Breast Implants for Taller Woman

In general the taller and more broad you are the larger the implants can be. The moderate profile (Allergan) or moderate plus (Mentor) saline implants are designed to be used for most women. Larger implants are more likely to create better cleavage but this has more to do with the distance between the breasts and the fit of the bra.

Take some photos (internet or magazine) with you of breasts that you like to give your sugeon a better idea of your goals. Good luck!

Need more info

There is more information needed and a plastic surgeon will be the best person to provide you with advice once you have had a history and physical examination. Your height, weight, opposite breast, scars, mastectomy vs lumpectomy, smoking history, need for radiation therapy, etc are all factors that will play an important role in this decision.
