I want a full, round D/DD. Is 545cc boost moderate high too heavy/big? (Photos)

Question

I’m scheduled for my first breast augmentation at the end of November and worried about choosing implants that may be too big or heavy for my frame. My current stats: * Height: 5’5” * Weight: 126 lbs * Breast base width: 14 cm * Relaxed underbust: 27.8” * Standing bust: 32.2” * Leaning bust: 34” * Nipple-to-fold: 6 cm left / 6.5 cm right * Sternal notch-to-nipple: 20 cm left / 19 cm right * Sternal notch-to-waist: 13.2” * Sternal notch-to-belly button: 16” * Shoulder-to-waist: 19.5” I’m considering Mentor MemoryGel Boost implants and want a full, round D/DD look with noticeable upper-pole fullness and cleavage, but nothing gigantic or overly projected from the side. I’m concerned about implants being too heavy for my frame and long-term sagging or bottoming out. For anyone with similar stats, what CC and profile worked best for you? I’d love to hear your experiences!

Hi there,
Honestly, for your frame, 545cc is on the large side, and your worries about weight and bottoming out are fair ones. At 5'5", 126 lbs and a 14 cm breast width, I'd usually start lower and see how close that gets you to your goal.
Here's why:
- A 545cc implant in that profile is about as wide as your breast or wider. Implants that fit within your breast width look more natural and put less strain on the tissue over time.- Your 6 cm nipple-to-fold distance means a large implant usually needs the fold lowered. Then the risk of the implant dropping too low, or a "double bubble," goes up.- Heavier implants on thin tissue are more likely to stretch, sag or show rippling down the road.- A full, round look with upper fullness often comes from a slightly higher profile on a narrower base, placed under the muscle, rather than from more cc.- Cup sizes vary a lot between brands, so plan by shape and fit, not a letter.
Try sizers in a sports bra and a fitted shirt, and ask about 3D imaging such as Crisalix to compare a smaller option side by side with 545cc. An in-person exam is needed for personal advice, so go over these measurements with your board-certified plastic surgeon before November.
All the best!
