I am posting this in clarification to a previous question. I love my plastic surgeon. He did my tummy tuck years ago & did an amazing job. He looked at pics I brought in & recommended 550/600cc hp based on them. I didnt do sizers in his office. I did the rice test & it didn't help me much. After our consultation Iooked at pics of 600cc implants & became nervous that I will look like Dolly Parton. My PS thinks I will look natural in an implant that size. I am 5'7", 180 lbs & athletic build.

Answer: Natural look with 550cc? Depends on what you call natural. Most "athletically" built women don't have don't have such large breasts.

Answer: Make better sizers of your own Based on your photographs you will need projection, surface area, and volume to correct the breast shape. It will require a large implant. Your goal pictures will be difficult to achieve because those patients did not have sagging before surgery. If you are looking at the size of the goal pictures, they are large. So the recommendations are more realistic, now knowing this information. However, the best way for you to ease your fears about going large is to try on sizers. If the surgeon you love doesn't offer this option, then you have to figure a way to make sizers of your own. Instead of rice, try freeze dried mashed potato (uncooked), measured in cc using your measuring cup, and placed in knee high panty hose. Make sets of sizers and put them in your bras, or bathing suits. Try on 600 cc. The sizers will look approximately 40 cc larger than the implants, so if 600 cc is slightly large but doesn't really bother you, it will probably be good. Looking at pictures of other patients with 600 cc is the worst way to see how it is going to look on you. Don't let that scare you. Smaller implants are not going to correct your shape.
