Are 470cc-495cc UHP SRX Silicone Natrelle implants a good size for me?

Question

I weigh 145 lbs, 5' foot, curvy, with a diameter size of 6.5(L; I'll be getting a lift on this side) and 7(R), I've never breastfeed or had kids and a 36B; I originally wanted 550cc but after finding my surgeon and doing my research I've decided based on my stats going over 500cc would not be safe or a good idea. So my surgeon and I decided on 470cc-495cc because I'd like to be a large D/small DD. Would this this range give me the look I want or closed to it?

sizes are often called to choose. Doctors use the diameter of your breast and amount of breast tissue and other factors trying to help patients decide. Your doctor may have an excellent and important reason for his advice. A second opinion by another surgeon could be considered.

Hello. Thank you for your inquiry.

Cup sizes are usually quite difficult to calculate as everyone has a different starting point. 
It is important to have an in-person assessment regarding your concerns as it is difficult to determine virtually without any photos. 
There are many different factors that go into choosing a breast implant size which will correspond with your body dimensions while concurrently achieving your aesthetic results. Some of these factors are: Implant size (CC's), Implant profile (Low, Moderate, High), Placement of the implant (Subglandular vs. Dual Plane) etc. We utilize smooth round cohesive silicone gel 'gummy bear' implants for the best results. 
During a consultation your aesthetic goals are heard and taken into account with the measurements of your breasts and the integrity of your tissue, as well as level of ptosis (sag). From here we collectively can find your 'perfect fit'. You are able to try out sizers and different implants in our office such that you can get an idea of what size you would be post-operation. We also offer Crisalix 3D plastic surgery virtual simulator during our in-person and virtual consultations to preview potential results. After your consultation, you will receive your very own implant sizers to take home with you (at a small cost) whether or not you decide to go forward with your procedure. 
I usually recommend that my patients stop smoking, take vitamin C daily, and avoid aspirin/ibuprofen and vitamin E 3 weeks prior to surgery. I specialize in the 24-hour Recovery method which minimizes trauma to the breast and decreases pain post-operatively.
