Going from 425 mod profile to 600-750 hp? (photo)

Part of a surgeons job is to do what is, in their opinion, best for the patient. Unfortunately, sometimes the right thing for a surgeon to do isn't always what a patient thinks they want. The body has limitations. It is likely that your surgeon is recommending what he/she feels is the best to achieve a good outcome for you now and in the long-term. Best Wishes!

Thank you for your question and for providing the photos. It is impossible to make any definitive choices based on photos alone, but I can offer some thoughts. There are some limits regarding the maximal implant size that your body can fit. The issues that determine this include the overlying skin and soft tissue, and the width of your chest and breast. When the limits of either of these two factos are exceeded, the results can be unnatural and distorted.

It is also important to think in 3 dimensions when thinking about breast implant selection. Your current breast implants have a width of 13cm with 4.5 cm of projection. Changing to a high profile silicone implant will give you more projection, but also more width. The  750cc high profile implant has a width of 15.1 cm and a projection of 5.9 cm. This is a significant increase in width, which could lead to excess superior fullness and nipples located at the lower portion of the breast. In addition, your skin has to have enough elasticity and excess to accommodate the extra projection that you are hoping for.

I would suggest continued dialog with your plastic surgeon. If you are uncomfortable with his recommendations, then sometimes a second opinion can be helpful. Keep in mind that there are some limits, and that the ultimate goal should be breasts that are beautiful and not just big.

Best of luck with your breasts.
