600 CC implants a good size for my frame?

Question

I'm 5'8 155lbs and extremely athletic with a barrel chest, about a full A cup now, I would like to have full C to small D size breasts, would 600cc implants be too big or make it hard for me to run?

Leila Kasrai, MD, FRCSC · Answer

Your surgeon will discuss your goals and take measurements of your body (eg breast width, chest circumference, height, etc). Based on this info, they’ll recommend a range of sizes that may achieve your goals and accommodate your lifestyle. It’s a good idea to bring a bra in the size you’d like to be to your consultation, so you can “try on” implants in your desired sizes. At that time, you can see whether 600 cc looks good to you, and you can also try moving around with them to get a general understanding of how they’ll feel.

Casey Anderson, MD, FACS · Answer

The general description is 125-150 cc equals about a cup size increase. Going to 600 cc may overshoot what you are looking to achieve. As always, be sure to research who performs your surgery to ensure the best likelihood of a positive result.

Many factors determine the ideal size implant for a person. To do this properly and accurately requires a formal consultation and physical examination. I would expect that a 600cc implant would likely take you beyond your stated bra size goals and the weight would physically compromise your running.

Sizing patients is actually pretty easy in person but really hard to do on the internet.  I rarely place implants that large but not to say it is impossible.  I’d recommend a board certified plastic surgeon in your area or nearby meet with you and discuss your goals etc.  I have patients try on sizers and use a 3-d  imaging system to show them the results.  Using this method  I have only had to resize someone 2 times in 10 years.  Good luck

My patients tell me that somewhere between the 3rd and 5th week after surgery they do not notice their breasts as something separate from the rest of their body. Their breasts feel the same as before the surgery. So activities will feel the same. I recommend consultation with a plastic surgeon to be measured and discuss your goals. After I measure and discuss goals with my patients, we then look at pictures of women (my patients) with similar measurements with different size and style breast implants. They also get to see what they would look like when the breasts have fully dropped and fluffed and in clothes. You get to see actual results and the surgeon's experience and not a virtual idea of what can be achieved. Women tell me that this process is very helpful in determining what size and style breast implant is right for them. You should also be aware that results of surgery can change in the future with significant weight change and/or stretching of skin from the milk of pregnancy.

Depending on the individual anatomy and desired results, estimations and measurements should be made for each patient individually after a detailed mutual conversation. The elements that form up the breast shape and size and the overall frame can be different in each person. It will be best to consult a board certified plastic surgeon who is experienced in cosmetic breast surgery in person and discuss your goals and options after a physical examination.

Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

Hello, thank you for your question. It is hard to tell without proper photos, a board certified plastic surgeon will be able to guide you to the correct size implant. Based upon measurements of your chest wall and breast imprint width as well as knowledge of all breast implant sizes and profiles should make this process easy. Try on a profile bra with various smooth silicone cc sizers your PS recommends under a tailored blouse, tank top, bikini, workout clothes, and other garments you typically wear so that you have the best idea of whether the garments fit as desired with the implant selected. Select the size that boosts your self-esteem, and fits your anatomy. Choosing an implant based on an aesthetic goal that exceeds your anatomic capacity may lead to complications and possibly revision.

600 cc implants weigh over 1 lb each and will displace inferiorly and laterally. The only thing holding up your implants is the skin envelope and is not long term stable. You have not told us your bra size but if you are size 32 or 34, each 100 cc of implant corresponds to 1 cup size change. If you are size 36 or 38, each 200 cc of implant corresponds to 1 cup size change. From this, you can determine the amount required to achieve your desired goal.

Thank you for your question. Breast implant selection is an exciting, but stressful part of the breast augmentation process as there are so many choices. Unfortunately it is impossible to recommend the best implant style, size or shape without an in-person examination that allows for the measurement of key breast parameters, as well as permits an in-depth discussion as to your desired goals and outcome. I would recommend seeing ASPS board certified plastic surgeons to ensure that the implants you decide upon are the right ones to meet your expectations. It sounds as if it may be wise for you to "try on" several of the implants so that you can have a better visual representation as to what they would look like. Best wishes!
