700cc under the muscle silicone gummy bear. I'm a full 36A. Has anyone felt like 700cc was too big? I'm 5'8, 146lbs (Photos)

Hello,Even without a physical examination to confirm, you are not a candidate for a 700cc implant. you will end up with complications that require a revision surgery to fix.  Breast augmentation is not a surgery were we can give any woman any size she desires. Go visit a few ABPS certified/ASAPS member surgeons. Best of luck!

The best recommendation will come from a plastic surgeon who has examined your unique anatomy and can make a recommendation based on the diameter of the base of your breast, your existing breast tissue and your hoped-for result. A 700cc breast implant is larger than most but that doesn't mean you couldn't be very happy with the results, depending on your goals. Your natural anatomy may not work for implants that large, however. To get an idea of your breast implant options, schedule a consultation with a plastic surgeon and consider his or her recommendation to achieve your desired look.

We help patients select implants that are based on their individual biodimensions - a 700 cc implant is large by any standard - I would carefully consider your goals for this cosmetic surgery and make sure your surgeon has your goals in mind.

In my practice, implant size is determined by your measurements. I do not go outside of those measurements because the complication rates are significantly higher, and are not worth the risk.From your pictures, I believe that a 700c implant would be too big for your body--an in-person consultation with a BCPS would be best, rather than looking online. That should then give you an idea of what would fit your body/breast shape.Best.

The best way to determine implant size is to meet with a board certified plastic surgeon who is experienced in high-quality breast augmentation procedures.  Your chest width and height should be measured as well as an assessment of your soft tissue, breast crease, nipple position, and other measurements.  The implant should fit nicely in your breast without being oversized in an unattractive way.   If your implant is too large or fits poorly, you risk implants which are way too high, may bulge to the side excessively, or with a damaged cleavage (uniboob).     It is better to select the right size rather than the fullest possible because your breasts will be more attractive.    Hope this helps!

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.

in your unlined bra cup when sizing?  If so, you will be fine if the right style implant can be found to fit on your chest.  Your height allows you to carry more volume so pick a look you like that fits on your body and go for it.

The ideal breast implant size is one that provides the enhanced appearance and stays within your own anatomical borders, for this a lot of measurements are performed prior the choosing of the size, these include breast base width, nipple position, if there is any asymmetry, breast tissue pinch thickness test, etc between others. There is always a limit of how big you can go without looking disproportioned.

Definitely the best option is to go and have an in person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon.

The best way to pick implant size is based on your breast and chest width and not the volume. As the implants get bigger, they get wider. When the width of the implant fits the width of your chest, it will look nice and fit your frame. If the implants are too small, you will have a gap between them and they may look too far apart. If they are too wide, they will make you look top heavy as they may be too wide and stick well out past the sides of your chest. There are ways to get a bigger or smaller look.This can be done by picking a different implant profile. The higher the profile, the narrower the base width of the implant. If someone has a very narrow chest and wants to be big, they should consider a higher profile implant. If someone has a broad chest and they do not want to be too big but want to avoid the gap and still have cleavage without projection, they should consider a lower profile implant such as a moderate. There are options in between these such as the moderate plus. I prefer the underarm approach so there is no scar on your breast. The new silicone is the only way to go as far a rippling as the new silicone ripples much less than saline, especially in the larger implants. I personally prefer the smooth round implants under the muscle placed through the under arm to give you the most natural look and feel. This also leaves you no scar o your breast. Dr Scott Ennis   

of course, there are a few people out there who have large implants and maybe look good. They may even look good for a few years. However, most of them did not start out with that implant. For women who are seeking very large implants, it is best to slowly stretch the pocket overtime. You will have a much better result if you start with a more conservative sized implant and then increase  to something in the future.  Furthermore, large breasts and large breast implants will rob you of your waist. It has a tendency to make you look heavier.
