So I am 5'2" and 127 lbs. I really want to go to at least 550cc in silicone... The one doctor said that the biggest he would do would be 480cc ultra high profile silicone mentor implants... But to me that doesn't seem big at all. I really want at least a full dd in Victoria secret to a small ddd. When I was breast feeding I went up to a dd and I felt they still looked small. I feel like I have wider hips and I feel like I have a lot of skin or breast tissue and I do not have saggy breasts

Answer: Breast Augmentation - Size Selection Thank you for your question. "Tissue based planning" relies on your chest and breast measurements and is the safest way to ensure good long term results. Your surgeon should determine what size and projection are necessary to give you your desired result based on your body's measurements. The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam. Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic breast surgery. Hope this helps and good luck with your surgery.

Answer: Is it possible to go at least 550cc with my body type? Thank you for the question and photos. Online consultants will not be able to provide you with specific enough advice to be truly helpful. Ultimately, careful communication of your goals (in my practice I prefer the use of goal pictures, direct examination/communication in front of a full-length mirror, in bra sizers, and computer imaging) as well as careful measurements (dimensional planning) will be critical. Generally speaking, much of the final look achieved after breast augmentation surgery depends on several factors:1. The initial shape, size (volume of breast tissue), symmetry of the patient's breasts. In general, the better the preoperative breast appearance the more likely the breast augmentation “look” will be optimal.2. The experience/skill level of the surgeon is important in determining the final outcome. For example, the accurate and gentle dissection of the breast implant pockets are critical in producing long-term well-placed breast implants. Careful measurements (dimensional planning) and careful selection of breast implant size/profile are part of the surgeon's responsibilities.I personally think that these 2 factors are more important than any others, including type (saline or silicone) or model (low/moderate/high profile) of implant.3. The type of implant used may determine the final outcome, especially if the patient does not have significant covering breast or adipose tissue. For example, some surgeons feel that silicone implants have a more natural look and feel than saline implants because silicone gel has a texture that is similar to breast tissue. In other words, if a patient has very low body fat and/or very little breast tissue, the silicone gel implants may provide a more "natural" result. The weight of the breast implants are almost identical; silicone is actually a slightly lighter weight breast implant.4. The size and model of breast implant used may make a significant difference in the final outcome. Therefore, it is very important to communicate your size goals with your surgeon. In my practice, the use of photographs of “goal” pictures (and breasts that are too big or too small) is very helpful. I have found that the use of words such as “natural” or “ DD cup” etc.Also, as you know, cup size varies depending on who makes the bra; therefore, discussing desired cup size may also be inaccurate.I hope this, and the attached link (dedicated to breast augmentation concerns), helps. Best wishes.
