Implant size
Thank you for your question. I think you have good reason to be concerned. Many surgeons never use high profile implants and 250 cc is a very conservative size for you. I rarely put in an implant less than 270-300cc but for someone your size it would typically require more volume like a 300-350cc implant. You should discuss this with your surgeon, and consider getting a second opinion. Good luck

You need to discuss it with your surgeon, and if he is not willing to go larger, then get a second opinion.
Good luck.

Implants too small?
Thank you for your question and for providing photos. While it is impossible to precisely select an implant size without examining you, I would admit that the implant choice would be of concern to me. It is not the absolute volume of 220cc that is of most concern to me. I would be more concerned with the base width of the implant. A breast augmentation always looks its most natural when the width of the implant matches the chest width. This avoids the big space between the breasts that some...

Best Breast Implants For Me?
Thank you for the question and pictures.
As you can imagine, it is not possible to give you precise advise without direct examination and a full communication of your goals. Having said that, a 220 cc breast implant does seem on the small side. I would suggest you communicate these same concerns with your plastic surgeon; if still in doubt, additional in-person consultations may prove helpful.

High profile implants are more narrow
The two main manufacturers of silicone implants, Mentor and Allergan do not make a 220cc HP implant. You should double check your doctors' recommendation. There is a 200 and a 230cc HP implant from Allergan which are very narrow, 9.7 and 10.0cm respectively. Mentor makes a 200, and a 225cc HP silicone implant. These are also very narrow, 9.7 and 10.1cm, respectively. You do appear to have a narrow chest but I doubt that these implants would fill out the diameter of a breast that...

Choosing an implant size
When a surgeon recommends an implant size, he/she takes into account the patient goals, and any limitations of the patient's anatomy that could affect the appropriate choice.
What I cannot tell is your goal, other than a concern that 220 may be too small. That is a rather small implant for someone 5'6" tall. It would probably increase you by about one cup size from a AA to an A.

I Am 5'6, Size 32A my Surgeon is Recommending 220cc Silicone Implants HP Partially Under?
Over the internet can only guess a size. In my opinion based upon the posted photos I would recommend a 300 to 350 cc UHP MENTOR
