Does 1600cc silicone implants will be too projected on me? Will it be too big? ( i don't like the feel of saline implants)

Question

Hello,I'm 6'2 and I already have breast silicone breast implants implants (500cc, low profile,15,3/ 4.2cm),too narrow for me. I want a fuller breast, but most of all a natural looking larger breast. My PS gave me 2 choices, 1050cc Motiva high profile silicone implants (15cm/7.8cm) but they are even narrower than my actual ones. And 1600cc silicone custom made (19cm/9.5cm) because i need 19/20 cm wide implants and it's all that exists...Do you think it will be too much for the look that i want?

Thank you for the question. You will find that online consultants will not be able to provide you with specific advice in regards to selection of specific breast implant size/profile.  Ultimately, careful communication of your goals (in my practice I prefer the use of goal pictures, direct examination/communication in front of a full-length mirror, and computer imaging) will be critical. Generally speaking, the best online advice I can give to ladies who are considering revisionary 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. Have a full discussion and communication regarding your desired goals with your plastic surgeon. This communication will be critical in determining 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 looking larger breast” or "D or DD cup” or "a fuller breast" 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. 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 ( after the use of temporary intraoperative sizers). Viewing the patient's chest wall in the upright and supine positions, with temporary sizes in place, help select the best breast implant size/profile for the specific patient.I hope this, and the attached link (dedicated to larger breast augmentation surgery concerns), helps. Best wishes.

The two sizes you mentioned are very large and heavy implants that may apply too much weight to your neck and shoulders and breast tissue. I would suggest going back to your surgeon and realistically discuss what size would be best for your tissue and frame. Large implants sitting on your lap do not look good.
