Will the 300cc to 350cc high profile silicone implants look too heavy on me, and will it give me the ideal look I want? (photos)

Recommending implant sizes based on photos alone is a bit tough.  But based on your height, weight and photos anything from 300 to 350 would likely be a reasonable choice.  You should work with your plastic surgeon using sizers as well as 3D computer imaging to help you make your choice.  Best of luck!

Bring some bras in the range of sizes you'd like to be during your consultation. You can then try on sizers that can give you an idea of what size would be most suitable. Based on the info you've provided, the sizes you are thinking about may achieve a natural looking result.Generally, dual plane placement does not substantially make you "lose a few cc's".Please see an experienced board certified plastic surgeon to help you determine what implants would be best for your body.  

Thank you for your question. It is much better to accurately discuss implant volume and projection with an in office exam and detailed measurements. In order to make an accurate size recommendation, I would need to assess your chest wall and breast mound measurements/characteristics. I use these measurements to help me during the sizing process to guide you to a safe result for your chest wall and just as important, one that meets your end desires.The next step is to try on this range of implants in the office with your doctor. The key to this success is showing your surgeon the body proportion you desire with a bra sizer and allowing your surgeon to guide you to the right implant. It will be much easier to communicate in implant cc's than cup size when determining the appropriate implant for you during the sizing process. In addition, review of photos and use of rice bags can be very helpful to the patient and surgeon in achieving a safe and happy result. Close intereaction and involvement from your surgeon during this process can help alleviate the anxiety and fears of choosing the right size. I wish you a safe recovery and fantastic result.Dr. Gill

Breast implants that are between 300 and 350 mL based on your measurements should be moderate in size and should not result in a very top-heavy look.  A physical examination and actual measurements of the breast dimensions is important before making a final decision.   Three-dimensional digital imaging in your surgeon's office can help you decide whether they will provide the ideal for you.  That part is subjective and having a tool which will give you a good estimate on how you would appear with different sized implants is very useful. 

To choose the best implant for a particular patient many factors need to be taken into consideration. First it is very important for your surgeon to carefully listen to your goals, objectives and concerns. Runners and women who regularly engaged in athletic activities tend to choose smaller implants in their size range. During the course of the physical examination it is important to take note of the base diameter of the breast, whether or not there is any sag present and the position of the nipple areolar complex. Unfortunately it is difficult to provide you with an accurate assessment without the ability to see and examine you. With that said however it appears from your photographs that a range between 300 cc and 350 cc would be fine. Fortunately the difference of 50 cc does not make a great deal of difference in most patients. Most of the time the last 50 cc shows up more in the upper portion of the breast giving the appearance of more fullness in the top of the breasts. Most women prefer some fullness in this area. Over time however some of this fullness may diminish as the breast envelope stretches and some of the volume ends up lower. In general it is more likely will look back and wished they would have selected and implanted in the upper end of their size range. When trying to consider the impact of the additional 50 cc it may be helpful for you to utilize external sizing implants with a sports bra so that you can help visualize the difference in this size range. Vectra 3-D imaging is also helpful in this type of situation. It is more likely that the dual plane technique will provide you with more projection of the nipple areolar complex and shaping of the lower part of your breast. I don't think that you need to factor in the dual plane technique when choosing your implant. Based on the information provided you are well positioned for an excellent result. Good luck.

Thank you for the question and pictures. Based on your photographs, you are starting at a great place and should have a very nice outcome with breast augmentation surgery.   In regards to more specific advice, despite good intentions, online consultants will not be able to  very helpful.  Careful measurements, dimensional planning, and careful communication will be key.
Generally speaking, the best online advice I can give to ladies who are considering  breast augmentation surgery ( regarding breast implant size/profile selection) is:
1. Concentrate on choosing your plastic surgeon carefully.  Concentrate on appropriate training, certification, and the ability of the plastic surgeon to achieve the results you are looking for. Ask to see lots of examples of his/her work.  2.  Again, have a full discussion and communication regarding your desired goals with your plastic surgeon. This communication will be critical in determining which operation and/or breast implant size/type/profile will most likely help achieve your goals.
In my practice, the use of photographs of “goal” pictures (and breasts that are too big or too small) is very helpful. I have found that the use of words such as “natural” or "C cup" or "top heavy" etc means different things to different people and therefore prove unhelpful.
 Also, as you know, cup size varies depending on who makes the bra; therefore, discussing desired cup  size may also be inaccurate.   Therefore, I ask that my patients not base their communication preoperatively OR  their satisfaction with the outcome of surgery postoperatively, on achieving a specific cup size. The use of computer imaging may be very helpful during this communication phase.
3.  Once you feel you have communicated your goals clearly,  allow your plastic surgeon to use his/her years of experience/judgment to choose the breast implant size/profile that will best meet your goals.  Again, in my practice, this decision is usually made during surgery.  The use of temporary intraoperative sizers, viewing the patient's breasts in the upright and supine position, are very helpful during the breast implant selection process.
I hope this, and the attached link, helps.  Best wishes.

Everyone when choosing implant size and style need a full exam to have several measurements done by your surgeon to assist in the final choice.With that said based on your description and photos anything in the 300-350 range would likely be fine .I personally don't feel one loses significant volume with dual plane approach

It is hard to answer your question without a direct examination.  Based on your height and weight 3 or 50 cc high profile implants should not look unusually large.  For more formation on choosing breast implant size please read the following link:
