Are 320 cc Natrelle Inspira low profile silicone implants going to be enough?

Question

I'm currently a large, saggy large D/small DD. Going in for a lift w/implants. I Def ant to be full again. I have a good amount of breast tissue but i'm nervous the low profile wont fill me in enough but my PS suggested a 290 cc low profile. I chose to go a little bigger but I want to make sure the low profile will be ok. I don't want huge round boobs. Looking for more of a natural look. Any thoughts?

Hello and thank you for your question. Honestly, a formal in-person evaluation would be needed to determine the best treatment. There are several reasons for this: 
1) Bra sizes vary based on the clothing store (for example, Victoria's Secret tends to upsize everyone by a whole cup size)
2) Most women do not wear the proper exact fitting bra size for their bodies
3) The exact volume (in cc) needed to change cup size is different for different body types (e.g. 32A to 32D requires a different implant size than 38A to 38D)
4) Be careful NOT to fall into the trap most women do- they see a certain implant size (e.g. 285 cc) or perhaps their friend had a certain size, and they want or request this or another size based on that. Everyone's body is different- 285 cc implants on your friend might look VERY different than they would on you. Be very careful not to make this mistake, because the goal is to find the right size and shape for YOU- for your particular body and your breasts.

Because of those multiple factors, and because it is KEY to fully evaluate your breasts in person to make a full set of precise measurements to select the proper implant for you (incorporating factors like amount of breast tissue, implant type, base width, projection, etc), answering your question really would need a formal personalized consultation- to say anything before that would simply be guessing, which would be both unfair and unhelpful to you. Also, just FYI, each surgeon's measurements are slightly different, so numbers, experience, and overall aesthetic from one surgeon aren't necessarily the same as those from another surgeon!

Your breasts are such a KEY area of your body and your femininity- therefore, you should ONLY trust an experienced aesthetic plastic surgeon. As such an expert, I have had extensive training and experience with complex aesthetic surgeries under a multiple world-renowned experts in the field. I’d recommend for you to setup a formal consultation with me (or another plastic surgeon who is extremely comfortable with aesthetic plastic surgery procedures) for a formal consultation to thoroughly discuss your surgical goals, undergo a formal examination, evaluate all your options (surgical and nonsurgical), and decide on the best procedure(s) and type of anesthesia for your specific case. I hope this helps!

Low profile implants can be used when doing an uplift with already large breasts. The idea is that you want an implant wide and tall enough to give fullness where needed, but not too heavy, otherwise the lifespan of the uplift would be greatly reduced. Unless you want particularly large breasts, I would say that your surgeon is giving you sensible advice and you should end up with a nice, natural looking result.

It's near impossible to guide you without seeing you in person or at least reviewing photos.  Having said that I think that the choice suggested is probably reasonable considering that you're going to have noticeably less skin from your presumed full uplift.  I rarely use low-profile implants for my patients however like the size, that choice may be a wise one since you wish to avoid excessive roundness and projection.If you are really in doubt keep in mind that it may not be a bad idea to seek a second opinion from an ABPS Bd Certiied plastic surgeon.
