I am planning on getting 550cc silicone HP Unders. I'm 5'8 138 lbs. very broad shoulders and 14.8 Diameter. I did imaging for larger 650 & 700 but I feel 550cc would bring me to the fullness I desire. I'm a large A or small deflated B. I would like a full D. My PS said I can hold a larger implant with my frame. He said I would not need a lift. I breast fed two kids too. Less than 2 weeks till Augmentation day!! Am I still going to big? Do I need a lift? I'm so excited I can't stand it!
Answer: 550s You do not need a lift. You have a great bod regardless of having had children. personally I think 550 might be a tad large but if you don't mind all the attention, go for it.

Answer: Do you think 550cc HP silicone unders with no lift will be too big for my body? It looks like your PS has you going in the right direction with the 550 cc HP implants. I fully agree with him. You also do not need an uplift.Thank you for your question, and best of luck. You will be elated.E. Ronald Finger, MD, FACSSavannah, GA

Answer: 550cc? It is very difficult to determine the best lift you will need (recommended based on your photos) or the exact size and shape implant you will require to best match your ideal breast image without an examination by a board certified plastic surgeon. Not just any board certified plastic surgeon, but one with many years of frequently performing breast augmentation surgery including different approaches, techniques and implant choices. This is because several measurements not to mention your breast characteristics are needed to determine the optimal implant size to obtain your goals. Without knowing these dimensions it would be difficult to make this determination. For example, the existing base width of your breast will determine, in many cases, the maximal volume per implant profile that you can accommodate. To illustrate; a 100 cc difference may make a significant difference with a narrow base width breast, but much less of a difference if you have a wide chest wall and wide breast “foot print”. Therefore, just because your friend may have a great result with let’s say a 300 cc implant to make her go from a “A” cup to a “C” cup size does not mean that you will have the same result with the same size implant. The same process goes for just filling in the upper part of your breast without becoming much larger. Further simply placing implants in a bra to determine the size best for you is not always accurate as the bra often distorts the size, is dependent on the pressure the bra places plus the implant is outside your breast and not under it among other variables. Computer software morphing programs that automatically determine the best implant size can be helpful in some but not all cases (e.g. doesn’t work well in my experience with existing implants, sagging or asymmetric breasts). Using “want to be” photos however are useful if simply provided to the surgeon as I will further explain in the link below including silicone vs saline implants

Answer: Do you think 550cc implants with no lift will be too big for me? Thank you for sharing your question and photographs. Based on your desired size and current breast measurements, 550cc is going to get you close to your goal outcome. I would definitely verify this by "trying" on gel sizers in your surgeon's office. Hope this helps.

Answer: 550 CC? Thanks for sharing with the Realself community. I think the 550 cc is a great option that should give you a wonderful result. The bigger breast implants (650 & 700) look way too big when I am looking at the photo of your body. I think you should continue to communicate closely with your plastic surgeon and that should improve things nicely for you. Best wishes, Dr. ALDO :)
