Scottsdale – Bigger breast implants are quite popular. There are some positive effects of bigger breast cups. All plastic surgery patients should consider the breast implant size carefully, as there may be some downsides.

While some patients feel they would like to be as large as possible, everyone should remember that having breast implants requires a long-term commitment. What issues could create a downside with implants during this time?

  • Short women can look “heavy” with bigger breast implants.
  • Thin women experience a loss of breast gland volume from over-sized breast implants, faster.
  • Thinning breast tissue stretches more creating bottoming out of the breasts.
  • Big breast augmentations look acceptable shortly after breast surgery; however, long-term the breast may look worse (and gets worse as time passes).
  • Atrophy of the breasts worsens with time (you loose your breast volume).
  • Excessively large breast implants create over-sized breasts, which may cause neck and back pain.
  • Bigger breast implants stretch your skin more then smaller breast implants.
  • After many years, stretching of tissue can be severe and not totally correctable with more plastic surgery.
