I am 5ft 2". 115 lbs on my pre-op I decided to change the number of cc's from 500 to 450 cc . My doctor said that there is no difference and I should stick to 500cc. I am scared that it might be too big. This is my first time getting them done I am scheduled for November 12,2016. Sometimes I wonder if he dosen't want me to change them because they have been ordered or is it because he actually feels they will look better on me.. What do you think? Are 500 cc's too big,
Answer: 500cc implants are too large for your frame 500cc breast implants are actually quite large for any frame. Please consider that implants are heavy; and as such, they can cause skin stretch deformities, irreversible soft tissue damage, migrate, cause nipple numbness, chronic pain, etc. Discuss in detail these and other risks and complications associated with large implants with your surgeon before moving forward. 450cc implants are still large and not much different than 500cc implants.Kind regards,

CONTACT NOW Answer: 500cc Implants in Petite Frame I am hoping you "tried on" some implant sizers as part of your visit before surgery so you have an idea of what 450 or 500cc look like on you. That said, based on your frame, my guess is 500cc might be a bit much. The issue is whether or not your skin and tissues have the ability to hold an implant of that size.

Answer: Breast Implant Sizing Hello,There is precious little information to give you an answer. Height and weight are NOT helpful, a physical exam would be necessary to give you the best answer. I will tell you that I disagree with any surgeon that errs on the side of bigger. Bigger implants are more likely to give you problems. Best of luck!

Answer: Are 500cc breast implants too big for my frame? The best cosmetic result in any particular breast augmentation patient depends on a variety of factors, including: your individual anatomy, desired outcome, realistic expectations, a thorough discussion with the plastic surgeon about the options, and an understanding of the pros and cons of any particular implant choice. Proper sizing is not just about the number of cc’s or a specific implant type or shape. The thickness of your tissue, breast dimensions which include the width, height, and projection, as well as chest wall width all need to be considered when choosing an implant. Trying on implant “sizers” of various shapes and volumes while wearing a tight t-shirt, bra, or bathing suit at a preoperative visit will help you and your surgeon choose the optimal implant. 500 cc implants are considered quite large for a patient your size. Keep in mind that following the advice from a surgeon on this or any other website who proposes to tell you what to do without examining you, physically feeling the tissue, assessing your desired outcome, taking a full medical history, and discussing the pros and cons of each operative procedure would not be in your best interest. I would suggest that your plastic surgeon be certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and ideally a member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) or the Canadian Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (CSAPS) that you trust and are comfortable with. You should discuss your concerns with that surgeon in person. Robert Singer, MD FACS La Jolla, California

Answer: Size selection Hello and thank you for your question. 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. Reish, M.D. Harvard-trained plastic surgeon
