32A and I’ve chosen 500cc saline, can my body handle that big of implant? (Photos)

Thank you very much for your question
and photographs. From your information and pictures, 500cc implants will certainly
be large for your physical build. The implant size you choose is very personal
and the decision should be based on your body type, chest size, and aesthetic
desires. However, a 500cc implant will not look natural or proportionate on
someone your size. For the best results, that fits your desired appearance, I recommend
scheduling an in-person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon,
experienced in breast augmentation procedures. He/she should provide implant
sizers for you to try on, giving you a better idea of how each implant will
look on you.

Hello, Thank you for your question!It can be helpful to bring wish/goal pictures with you to your consultation, so your PS can help you with sizing/options. 500cc can look different on each patient depending on chest measurements. You can learn more on our social media (Instagram and Snapchat): @realdrsix.

jng97.    You are correct to be careful in choosing breast implant size for a natural result because you are petite and have little or no body fat. Large saline implants can most certainly cause rippling and look extremely unnatural in someone like yourself. You can easily obtain a natural result with round smooth implants in the sub muscular plane.   Breast with measurements or a key indicator when choosing implant size, but physical examination is always needed. I also like to use the implant in brassiere technique to try different size implants to assist patients in choosing the best size for them. Another nice exercise is finding photographs of breast size that you like, and show them to your plastic surgeon.  Be sure to consult with a board certified plastic surgeon.  Good luck!

hello thank you for your question and provided information as well.. based in your question its difficultd evaluted your case with this angle of  a picture , its recommended get a consultation with a plastic surgeon to evaluate you.

If you are very thin you can do a larger implant but you will have a more artificial breast appearance in most cases and a higher risk of earlier drooping of the breast. If you have tried on different sizes in your doctor’s office and this is what you liked the best then it may be worth the trade offs. However, I would be more concerned about the risk of visible ripples with saline implants in a very thin person with little native breast tissue. If you really want to do a larger size you will likely have a better outcome with a silicone implant. 
Best of luck on your journey,

Breasts aesthetics are very individual; patient should be one to decide about desired size of breast/implants. However, chest size and shape have to be taken into consideration, in particular when relatively large implants (approximately 3-4 cup sizes up) is considered. I do think, based on your photos and short of in person evaluation, that smaller implant would better fit your frame and provide better long term result. Good luck.

Based on the pictures submitted, those seem large. When we see patients for breast augmentation consultation, as part of their examination, we measure the base diameter of their breast along with some other parameters to help determine optimal implant size. Might be a good idea to re visit your surgeon and go over these type of measurements to be sure the 500 cc implants are not too large for you.

Dear jng97,breast implant type and sizing selection is a complicated process and requires a detailed consultation that includes a discussion of your goals, a detailed examination, and a lengthy discussion. But the decision will always start and end with the patient. When it comes to sizing, we have all of our patients find 3 photos of their desired breast size. We ask for naked breast photos because clothing can obscure the true size (push up bras). Next, we consult with patients and go over the photos and take detailed breast measurements during a physical exam. Next, we using a sizing algorithm to determine a range of implants that will work based on the exam and the measurements.Lastly, during the operation, we use silicone sizers in the operating room to see how the size actually looks in the breast. We sit the patient up in the operating room, while asleep of course, and compare the sizer result with their desired look photos. If it is too small, we start the process over with a slightly larger implant. We don't stop until we get the perfect match.Of all of my breast augmentation patients, every one of them has been happy with their size due to this detailed and meticulous process. You don't want to invest time and money into a result that is either too big or too small.You should discuss your concerns with a board-certified plastic surgeon and make sure that your surgeon understands your goals.Daniel Barrett, MD

For someone as petite as you are, a 500 cc saline implant seems surprisingly large - certainly larger than what I typically use for someone of your dimensions.  Might be worth double-checking this with your surgeon.

Thank you for your question and photographs.  Breast implant selection is an exciting, but stressful part of the breast augmentation process as there are so many choices. Unfortunately it is impossible to recommend the best implant style, size or shape without an in-person examination that allows for the measurement of key breast parameters, as well as permits an in-depth discussion as to your desired goals and outcome. In general, a 500cc saline implant is a large augmentation in someone who is narrow chested and has tight tissues, and wishes to limit the risk of rippling. That said without measurements of your breast width, tissue thickness, and the style of implants used it is difficult to offer definite advice.  I would recommend continued communication with your physician to ensure the implants selected are the best based on your desired outcome.
