Breast Implant Size
550 cc is a size that most board certified plastic surgeons are comfortable going up to on the appropriate patient. A physical examination and exploration of your lifestyle, lifestage, and objectives will help you determine if this size is appropriate for you.

You need to be seen first
550 is not that large --- you might be a candidate, but need to be seen first before a decision is made. Now if you are talking about larger than 800ccs --- that can be an issue.

Large(r) implants can be just fine, IF your anatomy allows.
You are short, but if your breast and chest anatomy allows, large implants can give you the results you wish for, though your surgeon must be comfortable with using large implants.
Some surgeons refuse to accept that most women who have implants placed either above or (more commonly) below the muscle will have some degree of implant position drop over time. This is regardless of the implant size, but may indeed happen more readily with larger, heavier implants. Proper pocket...

Implant volumes
Be careful what you wish for. Your chest wall may not handle such a large implant the first go round. An exam in person is key to determine this.

Large breast implants
Size is relative in breast augmentation. Based on your breast width, shoulder morphology and height. After an examination you may very well be a good candidate for this size implant or even larger if your body allows. Do come in for a consultation an evaluation.

Large breast implants in a small frame
The size, style and type of implant should be individualized to each patient. A large implant can be placed but if your tissues won't provide the best coverage then you results will suffer and you may be unhappy. Your best approach is to meet with a few board-certified plastic surgeons and listen to what they recommend for you after having the ability to examine you and take a set of measurements. I hope this helps.

Extra large augmentation
Augmentation is limited by chest width and skin/tissue coverage. The size to which your breasts could be augmented can only be determined at the time of consultation. There are risks in terms of implant extrusion and wound healing that increase exponentially with large implants. In some cases, I recommend a two stage approach or use of tissue expansion. In terms of qualifications, see a board certified plastic surgeon who operates at an accredited facility.

Extra Large Breast Augmentation
If you are having a problem finding surgeons who will perform "extra large breast augmentation" this may be a message that this is generally not advisable. There are definite limitations as to the appropriate size of a breast implant. Size limitations depend on the size of your chest, the available implant sizes made by the manufacturers and the nature of your skin and breast tissue. Very large implants will stretch your skin and thin your breast tissue. ...

Size limitations- Chest and Soft Tissue
The size of an implant is often limited by the chest wall width.- If the chest wall is too narrow it is difficult to place large volume implants--they have a tendency to meet in the middle or drift too far laterally...- however this has been partially addressed with the use of high profile implants that are narrower and stick out more.
The second problem is the soft tissue coverage over the implants....if the breasts are small and do not have alot of soft tissue, the implants...

Extra Large Breast Augmentation?
Thank you for the question.
It is not uncommon for patients to seek “larger” breast augmentation surgery. What can be accomplished will depend on the specific patient's body type and safety concerns (avoidance of complications). There is no specific directory that will point you to surgeons with experience performing “extra-large best augmentation”.
It will be up to you to do your due diligence in the process of plastic surgeon selection...
