Anyone out there have 700 - 800cc implants?

I have 800cc mentor cohesive shaped implants.  My bra size is a 38 C. Although the front projection is not as good as my remaining breast.  The size is a good match.  In a bra, the cleavabe is a great match for my own breast.  I am not a tiny girl.  Thats why 800cc on me is a C cup.  If you put 800cc on a tiny petite girl, the cup size would be lots larger.  For example,  my daughter is a  tiny girl.  Size 3.  She wears a 32DD or DDD. Her own breasts, thank goodness.  If however, you were to compare our breasts (off of our bodies)  (sorry, I don't want to be gross).  Hers are really no larger than mine.  I don't think there is a direct correlation between cc's and cup size,  It depends on a lot of other sizes and measurements.  My PS totally decided what size I needed, and I feel he did a good job.  He filled the expander to 800cc, and replaced it with a 800cc implant.  He did order 4 different sizes though to take into to surgery to make the final decision.  He said, after putting in implant in, he sat me up on the OR table to see how the match looked in the vertical position, before finishing the surgery.  Hope this helps, it is all very confusing.

I have a 800cc style 20 by allergan and I am a D cup.  I have a round silicone implant and it is a great match in a bra to my natural breast.  prior to all of this I was a 38 DD but with some weight loss a 38 D works well.

Implants are wider than a natural breast and it is difficult to fill out the cup with projection. With my first implant I was still a D wide but only a B/C cup therefore it was impossible to match my normal breast with a bra so I had to stuff it. My first implant was a style 410 gummy and 740cc and a projection of 6.2.  The funny thing is that my new implant is only a 6.1 projection but because it is round it fills out the cup more.

Remember that expanders are very different than the implant for shape and projection. The key is good communication with your PS and let them now the projection you want to match with the implant and ask lots of questions.

It is all a bit confusing even with different implant giving different results. Have you talked about what implant you will get? 

Hey there--so much of the size issue depends on your body frame, rib cage, ete.  I have 700 implants--mentor high profile silicone.  I'm 5-3ish and weigh 150 lbs.  I'm a full C cup or small D.  I would recommend high profile for projection.  If you're looking for a little droop & jiggle--over expanding helps--it also helps to eliminate the bocci ball look.  Good luck--Erin

Thank you for posting this discussion. I have questions related to the 800cc implants also.  I am 5'9'' 170 lbs and my PS is recommending the larger implants (800cc).  My tissue expanders are currently overfilled to 840cc's and my boobs look a little lumpy and they are definitely into the armpit area.  The PS states my body frame dictates the larger size and that he can keep the implants "pinned" into the middle of my chest and out of the armpit region.  I'm worried that these things will look like melons if I lose any weight.  I thought the expanders looked best at 720cc's but the PS told me that the implants don't replicate the look of the expanders and that I should go a little larger, thus 800cc.  He also told me that some patients wished they had gone larger while none of his patients felt they needed a reduction.  Any thoughts?

I'm not sure what you mean about the fluid. I had some real shoulder  and back pain as the expander got that big, and my PS sent me for physical therapy. I went several times, and also did the exercises at home. It got OK, so I was able to put up with it until the exchange. Why don't you ask about that?  Also, I guess I do have a nice droop; I'm lucky I had such a skilled - and nice - PS!

Could someone direct me to the picture forum? I would really like to see results that are real, not just what I have found on the internet. I want to have realistic expectations about what my implant reconstruction will look like when I am done.

Thanks so much.

I have a 700 cc implant in my left side and the real thing on my right. I have good symmetry and I am a 40 C.

I have been told by my PS that I will be over 900 cc when done with the fills. I won't be able to get the silicone due to size since they silicone only goes to 800 cc. He said he will have to use saline and pump them up to fit. Anyone have the expanders filled this high?

Believe,

I will not be going with the 800cc because my PS suggested I go larger to look more proportioned. Thanks for your concern.

yes - 800cc. Last fill and swap out finally set for October 27. My right expander failed in August so I had an emergency surgery that put me behind. My double mastectomy was in February. I cannot wait. This last month has been hell. Everything hurts or is extremely uncomfortable. I feel like I'm lugging cement filled balloons. And just getting really depressed. I have no energy and barely leave the house. Is this normal?

This surgery is as a result of a second primary tumor diagnosis last November. Just shy of five years.
