I am 5 feet tall and currently weigh 112 pounds. As of right now I have saline implants. Left 325cc and right 250cc. I want be like a full d. I booked my appt and was deciding between the 500 to 600cc high profile silicone range. The doctor suggested high profile because of the narrowness of my chest. I'm scared I'm going too big. I don't like the fake round look of breast implants I wanted more natural but I don't want to compromise size. Just looking for some suggestions.

Answer: Is 500-600cc too big for 5ft, 110lbs? Dr. Pousti is correct in that only an in-person exam can best help you with your decision. However, at 5 feet tall, and not over-weight, my experience tells me that 500-600 cc is likely too big for you. There are a couple of issues here. First off, at 5 feet tall you probably have a short chest and short waist-line. Breasts that are too large for your particular frame will then make you look overweight even though you are not. The second issue is the high profile implants. The high profile implants provide more volume in a "package" with a lesser diameter than lower profile implants. So in women with a narrow chest wall, it can allow the surgeon to give you more volume than lesser profile implants. However there is a trade-off (there are ALWAYS trade-offs). The take-off (where the breast "starts") is often higher than "normal". This is especially a problem in someone who is only 5 feet tall. So the breast looks "done". And from what you have said, that is not what you want.I cannot make any absolute suggestions here. But I would recommend that you seek out a few other consultations. In particular find someone who will help "size" you. That means helping you determine the size you find acceptable by adding inserts to your bra and allowing you to determine what is best for you.Good luck.
