I was told at Harley Medical Group yesterday that they would refuse to give me anything bigger then 260cc implants as they would sag fast, and look too big for my body, but everywhere else I have been, they have offered me as high as 300cc? Apart from the Birkdale Clinic.. they offered me 230cc and 260cc as well.

From what iv read if you dont have much breast tissue you cant go too big... Plus you can get stretch marks.. Also think rippling is more noticeable

If you choose a reputable clinic and surgeon your health will not be at risk.

You will most likely find there might be a small variation in implant size suggested by different surgeons, it's then up to you based on the consultation you recieved to then decide which surgeon inspired the most confidence in you and had you walking away understanding everything planned for you and made you feel happy with the decisions made. xx

Actually refused or seriously advised against having anything bigger? Depending on your personal stats there can be more risks of complications with big implants. For example I was advised that as my breast tissue is quite thin anything bigger than 460 would very likely cause rippling even with unders. x

They said 260cc would make me a C or D cup but other surgeons have told me that 285cc would do that..

Different surgeons will say different things.. Is no certainty on any cc taking you to a particular size.

Not all boobs start the same size/end up the same size so you will always get differences in opinion.

Maybe your age might be a factor... They might not want to give you a gigantic bust..

True. I'm just scared of going too big (eg.285cc) or getting a 260cc and only being able to JUST fit into a C cup..

OK, well that's great! You now need to do your own homework on this surgeon hun, don't take anything you're told for granted.

You can check out their qualifications on the GMC register and also why not ask the ladies here if anyone has had their surgery with this person, to possibly get some feedback and also google their name and look for comments from previous patients.

If you're really happy with everything you find, then the next step is to then book a second consultation with the surgeon to again go over the surgery planned for you. If you're still feeling really inspired and happy with the surgeon, then this is the surgeon for you hun. xx

My surgeon didn't point blank refuse to go any bigger but he was very honest about the risks "for me" going bigger.

I was 18 when I had my first BA and I asked to be a D cup, this was a realistic size when you looked at my stats and the surgeon didn't hesitate he chose the size/profile based on my wishes. My age never came into it. x

The difference between those two sizes is about 3 teaspoons, so the difference between the two wouldnt be really noticeable to the untrained eye

The Hospital Group is the Harley sweetie.

Clinics do order in bulk, and have been known to use the cheapest implants available and even cheaper when sold in mass quantities.

Everyone of us is different and size of implant should be based on measurement, and volume size of implant should equate to your individual measurements to get the best results.

Many clinics found in the glossies trade in different names but they are all owned by the same people.

The Hospital Group has many sister companies, that's why its called The Hospital "GROUP"

I think if this is your 1st B.A & as you have not had children then there is only so much stretch in your boob area so you can only fit in the 200 -300cc implants.................

My friend had this as she was only 19 years old & had never had children then her breast tissue would only stretch to the smaller implants & she was gutted as she was a size 12 & way bigger frame then me so she asked why i had gotten bigger implants & the surgon said although i was a size 6-8 i had children & due to this there was more 'room' as my boobs had already been stretched so could take a bigger implant for my sized frame.........he said that after her 1st op her breast tissue would have streched more & she could then have a re-op to go bigger if thats what she wanted but he couldnt fit a bigger implant in her right now.

Age, and whether you have had children has nothing to do with it, its about the measurements of what you have currently.

The measurement is taken underneath where the fold would eventually conceal your scar and across your breast, then the surgeon should refer to a chart and will discuss the cc options that will best fit your frame and measurements he may even use different size implants as often we have one slightly bigger.

You should discuss size with them but a good surgeon will offer you a selection of sizes to meet your individual measurements and may say to you that they will order several and decide once your under anaesthetic.

I was an A cup before my first BA in my early 20's, no children, very slim athethetic figure, i had 375cc and went to a D cup.

5 weeks ago i got my brand new "Twins", 10 years later, no children same toned athletic figure and this time different sizes in each 495cc and 560cc, based on measurements. I went into surgery unaware of exactly what cup size i would end up with i still don't know what bra size iam, all that matters is that i looked the best i could possibly look.

I told my surgeon i would like the biggest implant i could have without making me look ridiculous and that's exactly what he gave me, a very natural look with a great cleavage. This was my forth and final time so i NEEDED him to get it right for me.

It was all about trust, i left the matter of size in his expert hands. But then again i did choose the "President of BAPPS" !!!

Age, and whether you have had children has nothing to do with it. Look at people like Jordan (before the Andre guy)) and other glamour girls who have no children their skin hasnt been stretched to allow more room for bigger implants.

They measure your breast width diameter and the risk is that if the implant is too wide for your chest, (they get wider with each size up) you could be at risk from complications such as symmastia, and less serious ones like general rippling and the Victoria Beckham look lol.

Some surgeons are more conservative than others. I was recommended a maximum of 330cc at the Harley but my surgeon at MYA offered 380 or 410. In the end I pushed for the 410 and they were fine for my frame - there is quite a window of what would be suitable for you. No decent surgeon will offer you an implant that is too big for your frame. xx

Hi Hun ... girls like Jordan didnt just have large implants straight away they had to got up in cc sized implants to end up with boobs that are bigger then there frame.
like i said you cant start with no boobs & have a big implant as htere is not room & your skin wont stretch but in time once your skin in the breast has stretched enought through either having children or starting with the smaller cc then youll be able to have the bigger implants or larger cc...........looking at Katie she has a tiny frame but Had huge boobs & had a fare few to get that size..........

I was told that the fact i had children means my breast tissue is way more stretchy & they can fit in a bigger inplant which on my frame they couldnt have done if I had not had children shrug

I also did say it goes on breast measurments too.........

& im not the only person who was told this as like i said my 19 year old , childless friend who started with small pert A cup breasts size 12 got told she couldnt have bigger implants due to this & that once the 1st smaller cc implants have stretched her breast tissue she could then have a re-op for a bigger size.

Maybe having children increases your breast width measurment ?but I do know it makes a difference.

Im just stating what i was told at my clinice hun & what i have incountered.

Crystal is right - having children does stretch the skin. At both my consultations I was asked if I'd had children and what size I went up to when my milk came in. Having a implant that is too large for the skin will result in stretch marks.

From a tiny A cup , my first size was 375cc this is certainly not starting off small, and i have no stretch marks nor did i have rippling or any other complications in relation to the implant cc being "Too big" for my frame. Elasticity in skin, good hydration, genetic may play a role here.

Having children means nothing!!

To be told start small then increase again sounds like a great way to make money, increase the clinics wealth, clever sales techniques.

Anyone considering surgery should be thinking about doing it once and any surgeon with ethical values would be advising this.
