I'm 5'4" and 135 pounds. I'm considering getting breast surgery and after looking up information on the internet for some time i finally decided to go to a consultation, I was thinking of getting around 450cc silicon implants but my doctor said he won't be able to go larger then 300cc and he might not even be able to do that, he says it's because i don't have enough skin. I go to the gym a lot and i am lean, my upper body has always been fairly lean.

Answer: Implant selection Hello and thank you for your question. The best advice you can receive is from an in-person consultation. Your surgeon likely recommended an upper limit of 300cc due to concern for your breasts being able to accommodate a larger 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. Best wishes and good luck. Richard G. Reish, M.D. Harvard-trained plastic surgeon

Answer: My doctor says he won't go larger than 300cc because not enough skin, is he right? Hi there, Thank you for your question. It may be best to obtain a second opinion considering it is difficult to provide accurate information based on photos. Best, realdrsix
