build a heavy appearance.

Answer: Size I would suggest going back to your surgeon and trying on sizers again. The size you selected is a large and heavy implant, and may be heavy for your frame. Remember, long term, many big breasts do sag. You do not want to select an implant that is too heavy for your neck and shoulders, and too heavy for your tissue to support.

Answer: Should I get 600cc's Based on the limited information provided regarding your breast dimensions, and your desire to be a D or DD, I think a 600cc implant is too large. I would return for a second visit and try on 500cc's or less. The ultimate decision is yours. Don't be concerned about discussing this with your surgeon. Everyone should be on the same page prior to surgery.

Answer: Breast augmentation Thank you for your question. If you are still concerned with the size you have selected, prior to going in to your surgery you may wish to ask to try on the sizer implants one more time so that you feel comfortable with your decision. The most important thing is that you are comfortable and confident in the choice you make.Best regards,Dr. Lane F. Smith, MDPlastic SurgeonLas Vegas, NV

Answer: Should I get 600cc, I am a 5ft tall and 34 B I think that those implants will be way too big for your frame. Large volume implants (anything greater than 400 ccs) have a higher incidence of complication (and reoperation) in general. As implants get bigger, they also get wider, and that specific implant is likely too wide for your frame which can cause a number of issues. I would agree with my colleague below that it is in your best interest to revisit with your plastic surgeon and discuss size again before your surgery. Good luck!
