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!

CONTACT NOW Answer: 5'9" 145lbs - what is the best breast implant cc size for me? Thank you for your question. You have very nice breast anatomy and should be able to achieve an excellent result after breast augmentation. It is important to understand that the size of implant will be based on a measurement of the base width of your breast. Once her surgeon has measured the base with he or she will consult the chart which will tell the surgeon the best base size of implant for you. Generally speaking there are moderate profile plus, high profile all dry profile and low profile implants. The higher profile implants have a narrower base with so you could accommodate a larger implant in the high profile and you could moderate or low-profile implant. Your plastic surgeon will help you with these decisions. Your starting from a very nice place and should have an excellent result. The 600 cc implants are very large and could be cumbersome.

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: Breast augmentation Hello and thank you for your question. You are a great candidate for a breast augmentation. The size of the implant is based on your desired breast size/shape, your chest wall measurements, and soft tissue quality. This decision should be based on a detailed discussion with equal input from both you and your surgeon. This entire surgery can be performed with a small incision technique. Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results. The most important aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person. Best wishes and good luck. Richard G. Reish, M.D. Harvard-trained plastic surgeon
