So I am 5'2" and 127 lbs. I really want to go to at least 550cc in silicone... The one doctor said that the biggest he would do would be 480cc ultra high profile silicone mentor implants... But to me that doesn't seem big at all. I really want at least a full dd in Victoria secret to a small ddd. When I was breast feeding I went up to a dd and I felt they still looked small. I feel like I have wider hips and I feel like I have a lot of skin or breast tissue and I do not have saggy breasts
Answer: Can I have 550 cc implants? Focusing on a result and long-term safety is more relevant and important than focusing on a particular number of cc's. Implant size (and projection) is chosen based on body measurements balanced with a desired look. Not all women can SAFELY have all implant sizes/types regardless of desire. Sometimes it's a compromise. Based on height, weight, body type, bone structure, fat composition, and chest wall anatomy bodies are different. Just knowing a specific number of cc's has no relevance since it is out of context. Implants that are larger than recommended based on a person's particular measurements can lead to increased tissue thinning, rippling, skin stretching, stretch marks, wider areolas, and/or implant malposition. Implant malposition is where an implant ends up where it doesn't belong. These issues are often very hard to repair. Here are just a few of multiple possibilities: -the implants may cross the midline giving a "uniboob"-the implants may land in the armpit-the "mushroom breast" appearance where your arm hits your breast every time it swings forward (the girl in the photo has this)If none of this convinces you after mulling it over for a LONG time (eg 1 year or longer) and you still want the ultra-exotic look, you can have your implants replaced to larger ones after your tissues have stretched to some degree.

Answer: Is it possible to go at least to 550cc with my body type It is impossible to tell from the pictures you sent. You will get some stretching of your own skin but you need to have a certain amount of laxity to fit that size of an implant in. if the skin does not stretch then you will get more distortion of your breast with nipple areolar complex malposition - relative to the implant. I think you can put that implant in you just need to know how it will affect the position of your nipple.

Answer: Breast augmentation sizing. Thank you for your question. The proper way to perform her breast augmentation is to use tissue based measurements to provide a range of sizes of implants. From reading and looking at your pictures you're very petite and therefore I believe that's a larger implant will look obviously fake and possibly also cause complications. I prefer to use smaller implants to get better long-term results. I hope that helps and I wish you all the luck in the world.

Answer: Breast Augmentation - Size Selection Thank you for your question. "Tissue based planning" relies on your chest and breast measurements and is the safest way to ensure good long term results. Your surgeon should determine what size and projection are necessary to give you your desired result based on your body's measurements. The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam. Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic breast surgery. Hope this helps and good luck with your surgery.

Answer: Is it possible to go at least 550cc with my body type? Thank you for the question and photos. Online consultants will not be able to provide you with specific enough advice to be truly helpful. 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, in bra sizers, and computer imaging) as well as careful measurements (dimensional planning) will be critical. Generally speaking, much of the final look achieved after breast augmentation surgery depends on several factors:1. The initial shape, size (volume of breast tissue), symmetry of the patient's breasts. In general, the better the preoperative breast appearance the more likely the breast augmentation “look” will be optimal.2. The experience/skill level of the surgeon is important in determining the final outcome. For example, the accurate and gentle dissection of the breast implant pockets are critical in producing long-term well-placed breast implants. Careful measurements (dimensional planning) and careful selection of breast implant size/profile are part of the surgeon's responsibilities.I personally think that these 2 factors are more important than any others, including type (saline or silicone) or model (low/moderate/high profile) of implant.3. The type of implant used may determine the final outcome, especially if the patient does not have significant covering breast or adipose tissue. For example, some surgeons feel that silicone implants have a more natural look and feel than saline implants because silicone gel has a texture that is similar to breast tissue. In other words, if a patient has very low body fat and/or very little breast tissue, the silicone gel implants may provide a more "natural" result. The weight of the breast implants are almost identical; silicone is actually a slightly lighter weight breast implant.4. The size and model of breast implant used may make a significant difference in the final outcome. Therefore, it is very important to communicate your size goals with your surgeon. In my practice, the use of photographs of “goal” pictures (and breasts that are too big or too small) is very helpful. I have found that the use of words such as “natural” or “ DD cup” etc.Also, as you know, cup size varies depending on who makes the bra; therefore, discussing desired cup size may also be inaccurate.I hope this, and the attached link (dedicated to breast augmentation concerns), helps. Best wishes.
