Implant Size for Tall Women

User Avatar
Honolulu9959Jan 27, 2011

I am 6 feet tall, 150 lbs, but have slender upper body. I went for a consult today expecting the dr would recommend an impkant in the range of 550-600cc. Instead he suggested 700-800! Does that seem excessive or would it look normal because of my height?

Anatomic implants may sound sexy but they are textured (and more likely to be palpable); they have also rotated resulting in an abnormal look. I generally avoid these but use them for breast reconstruction.   Call your PS asap and let them know you feel as if the implant has rotated...

I agree that there is minimal difference.  There is slightly more projection with the Moderate Profile Plus.  Also, a 50 cc difference is not much.  It is best to go over the different options with your surgeon so that you are well informed before surgery and to make sure the...
