The Bigger the Implant, The Bigger the Risk
No one will know. Everyone will notice™
It’s a common belief that bigger implants lead to better results, but bigger isn’t always the right choice.
When considering implant size, numerous factors must be taken into account, including your physical frame, anatomy, and skin health, among others. It’s also crucial to understand the potential risks associated with selecting larger implants.
I advise my patients that the bigger the implant, the bigger the risk. But what do I mean by that?
Do You Know the Facts About Implants?
According to the American Board of Plastic Surgery, if a patient desires an implant over 350 ml, it’s often recommended to do the procedure in two stages.
Why Do Bigger Implants Mean Bigger Risk?
Because managing risks is paramount in achieving a successful outcome. Rushing into anything too fast or too aggressively can increase the likelihood of complications down the road.
As with any surgery, complications are always a possibility. That’s why your Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon should counsel you on what implant sizes are safest for your unique anatomy.
I am not implying that you can’t go bigger, but being hypervigilant will be key to maintaining an excellent outcome.
