I’m 22 years old, 5’8, size 32AA and 125lbs with mild Pectus Excavatum. Breastfed two children, size 32C while breastfeeding. My nurse thought that 450cc high profile looked great, so did I. I’m now second guessing myself and maybe I’m wanting too much boob because I have none currently? When I was breastfeeding I still would have liked them bigger. I don’t want to regret the size, too big/too small. I’m wanting plenty of boob to hide the dip in my chest! I would like to be a small 32D.

Answer: Breast volume is the choice of the patient whereas implant profile will be determined by the surgeon. In my practice patients choose their breast volume. In order for that size implant to conform to the dimensions of the patient's chest different profiles are available. In your particular case it looks as though a high profile implant would be necessary to give you the 450 mL volume without breaching the diameter of your breasts. High profile implants in my opinion do look somewhat artificial.

Answer: Are 450cc high profile breast implants too big for me and is mild pectus excavatum going to be a problem? Hello and thank you for the question. You should go back for another lengthy discussion with your plastic surgeon. Most plastic surgeons use many modalities including in-bra sizers and goal pictures to select the final implant. Your final result depends on lots of things including your chest wall anatomy, skin envelope, and degree of breast ptosis among others. My best advice is that you communicate your goals and aesthetic ideals with your surgeon as clearly as possible and trust your surgeon's skills and abilities to deliver what you are looking for.
