Xl breast implants - Schedule to get implants the end of October. Currently have 750cc silicone and wanting to go between 1400 to 1800cc. Do you think that’s to big for my frame.

Answer: 1400 - 1800 cc implants ? You need a thorough physical exam. Do you want to regret this large an augmentation now or later in life ? I would avoid this. As you age, your skin ( and back, cervical spine) will not tolerate the added weight of the implant resulting in marked stretching and stretch marks. There is frequently a misalignment/asymmetry of the nipples. If you have it done, be certain that the operating surgeon is willing to address the late term problems that you could encounter.

Answer: Breast Implant Revision Dear Mhatt12345,Hello and thank you for your excellent question. It is best to answer your question during a face-to-face evaluation, when you can discuss your goals and expectations for the procedure, and you can have a physical examination to evaluate for that procedure. The size, profile, shape, texture, and type of implant (e.g., saline, silicone, “gummy bear”) is based on your desired versus existing breast size and shape, your chest wall measurements, and soft tissue quality. It is essential that you have an in-person consultation to develop a treatment plan that specifically addresses your personal surgical goals, and your body’s anatomy. I recommend that you find a board-certified, or board-eligible plastic surgeon with whom you are comfortable. Be sure to have all of your questions answered during a face-to-face meeting with your surgeon, and review before and after pictures of similar patients whom have had this procedure. If you have any questions, call our office for assistance. Good luck!
