Will 500-550 High Profile Silicone Implants Fit my Figure?

Thank you for your question.  Without a photo, your current breast dimensions and skin quality it is difficult to tell if these implants would be too big for you.  I try to have patients focus on "the look" they want rather than cup sizes because cup sizes vary from one manufacture to the next.  Remember that going with larger implants leads to higher reoperative rates and potential for stretch marks and stretching of the skin faster over time.  It sounds like your surgeon understands a dimensional approach so as to fit implants with your frame. 

Always consult with a board certified plastic surgeon experienced in breast augmentation.

Thank you for your question.

Food for thought: 'Bigger is not always Better'.

This is especially true when it comes to breast implants. The larger the implant the sooner you will need some type of revision. Implants are heavy. They can cause chronic pain, stretch and permanently damage tissue.

Beautiful breasts consist of many factors:

Shape, projection, symmetry, skin texture, position on chest wall, etc. Size is the least important. I would strongly suggest visiting the breast augmentation blogs on this site to find out first hand what women with large implants go through every day.

Hope this helps,
