I Had a Bilateral Mastectomy and my Surgeon Suggests 550cc Expander Inflation

SJTE
I Had a Bilateral Mastectomy and my Surgeon Suggests 550cc Expander Inflation so that my breasts arent too far apart. I am 5'2 and feel that breast will be too large. I do NOT want large breast in fact before my mastecomy I had a breast reduction and still felt by breast were too big at a C cup. What size will I be at 500cc or 550cc? His nurse also suggest that I keep expanding to 600cc. I dont think they are listening to me that I want to be porportionate but dont want large breast.
