What breast implant should I use to achieve this look? (Photo)

Question

I had a surgery with 360cc 10 years ago. I wanna get this look (the last pic). And my current looks are the first 2 pics. I wanted to go with 500cc with Low profile. But my current doctor says it would be too big for me. Should I use moderate implants? I'm 5'3, 110lb.

Dear Calm633839,
breast implant type and sizing selection is a complicated process and requires a detailed consultation that includes a discussion of your goals, a detailed examination, and a lengthy discussion. But the decision will always start and end with the patient. When it comes to sizing, we have all of our patients find 3 photos of their desired breast size. We ask for naked breast photos because clothing can obscure the true size (push up bras). Next, we consult with patients and go over the photos and take detailed breast measurements during a physical exam. Next, we using a sizing algorithm to determine a range of implants that will work based on the exam and the measurements.Lastly, during the operation, we use silicone sizers in the operating room to see how the size actually looks in the breast. We sit the patient up in the operating room, while asleep of course, and compare the sizer result with their desired look photos. If it is too small, we start the process over with a slightly larger implant. We don't stop until we get the perfect match.Of all of my breast augmentation patients, every one of them has been happy with their size due to this detailed and meticulous process. You don't want to invest time and money into a result that is either too big or too small.You should discuss your concerns with a board-certified plastic surgeon and make sure that your surgeon understands your goals.

Your doctor is correct. the 500 cc implants will be too large and heavy for your frame and tissue and will look like hard balls on your chest. Your size looks good now. Please do not change.
