Inspira breast implants: Is 745cc Too Big For Me? (photos)

Question

My Certified Plastic Surgeon Stated A inspira 745cc Moderate Profile Would Look Perfect On Me. I'm Happy About That Recommendation, However, Deep In Me I Feel Its Too Big? Ive searched endlessly over the internet so find someone with a similar frame as me and I see a lot of petite ladies. Just wanna get some opinions: 32 years old, 4 kids, 5'6", 198lbs, Breast Wall Diameter: 15

Thank you for sharing your question and photographs.  745cc implants are large implants, but unfortunately without having an in-depth discussion as to your goal results, as well as an opportunity to take some key breast parameters, it is difficult to offer definite advice on the right size/profile of implant.  Your ASPS board certified plastic surgeon is your best resource in implant selection, but it may be a good idea for you to "try-on" these implants in their office.  Hope this helps.

Hello and thank you for your question. Honestly, a formal in-person evaluation would be needed to determine the best treatment. There are several reasons for this: 
1) Bra sizes vary based on the clothing store (for example, Victoria's Secret tends to upsize everyone by a whole cup size)
2) Most women do not wear the proper exact fitting bra size for their bodies
3) The exact volume (in cc) needed to change cup size is different for different body types (e.g. 32A to 32D requires a different implant size than 38A to 38D)
4) Be careful NOT to fall into the trap most women do- they see a certain implant size (e.g. 285 cc) or perhaps their friend had a certain size, and they want or request this or another size based on that. Everyone's body is different- 285 cc implants on your friend might look VERY different than they would on you. Be very careful not to make this mistake, because the goal is to find the right size and shape for YOU- for your particular body and your breasts.

Because of those multiple factors, and because it is KEY to fully evaluate your breasts in person to make a full set of precise measurements to select the proper implant for you (incorporating factors like amount of breast tissue, implant type, base width, projection, etc), answering your question really would need a formal personalized consultation- to say anything before that would simply be guessing, which would be both unfair and unhelpful to you. Also, just FYI, each surgeon's measurements are slightly different, so numbers, experience, and overall aesthetic from one surgeon aren't necessarily the same as those from another surgeon!

Your breasts are such a KEY area of your body and your femininity- therefore, you should ONLY trust an experienced aesthetic plastic surgeon. As such an expert, I have had extensive training and experience with complex aesthetic surgeries under a multiple world-renowned experts in the field. I’d recommend for you to setup a formal consultation with me (or another plastic surgeon who is extremely comfortable with aesthetic plastic surgery procedures) for a formal consultation to thoroughly discuss your surgical goals, undergo a formal examination, evaluate all your options (surgical and nonsurgical), and decide on the best procedure(s) and type of anesthesia for your specific case. I hope this helps!

A 745cc implant is a big implant.  The very largest size is 800cc so you are not too far away from that upper limit.  Some of the possible negatives of choosing implants that are too large include: thinning of breast tissue, implant malposition, breast ptosis (droopiness), back/neck/shoulder pain, increased chance of nerve injury, unnatural appearance, etc.

If you feel the 745cc implant is too big for you discuss this with your surgeon.  Your breast augmentation should be customized for you depending on your goals, body measurements, amount of breast tissue, etc.  I'm sure an experienced, board-certified plastic surgeon would want to hear about your concerns before your procedure.
