I'm looking for a UK based (London/Buckinghamshire) surgeon who is comfortable working with larger volume implants. I'm a curvier girl currently 36a and a BWD of 16 cm,. I've been recommended 550cc by one surgeon but i'm not sure it will give me the look I want. Hoping to get some feedback from surgeons willing to go a bit larger, obviously subject to consultation etc. Thank you! L

Answer: It is difficult to make very large breast implants look good. Hello Imnin,I would echo the concerns of my colleagues here and advise caution when considering having very large breast implants.There are limitations based on the dimensions of your frame and the amount of cover available to 'hide' the implant and so if you are an A cup now, it will be hard to hide a very large implant with the breast tissue that you have.You have got good advice from well respected plastic surgeons here and it sounds like Taimur would be happy to see you in London, so I would advise that you seek an in person consultation with a fully accredited plastic surgeon (look for FRCS(Plast) after their name) and be open to their advice and suggestions.Good luck and thank you for posting your question.

Answer: What are the risks of having large breast implants? I consider large implants to be anything over 500cc in size. In my experience of using large implants, all women with large implants will have another operation at some point in their life. Sometimes this is because of a problem and sometimes it is because there is a change of mind, or maybe you need an uplift because the skin is drooping from the weight of the implants. No matter what the reason, though, it's inevitable that you will have another operation and there is a financial implication for any surgery that you will have. For some women, we have to give them the result they want in a stepwise manner. In other words, it's a two stage process (two operations). This means we have to use as large an implant that we can use in the first operation, then we let the skin grow and adapt to the new size, and a year or two later we put in a larger implant, because the tissues can handle it. If your skin has the ability to take in a larger implant it can be done, but the risks of larger implants in one stage are higher. The largest implants available from Allergan are 800g (they measure in grammes, not ccs). I have a clinic in London if you want to get in touch and discuss this further. Hope this helps.
