I am 25 years old and have 2 kids after my first child I lost all my breast tissue and had my first augmentation in 2006. 390cc saline is what I have. Since I am replacing them now, I have extra skin from my second baby but no sagging just want a bigger outcome but dont wanna look like a [RS bleep] star.
I was told 550 high profile was all I could get and 600cc wouldn't fit my chest by one doctor and the other told me I could fit 700cc. Which one should I listen to?

Answer: IT'S TOO MUCH
Thank you for your question "YoungMomOf2Girls". I think that there are nor "rules" in breast implant surgery.
I would like to give you my opinion (considering that the unique problem at this moment is volume and not other..(f.e. sagging):
Attending to the "average" size we use in breast augmentation (in Spain), 550-700cc implants size is too much.
Attending to your height (5,5ft=167cms) and weight (130lbs=59Kgs) I think implant size is quite large.
But appart from this 2 facts, the most important things making your decission are:
What do you really want (if technically possible)?...your new bra size would be almost twice than in 2006.
As your "maximum basal prosthese diameter" surely had been reached in your 2006 augmentation mammoplasty (for example 12,5cms -4.92 inches-), your new "augmentation mammoplasty project" (both 550-700) will increase the "PROJECTION" without altering width and height of the implant base... This usually is not an aesthetically pleasant result.
Which are your expectations in a near future?...you will need more surgeries due to the excess size...
CONCLUSION: It's a personal choice -if technically it's possible-. I recommend you not to exceed 450grs.

Answer: Huge Implants
550 - 600 cc implants are very large implants for anyone, particularly someone your size. I would submit that you are already paying the price for large implants the first time. Switching to silicone implants should make your breasts feel softer, but a dramatic size increase at this point will further atrophy your soft tissues in the years to come. I would proceed very cautiously about a size increase and consider a lift if the breast skin needs adjustment.
