Will 500-550 High Profile Silicone Implants Fit my Figure?
Hello I'm 30yrs old, I stand 5'6" and I weigh 150lbs, my current bust size is 34B. I desire a full D. Went to a consultation Dr told me I have thick breast tissue and any type of implant will look great on me. We started at 425cc mod plus but I wanted to go bigger, Dr said if I go bigger I would have to go to high profile because a bigger mod plus would be too wide for my chest. I tried 475cc & 500cc and I still want bigger. I dnt kno what to do at this point cus I dnt wanna go too too big.

Larger high profile breast implants
You should trust your plastic surgeon. It is easy to get excited about surgery and desire implants that are very large, but this may create more problems for you in the future.

Implant size - how big is too big?
Your breast measurements would be helpful, specifically the width of your breast. The implant should be slightly more narrow than your breast. If the implant is too large, it will fall outside of your natural breast tissue and potentially look more fake and feel far out to the sides.
The moderate plus 500ml implant is around 14cm wide. The high profile is around 13cm, and the ultra high (sometimes called full) is around 12cm. The narrower the style of the implant, the more it sticks out...

500 to 550 cc Implants Will They Fit
If you are a full B and want to go to a full D, 400 cc in the average woman will accomplish this. However, trying on the sizers and getting feedback from your surgeon is far more accurate. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

Choosing implants
Hello. The most important factors for determining the size of implants that could be used on a patient include width of the base of the breast, the size of your thorax and the amount of breast tissue and skin you have. Once a surgeon has this information he could better educate you on what type of implants would work best for you.

Breast implant profiles and volumes
Part of the art of doing breast augmentation is choosing the right profile and the right volume implant for the woman undergoing the surgery. It's pretty impossible for the woman to make that decision by herself because she really has no frame of reference. Most surgeons who do much breast augmentation have developed a pretty good 'eye' for this. Matching the implant width to the width of the breast is usually a good place to start. The profile of the implant chosen...

IMPLANT SIZE
It sounds like your plastic surgeon is looking out for your best interests. Without measurements and photos it is not possible to provide an accurate recommendation. Bigger is not better and may lead to more problems down the road.

Implant appropriate for me?
It is difficult to tell you what would be best for you without an exam. Best to review this with your surgeon.

500 - 550 High Profile Silicone Implants
Thank you for your question. Without a photo, your current breast dimensions and skin quality it is difficult to tell if these implants would be too big for you. I try to have patients focus on "the look" they want rather than cup sizes because cup sizes vary from one manufacture to the next. Remember that going with larger implants leads to higher reoperative rates and potential for stretch marks and stretching of the skin faster over time. ...

Risks and complications with large volume breast implants
Thank you for your question.
Food for thought: 'Bigger is not always Better'.
This is especially true when it comes to breast implants. The larger the implant the sooner you will need some type of revision. Implants are heavy. They can cause chronic pain, stretch and permanently damage tissue.
Beautiful breasts consist of many factors:
Shape, projection, symmetry, skin texture, position on chest wall, etc. Size is the least important. I would strongly suggest visiting the...

Will 500-550 High Profile Silicone Implants Fit my Figure?
Without photos and breast measurements it is not really possible to offer much specific advice. Even with those, our ability to make suggestions is very limited when compared to the surgeon who can actually examine you and have you try on implants.
As a rule, I try not to speak in terms of cup size, because there are no uniform standards. Surgeons on this site who do so often will say that for each 200 cc of implant expect one cup size increase--this is a guideline only.

As you can imagine, despite your good description of body type and goals, it is not possible to give you precise advice online.
The best online advice I can give to ladies who are considering breast augmentation surgery is:
1. Concentrate on choosing your plastic surgeon carefully. Concentrate on appropriate training, certification, and the ability of the plastic surgeon to achieve the results you're looking for. Ask to see lots...
