Any Complications with Going Too Big?

August 27, 2012
Asked By:Miladoll in Scottsdale,Az

Hey realself army! On September 19th, I'll be flying out from Scottsdale to Miami for my breast augmentation! (Eps miami). I am 5 foot 2, and 110 pounds... my current bra size is a 32 B. Do to my small frame, I have chosen silicone implants instead of saline to eliminate rippling. I am going for 500- 525ccs, which is quite large, I'm expecting a DD as the result. Can someone please tell me if there are any added complications when using a big size on a small frame during surgery (not post op)?
