I'm 5'4," plan on getting 800cc saline implants, I want the fake look. Would they look silly or just over the top on me? (photo)

Question

I want the ultra high profile with the very round shape and tight looking breasts. I also want them to look fake just not stupid on my physique. I plan on getting liposuction at the same time as my breasts, how do I explain to the doctor what I want in my consultation next week to make it clear what I want? I do not want the natural look at all. But, I also do NOT want to look like a [RS bleep] star...I just want over the top noticeable breasts..

Jose Perez-Gurri, MD, FACS · Answer

I would caution against the use of such large implants. Although your photos do not show your breasts, it doesn't seem like you have enough tissue coverage. This will lead to stretch marks, thiniing out of the natural breast tissue and a high degree of rippling. You appear to be in fit form and I am concerned that implants this size will detract form your figure. Good luck

Thank you for your purchase. With your stature I would not place 800cc implants. That is going to cause harm over time. You need to visit with several board certified plastic surgeons to get the best recommendations for a noticeable but not detrimental augmentation

David S. Motoki, MD · Answer

In general it is best to have the breast implants fit within the anatomic boundaries of your existing breasts. The width of the breast is an important factor in selecting breast implants. Exceeding this dimension has some down sides in the long term. You could have excessive fullness in the lateral chest that would look very unnatural. The weight of the implants can lead to premature sagging of the breasts and soft tissue thinning that results in visible rippling of the implants. Very large breast implants could also affect nipple sensitivity and the ability of the nipples to become erect with stimulation. Consult with an experienced plastic surgeon certified by The American Board of Plastic Surgery to learn more about breast implants so you can make an educated and informed decision.

it goes against what most plastic surgeons are trained to do.  But if you're fully informed and the implant footprint will fit on your chest and your willing to accept all of the anticipated problems down the road, you can find a surgeon who will do this for you.  Life is about living and if this will make it as good as it can be for you, carpe diem!  And you may look like a porn star too.

800 cc implants are very large and more than likley would not be appropriate for you.   Best to be seen in person to be properly evaluated.

Erika Sato, MD, FACS · Answer

Different factors go into choosing the right breast implant size for you. One of which is your chest frame. There are measurements that plastic surgeons take in order to give you a size range that is safe for you. Another is your desires or goals. By saying you want the "fake" look that generally means a round breast with upper pole fullness. This does not necessarily mean very large breasts. It is important to remember that larger implants (generally over 400cc) tend to have more complications than smaller implants. The size and weight of the implant will cause your breast to become ptotic (saggy) faster because of gravity. The pressure the implant places against our breast skin may cause the skin to have stretch marks. All of these changes are permanent, so it is really important that you put a lot of thought into the implant size that you choose. It is not uncommon for patients to say exactly what you said above at their consultation. That is what the consultation is for. For you to let us know what you want and for us to let you know if what you are wanting is safe and if the end result will meet your desires.

Thank you for your questions. During your consultation you should bring photos of the look you would like to  achieve. This will help the surgeon understand your expectations. Good luck.

Best to be perfectly honest with ALL your requests.. Make sure you understand everything before having surgery...

Hello, Thanks for your question. First of all, in my opinion, 800cc will eventually "pass the check"  in the future because of the weight your adding to your breasts. This may eventually cause posture problems, as well as back problems and even lacerations caused by your bra. Very big breasts eventually turn into very big problems.That said, if you're looking for a fake view then the pocket position must be thought thoroughly after a personal consultation. Over the muscle implant positioning gives more that fake look (where you have a much more pronounced breast cleavage and upper breast pole). Another thing I would encourage you to reconsider is not getting Saline Implants. Silicone breast implants are extremely safe nowadays, and you may want a "fake look" but not a "fake touch", so (again in my opinion) silicone implants feel much more like breast tissue than saline implants.Things I would recommend you:- Don't think about how many CCs, but about what look do you want. 800 cc can be not such a big augmentation on a 5'11'' patient and look absurd in someone your stature. - Bring this photograph to your surgeon. Tell him this is something like the look you want. We never try to imitate the breasts in the picture, but it helps us understand what the patient considers an aesthetic volume/shape/outcome.- Make sure you understand what it would mean LIVING with 800cc on each side from now on. Something I tell my patients that want dramatic volume increases is to fill up a balloon with a 50cc syringe  and water until you make sure you put in the volume you desire. Put one ballon inside a sports bra on each breast. Forget about the shape, just focus on the weight. Leave it on for 5-10 hours. Is it a little heavy? Imagine you'll have to live with that.- Ask someone that has gotten a similar volume than the one you want. I have a patient that had 650cc a couple of months ago. She has offer to talk to any of my patients about her procedure, so I can put you in contact with her.Hope this answers your doubts. If not, feel free to contact me. Take care and good luck on your journey, Dr. Fernandez Goico

It will be helpful to your consultant to bring the goal photo you posted as well as some other photos showing what sort of result you don't like. Your definition of a "porn star" look and an "over the top" look may have little in common with the surgeon's opinion.Your own photos are not very helpful since the breasts are covered. Not all patients can be fitted with 800 cc implants--much depends on your anatomy about which little can be told from these pictures. Your surgeon may wisely suggest silicone implants, and I suggest you listen to the pros and cons carefully. To the best of my knowledge, the ultra high profiles are not available with saline.All the best.
