The nurses said I can't go higher in size. So I am looking to have a lift and implants. My goal is to have a full C or D. They told me the highest I can have is a 450cc low profile. I have lost 226lbs I don't want a heavy implant . I know you can't tell me CC equal cup size can you at least give me an idea what it will put me at size wise? Help me please I have worked hard to get to where I am and I don't want my boobs to look bad. The pictures are what I am hoping to get. Can anyone tell me are they low/mod/high profile?

Answer: Picking the right implant Dear tiffaneyhyde1,Congratulations on your unbelievable weight loss! That is fantastic! Your question does not have a simple answer, and pulling photos of patients who look nothing like you pre-op is not a way at all to evaluate the implant size. If you were coming to see me I would be sure you understood that you will likely require a series of operations to get the best results in the safest way possibly. Your BMI is 30, and this is kind of the cut off where you become a surgical candidate. If you can get down a little more it would be in your best interest, and then you need to be stable for quite some time and be sure you are nutritionally sound so that your body can heal well. My recommendation would be to start with your torso (Belt Lipectomy) and possibly a breast lift. After that surgery has healed I would then explore which implants are best for your new figure and do this as a separate procedure once the others have healed.Trying to pick the implants right now would not be of value in my eyes. Picking implants after your waist is smaller and your breast s are lifted makes way more sense to me. Best of luck,

Answer: Is 450cc low profile gummy bear the right choice? My surgeon isn't telling me. You have done a great job losing weight and can now get a very nice result in breast shape. I personally would do a full lift and allow it to heal for 3 months or more before any breast implants are placed, both to reduce serious healing risks and to have a better idea of what it would take in volume after the shape is corrected.
