How Much Does Ksl Hair Transplant Cost In Edinburgh

I've scheduled a breast enlargement for 2021. My doctor suggested 600cc implants to take me from a 32B to an E cup. However, I'm unsure if this size will suit my frame. I don't want the implants to be too small, but I'm also concerned about whether 600cc will be too large and lead to complications. For reference, I'm 18, weigh 60kg, and am 5'6" tall, currently a 32B. I'm aiming for an E cup.

Based on your height and weight, a 600cc implant would be considered large. When selecting an implant size, one useful measurement is the base width of your breast, which determines how wide your current breast is. It is generally recommended to choose an implant diameter that is within 1cm of the base width. Additionally, skin stretch should be considered, as tighter skin may have difficulty accommodating a larger implant. It is also important to think about the long-term effects of larger implants on skin stretch and potential drooping over time. From a surgical standpoint, it is usually easier to upsize implants in the future rather than trying to downsize. I hope this information helps guide your decision-making process.

Hello, thank you for your question. Without proper photos and a physical examination, it's difficult to determine the correct implant size. I suggest consulting with a board-certified plastic surgeon who can guide you based on measurements of your chest wall and breast imprint width, as well as knowledge of available breast implant sizes and profiles. This will help make the process easier and more accurate.

The implant size you're considering is large and will increase your cup size significantly, providing a full look. It's important to use good support as the implants are heavy and may sag over time. Your surgeon has examined you and discussed your goals, so they can guide you in selecting the best implant for you.

It is important to choose an implant size that fits your frame. Implants that are too large can cause atrophy of native breast tissue over time and create an unbalanced, top-heavy appearance. Have a discussion with your plastic surgeon and consider seeking a second opinion if needed.
