Breast size after reconstruction

That's really tough to answer because of your size.  I have the biggest implants they make--850 cc's, but they're only a B to C cup at the most.....then again, I'm not a tiny, small frame woman.  Of the women I have talked to, the size has varied greatly.  I'm sure 850 cc's would look absolutely huge on you, but on me they are just so-so.  I had a small D cup prior to cancer.  What size does your doctor recommend?  Have you asked to see the various size implants he has?  Sometimes holding them can give you an idea of what to expect.  As far as how much to inject, well that's just as tricky cause your doctor will want to over fill you a bit.  My doctor filled me to 1150 cc's just to put 850 in.  Wanted to make sure he had enough extra tissue to close around the implant incase there was some type of problem.  He should know exactly how much saline to inject, or how big to take you since he's done this type of procedure on other women of your size.

Good luck!

My Dr injected a little over 650cc in both sides and I am a comfortable C cup. I left all of that decision to my Dr. He is the professional and I trust him.

I am 5'6" tall I weigh 143 (135 at time of my last surgery)I am a young 62, but your skin starts to thin and sage at this age. I am mediam build I have wide shoulders. I was a C cup previes tom my mastectomies. I wasen't sure where I was going but I ended up sith full D's (bra size 36 D). I had 400 cc in left and 500 cc in right when I came out of my first surgery from the mastectomies. My Dr injected me twice, one on the left to take me to 500 cc on the left when my brest wast healed (my left brused badly so the didn't fill it up all the way). Two weeks later they took me to 600 cc and left me there till my next surgery. My final implants are 650 cc each and are perfect. The left seems just a little bigger to me than the right but you can't see it looking at me, I can just feel it. It has taken me a year to get use to my cup size. Had to purchas new tops and some of my old ons that fit me just don't look right.

Dr. said it's a hard call, I believe it has to do with your chest with and broda ness of sholders and ribs. I'm now gald I went with the bigger size because the stretch marks I had before are not visable and there is no louse skin on my breasts. I have tatoos for nipples which are beautify. They mad nipples but they disapeared and went flat in about two months. It's ok because I'm still beautiful with my clothes off and they look really like a young woman's breasts.

Have tkae to at least to 600 cc if you now wear a med or large blouse is my recomendation. But try and trust your doctor. Mine seemed to know what he was doing and I have cleave all the time with out help from a bra.

Hope this helps I remember this was a hard decision for me, I'm the one that has to live with it and carry them around all the time.
