I Have my Surgery Schedule for Thursday and I Am Wondering if 550cc Saline High Profile is Too Big?

I went to my consultation with dr. Jacob Frieman from Miami fl. and he was very nice and seemed like he knew his stuff. I told him that I wanted big Breast however nothing that would look ridiculous. I have a previous pregnancy so my breast are not as perky as before. He recommended that I get 550cc high profile. Which I agreed because he seem very confident that it would give me the look I wanted. Now I'm wondering is that too big? I am 5'2 and 120lbs.. I just don't want to look ridiculous

Sizing your augmentation

Thank you for joining the forum and asking the experts below. I agree with most of what was said. On average, I perform around 700 to 900 breast surgeries per year and as a plastic surgeon it is vital that I continue the learning process. The input from the surgeons below is invaluable. With regard to the size of the implants, my technique for sizing depends on 2 things. 1. The discussion which includes what the patient hopes for and wants which is not always possible and 2. sizing.

What is the cup size that you are going for?

Hello, For your height 550ml implants would give you a solid 2+ cup size increase which means that if you are a B cup you will be in the full D cup range.

All the best, Dr Remus Repta

Are 550cc saline high profile implants too big?

550cc implants are very large, particularly in someone 5'2". Saline implants do not generally look as natural as silicone gel implants and they are usually more projecting. High profile implants are even more projecting. In my opinion high profile saline implants of that size are about the most unnatural-appearing implants you could chose, so unless you are looking for a very bulgy, very unnatural result, I would reconsider and perhaps get a second opinion.

Implant chioce 550 cc HP?

The best way to select the appropriate implant for you is during an exam and a review of your goals. Without that basic information it is difficult to offer suggestions. Good luck.

The most important thing though is that you're comfortable.... more

550 cc too large?

Without a photo, some measurements, and an idea of current cup size, and the peak size you were during pregnancy, it would be hard to venture a guess that will be any use to you. Given your height and weight, it sounds like a large implant. I would suggest that with an implant that large that you weight the pros and cons of silicone gel. Best wishes.

550 cc breast implants are too large for most women.

Hi. We never use implants bigger than 500 cc's, and that rarely. Particularly for someone who is 5'2" tall and weighs 120 pounds. I am afraid you will not look natural.
