Breast Implant Sizing Is Important
The size of the implant used depends upon many factors, the size of your chest, the tightness of your skin, the size of your breasts, and certainly, where you would like to end up. Your chest looks large enough to handle a 550-600 cc implant well.
I use an empty implant (called a sizer) at surgery to assess the effect of different volumes. It takes some of the guess work out of choosing the best size.
The difficulty with any patient is choosing what size she might...

Size of breast implant
Thank you for the question and the photos. The choice of implant for breast augmentation is a very important decision and should be determined carefully before surgery to avoid dissatisfaction. The choice implant depends on multiple factors, your breast measurements, skin elasticity, what you want etc. All this is determined during the consultation.

You should try on the implants in the office
Hello,
One of the most important decisions for breast augmentation is implant size. I would recommend that you decide on a cup size that you want to achieve and then try on the range of implants that would generally be used to accomplish that cup size. 600 ml implants will generally give you a D+/DD given your preop cup size of B.
All the best,
