Surgeon refused 450cc & 500cc, says I’ll lose my implants if I push it…

Idk if anyone will actually read this, but I just had my final consultation and I feel so lost.

I asked my surgeon for 500cc high profile implants, but he told me they’re way too big for my body and absolutely won’t fit. Then I asked for 450cc HP instead because I really think 400cc is too small—but he said even 450cc wouldn’t fit either.

I begged him for a long time, but he told me that with my body type, they could literally rip out. He said I have very little breast tissue, and the biggest issue is that my skin is firm and perky, not stretchy or saggy—so the pocket might not even close during surgery, or it might not stay closed after. He said the stitches probably wouldn’t hold, and I’d risk major complications, maybe even losing the implants entirely.


Eventually, I told him to just go for it anyway, and he made me sign a document saying I understand the risks. I’m honestly heartbroken. I’ve been saving for three years, and I’ve wanted this for over a decade.


He told me that 400cc Moderate Plus would be the safer choice, and that if I “gain logic,” I should call him to switch to that. But I feel like they’re just too small for what I want… I’m scared I’ll regret going smaller, but I’m also scared to lose the implants if something goes wrong.

For reference I am: 5"4 height

110 lbs weight, 13cm breast base width 

6cm nipple to fold

If anyone out there has been through something like this, please reach out. I don’t know what to do. Part of me feels like he’s being overly conservative because he already ordered the 400ccs, and doesn’t want to reorder the others… but now I’m just really confused.
