600 cc implants will increase an average woman's cup size by 3 cups. Usually 200 cc per cup size is a reasonable estimate. If you are already a D, you will be very large with these large implants. A physical exam will be necessary to determine whether you will benefit from a lift. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA
I believe that if you are currently a D cup the use of 600 cc implants is inappropriate. Your breast skin over time may not support the weight of your natural breasts and implants. Dr. ES
In my opinion and even without a photo, I can say that you will be too large with 600cc implants and with implants this size comes the potential for other probems because of the weight. Consider smaller implants for a more reasonable augmentation.
It is very difficult to predict what cup size you will be after your procedure. Cup sizes are not standardized. So a D cup in one designer could be a C cup or B cup in another designer. This is the approach I use to help guide my patients with their implant size selection: I consider two factors when selecting implants for my patients: 1.Dimensional planning 2.Gel Implant Sizing system Dimensional planning – The measurements of your chest wall are taken. Also, the breast dimensions including the height, width, and current dimensions of each breast form the basis of dimensional planning. Based on these measurements, the implant size is recommended. This will give you a unique breast implant that is suited for your body frame. However, there are some limitations of what size we can recommend. For instance, some implants may just be too big for a narrow chest wall. Your surgeon can review this with you during the consultation. Gel Implant Sizing system – During the preliminary breast implant consultation, you will be provided with an option to “try on” a variety of implant shapes and sizes. You can also visualize the possible outcomes of your surgery which helps you to get that perfect size to give you the shape that you longed for. This way your preferences are known and you can then pick a range of implants that will “fit” just right to give a soft natural fuller look. If you have decided on saline implants, then based on the gel sizer you select, we can guide you to the saline implant that achieves a similar look. Hope this helps. Dr. Basu Houston, TX
I cannot tell you what size you will be after placement of 600 cc implants. Different bra manufactors may give you different cup sizes. However, you will be MUCH larger with 600 cc implants. I tell patients to expect an increase of about 1 cup size per 150-200 cc of volume. It is important that you and your plastic surgeon decide if such a large increase is safe and desirable.
