Is 500cc High Profile Implants the Right Size for Me? (photo)

Your photo shows asymmetry of your breasts both in size and in the position of the nipples. An online opinion can not match the opinion of your surgeon because the critical element for the decision making is the examination and measurement of your breast base width. The choice of high profile versus moderate is also dependent of you desired size and your base diameter. I would suggest that you trust your surgeon or get a second opinion. The breast asymmetry is another subject that has to be carefully considered. You have to accept some asymmetry or have it corrected by a lift.

Thank you for your question and the photos.

It would be impossible to give you an accurate answer based on the limited information provided.  The internet is helpful but in no way replaces a face-to-face consulation and evaluation by a qualified surgeon.

To be sure what is right for you, see two or more board-certified plastic surgeons in your area for a full and complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have surgery.

I hope this helps.

Thank you for photo.  It depends on your measurements if you can handle the 500 cc implant.  You will have to trust the PS you choose to help guide you and make the right decisions.

Thank you for your questions and for your photographs.  From the picture of the model that you submitted you clearly are looking for a fuller volume breast.  Unfortunately based on the pictures and information you have given no one can really guide you online.  The overall balance of the implant will depend on your height, the width of your shoulders, your natural breast volume and your goals.  It will also depend on the balance that you are looking for with the curvature of your hips. As you look at implant sizers think about the relationship of the implant to your entire figure, not just the breast. I recommend that you follow up with your plastic surgeon and try on implant sizers to see which one best achieves your goals.  Some doctors use computer programs, photographs as well to help hone in your goals.  In my own practice I favor trying on actual implants as I feel it gives the closest representation of what you will look like after surgery. A little bit of droop of the natural breast tissue even after breast augmentation is not a bad thing. It often makes the implants look more natural.  Best wishes.

In order to make an accurate size recommendation, I would need to assess your chest wall and breast mound measurements and characteristics.  Unfortunately, there is not a general rule of thumb or objective criteria to implant selection.
Your plastic surgeon will perform several measurements of your chest wall and breast anatomy and determine a range of implants that both fit your chest wall and reach your desired goals.
The next step is to try on this range of implants in the office with your doctor.   The key to this success is showing your surgeon the body proportion you desire with a bra sizer and allowing your surgeon to guide you to the right implant.   It will be much easier to communicate in implant cc's than cup size when determining the appropriate implant for you.
I wish you a safe recovery and fantastic result.
