Is a 660cc High Profile Implants Right for Me?

Question

I am 5'10" and I weigh 220 pounds. I am very well built with wide shoulders and wide chest. My current bra size is 42A and they look "empty." I am opting for a 600cc high profile silicone implants. Do you think this would sound about right for me.

Hi there-
 
I think it is very important for you to find a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and discuss your goals carefully. After an examination, and with an understanding of your goals, they will present you with some options and an understanding of the advantages and disadvantages of each. 
Based on this approach, the implants you describe would be the right choice for very few women and would be associated with a few elevated risks over the longer term...
Again, I think you should find a surgeon you like and trust and discuss your options carefully.

There are many ways to accomplish or estimated breast sizing that are available on the internet and I would look into these.
This is clearly a larger than average implant. However, your body dimensions are not average and in light of this, it could be considered a proportionate implant. There are other factors that contribute to the suitablility of this implant for your body type and this includes base diameter, breast constriction, ptosis (sagging), skin envelope, etc.
Make this decision in conjunction with your plastic surgeon.

The size and shape of your natural breast will somewhat help to determine the type of implant to use.  Given your hight and weight a 600 cc implant does not seem overly large and could very well work for you.  
Have a frank talk with your surgeon and let him know what you want an he or she will make reccommendation about type and size of implant to accomplish your goals.

The best way to determine which implant is right for you would be to take a comprehensive history and then examine you. 
The base width of your breast will help determine an implant style which is right for you. You may be better served by a moderate profile implant that fits your frame. 
I allow my my patients to size with the actual implant in a sports bra to give you an idea of what you like accompanied by the info from your exam.

While some women like small implants and others like big implants, the best implant size for you is the one meets your body image. There are certain measurements that have a bearing on what are reasonable limits on the best maximum size such as the base diameter of your breast as compared to the base diameter of the implant. The high profile have a narrower base diameter and there for you could have a larger implant size with a smaller base diameter. Make sure your plastic surgeon discusses these issues with you and lets you see different size implant in a bra. Then you make your own decision what is the right size for you.
