I’m 5’8” 220lbs, very curvy on the bottom but have small breasts (no sagging at all currently). I initially wanted 650 or 700cc silicone under the muscle.... but my plastic surgeon suggests 750 or 800cc silicone implants “to better fit my frame.” How much increased risks if I go with 800 instead of 700? I’m worried about extreme sagging. I plan to wear a bra every day and overnight.
Answer: How much Increased risks from 700 to 800cc silicone implants? Tall women with large frames and broad chests, shoulders, and hips can often handle larger implants that would make smaller women's chests look overcrowded and heavy. Realize that implants of 600cc and higher will lead to more tissue thinning over time, have more potential for rippling, more potential for bottoming out, greater likelihood of breast lift revisions because the breast tissue and skin may not be able to support them. What constitutes too large of an implant is generally thought of as one whose base diameter is much greater than your natural breast base diameter.

Answer: Implants You are choosing a very large and heavy implant that will thin your tissue over time, may be too heavy on your neck and shoulders and sag. Once healed, please do not wear bras at night while sleeping because this can increase your risk of breast cancer.

Answer: 700 & 800 cc implants are too large Unfortunately, you have not told us your bra size or provided photographs. However, 700 & 800 cc implants weigh over 1 1/2 lbs each. This may result in neck, shoulder and back pain. Also, the only thing holding up the implants is the skin envelope which will not be able to hold up these large implants long term. They will descend inferior and laterally and you will eventually need a lift or removal of the implants. Implants are not lifetime devices. 8% fail within the first year and 30% fail within six years. Implants this large will never fit underneath the muscle.
