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

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.

 Thank you for the question and pictures.  You will find that online consultants will not be able to provide you with with precise enough advice.  I would suggest that you not rely too heavily on any specific advice you receive online.

The best online advice I can give to ladies who are considering breast augmentation surgery is:



1. Concentrate on choosing your plastic surgeon carefully.  Concentrate on appropriate training, certification, and the ability of the plastic surgeon to achieve the results you're looking for. Ask to see lots of examples of his/her work.




2. Have a full discussion and communication regarding your desired goals  with your plastic surgeon. This communication will be critical in determining  breast implant size/type/profile will most likely help achieve your goals. 
In my practice, the use of photographs of “goal” pictures (and breasts that are too big or too small) is very helpful. I have found that the use of words such as “natural”  or “D cup”  or "proportionate to my body size” etc means different things to different people and therefore prove unhelpful.
 Also, as you know, cup size varies depending on him who makes the bra; therefore, discussing desired cup  size may also be inaccurate.





3.  Once you feel you have communicated your goals clearly,  allow your plastic surgeon to use his/her years of experience/judgment to choose the breast implant size/profile that will best meet your goals.  Again, in my practice, this decision is usually made during surgery.
