I am trying to figure out what size is best for me. I have looked at reviews of women who have similar stats to mine 5'9 145lbs and I like the look of 600cc and above on that height and weight?
Answer: Breast Implant Sizing Hello,Height and weight are almost completely irrelevant to proper implant sizing. Your aesthetic goal is best determined by in office sizing in front of a mirror. More important than that is determining your anatomic capacity. Going beyond that in search of an aesthetic goal will vastly increase your risk of complications and reoperation. Go visit a few ABPS certified/ASAPS member surgeons that specialize in cosmetic breast surgery.Best of luck!

Answer: Large breast implants = higher risk for complications Thank you for your question and photos. Your wish pictures are beautiful, however, those results will not last for very long. Please be aware that the larger the breast implant, the sooner you will need corrective surgery to put them back where they belong. The forces of gravity unfortunately, do not cease to exist on your chest. So, you either need to choose smaller implants or you will need to wear strong/supportive undergarments 24/7 to minimize skin stretch deformities and irreversible soft tissue damage typically caused by large implants. I strongly suggest you do your homework and research the risks and complications associated with large implants (>400cc). This site is an excellent start. Best wishes and kind regards,

Answer: Choosing a breast implant size Thank you for your question and for attaching photos. There are numerous factors that go into choosing an implant size. Your surgeon should take measurements of your breasts including the base diameter, which is the width of your breast. Once you have the base diameter, you and your surgeon can choose an implant size that will fit within the base diameter. The quality of your skin also will play a factor in choosing an implant size. You should be able to achieve the look in the picture you have shown, using a high profile or ultra-high profile and not using as large of an implant. Vectra 3D imaging is very helpful for patients when trying to choose between sizes. It will give you a realistic expectation as to what your breast size will be after surgery. 600cc is certainly on the larger size of implants. The long term complication rates are higher with implants above around 450cc. I am not trying to talk you into going smaller, you should realize the complication rates are higher with larger implants. This said, the number one complaint is I wish I went larger. There are pros and cons with different sizes so make sure you discuss those with your surgeon. Good luck.

Answer: What is the best cc breast implant size for me? The best cosmetic result in any particular breast augmentation patient depends on a variety of factors, including: Your individual anatomy, realistic expectations, a thorough discussion with the plastic surgeon about the options, and an understanding of the pros and cons of any particular implant choice. Proper sizing is not just about the number of cc’s. or the type of implant. The thickness of your tissue, breast dimensions which include the width, height, and projection, as well as chest wall width all need to be considered when choosing an implant. Trying on implant “sizers” of various shapes and volumes while wearing a tight t-shirt, bra, or bathing suit at a preoperative visit will help you and your surgeon choose the optimal implant.
