I’m looking to get an uplift and implants. Is the risk of necrosis higher if I go for a larger implant size?

Asked By:stephmlunn in Scotland, United Kingdom

My question is that I want to go quite big and bolted looking, is the risk a lot more with going to a higher cc with lift due to the possibility of circulation issues and nipple necrosis? I have spoken to about 6 surgeons one said he would do 700cc for me I’m 5’4 and 150lbs go to the gym a lot so quite toned. bra size currently is 34c i know it’s hard to tell with just a description, but I’m just concerned with the safety, if the doctor is just telling me what I want to hear to get my money?
