I am 5'6" tall; I weigh 120lbs; and I have 29" ribcage with 34B breast size pre-op. My PS and I have decided on 500cc high profile breast implants that will be placed under the muscle. I will be having the surgery in 3 days. Now I am concerned that 500cc may look too big for me. I tried 500cc sizers on with many shirts that I usually wear now, and I thought they look good, but I am still a little confused. Will I experience complications with this size?

Answer: Larger sized breast implants It is normal to have some anxiety preoperatively with regards to breast size postop and size of implants selected. Please realize that while you could probably pull off a 500 cc implant, you will look quite projected and very augmented - so make sure that this is the "look" you are going for! Implants in the shirt is a notoriously inaccurate way to select implant size and is only a rough measure at best. You should absolutely call your plastic surgeon to discuss your fears before having surgery. Good luck

Answer: You will look quite large with 500cc breast implants 500 cc implants (especiall high profile) will give a lot of projection. There is nothing wrong with that provided you want to be a very generous size. In my practice, the average breast implant (chosen by the patient) is around 300cc moderate profile. This makes the final cup size around a "C". I will occasionally use implants as large as 500, but this is most uncommon.
