Would You Recommend 650cc HP or 550cc Mod +? (photo)
Drs are requesting repost with photos so here it is. I'm switching from saline to silicone, measure 14 diameter with current 480cc mods saline. Need more fullness to correct loose skin and ripples. Not noticeable until bend over. I lost 37 lbs went from 36DD (VS bra) to 34D-DD (padded bra) more like a large c I think. Is 650 cc hp too big ? My friends all think so and are scaring me! Don't want torpedoes or cant elopes! My currents are under the muscle

Implant exchange to 650cc HP
It is difficult to say without an exam. With the weight loss and looseness that you describe, perhaps a circumareola skin removal to slightly tighten the skin envelope may help +/- slightly larger implants. Difficult to say without an exam.

Upsizing after weight loss
Only you can decide if the larger volume will work for you. Gel implants will help diminish the rippling but if you are very thin, Sientra implants may work better for you at addressing the ripple issue. Larger implants will have a tendency to stretch your skin out over time and eventually, you may need a lift to address that. I think your chest looks great as it is but I admit, I cannot appreciate the rippling. So put a sizer over your breast that will provide you...

650cc high profile, 550cc moderate +
Dear Lisa,
Let me first commend you on the great shape that you maintain. After a weight loss you will likely require larger implants to fill your breast skin envelope, especially if you are avoiding a lift. Although having similar base diameters, the differences between a 650cc hp and 550cc mod + are significant in terms of projection and should be discussed with your plastic surgeon. Good luck!

I think at least a 600 cc HP unders is the compromise. But if you want that "large" look than 650 cc is an option for you.

Implant selection is a dynamic process
Hello,
Thank you for the question and photos. The most important factor in achieving the result that you desire with an implant replacement is in depth discussion about your goals with your plastic surgeon. Based on the photos alone and your current implants my gut feeling is that HP 650 will be too much. You plastic surgeon can have both implant in the operating room and place implant sizers before placing the final implant to determine the best result. I think...

Bigger implants = more problems
Your tissues don't have great elasticity already and going bigger, either HP or Mod+ will make this worse, not better. You will be progressively thinning the tissues and losing more elasticity with this proposed exchange.
