Is it possible to go at least 550cc with my body type? (photos)

Focusing on a result and long-term safety is more relevant and important than focusing on a particular number of cc's. Implant size (and projection) is chosen based on body measurements balanced with a desired look. Not all women can SAFELY have all implant sizes/types regardless of desire. Sometimes it's a compromise. Based on height, weight, body type, bone structure, fat composition, and chest wall anatomy bodies are different. Just knowing a specific number of cc's has no relevance since it is out of context. Implants that are larger than recommended based on a person's particular measurements can lead to increased tissue thinning, rippling, skin stretching, stretch marks, wider areolas, and/or implant malposition. Implant malposition is where an implant ends up where it doesn't belong. These issues are often very hard to repair. Here are just a few of multiple possibilities: -the implants may cross the midline giving a "uniboob"-the implants may land in the armpit-the "mushroom breast" appearance where your arm hits your breast every time it swings forward (the girl in the photo has this)If none of this convinces you after mulling it over for a LONG time (eg 1 year or longer) and you still want the ultra-exotic look, you can have your implants replaced to larger ones after your tissues have stretched to some degree.

Dear Ms. Ashley025,Thank you for your story and questions. Unfortunately without nude photos and a actualexam I am limited (including taking accurate measurements of your chest and determine the elasticity of your skin) and thus can only give you (hopefully helpful) non specific comments. Choosing the correct breast implant is a multifactoral depending on your anatomy, skin strech, desired look and size.Breast size is a very personal choice and using a variety of techniques (some of which you may have completed) you can achieve the size and look you desire.Unfortunately bra manufactures have not standardized cup sizes.Breast implant manufactures have created a wide spectrum of implants based on a "cc" measuring system. Different base widths result in different projections for the same size of cc's. Different shapes are based on the cohesiveness of the internal gel.My responses are:1)sizing:A)purchase several bras (full bodied and no padding) of the size you think you want to be. As you realize there are no standard bra (strap/cup) sizes.B)take a measuring cup (1 oz=30cc) place rice in a nylon yC) try on various volumes of rice with some form fitting clothes.D) if implants placed in the submuscular position I personally add 10% additional volume to compensate for the muscle flat renting of the implant.2)placement of implant:Select several nude model photos of the goal breast shape you desire.Placement decision of implant(subpectoral, dual plane, or suprapectoral) will be determined based on your anatomy If the implant is placed under the pectoralis muscle I usually add 10% volume to what the patient chooses.... to compensate for the muscle pressing down on the muscle and for the naturally settleing of the implant which often makes the breast appear smaller 2-3 months after surgery.3)profile of implant:A) for the same volume the higher the profile the narrower the base width.B)there is very little difference in projection between a moderate to high profile implantthus little affect on the perceptible final projection of your breasts.C) the base width of the breast should equal the base width of the implant D)thus I personally chose the profile based on the patients chest measurements, (a high profile on a wide chest may not result in the cleavage desired and conversely a low profile on a narrow chest may result in implant in the outside armarea).4)types of implants:A) roundB) anatomical or shaped be (form stable)5)Filler materialA) Silicone gelB) Normal Saline 6) Access incisionsA) axillary + no scars on breast- scar in armpitB) Peri areolar+ blends with areolae- higher chance of internal scarring (capsular contracture)C) intra mammary + lowest incidence of internal scar ting (capsular contracture)- scar on breastE) umbilical+ no scars on breasts- can only insert saline filled implants7)there are four companies that produce breast implants:-1) Mentor-2) Allergan-3) Sientra-4) Ideal1-2 =silicone fill comes from same factory3 =silicone gel has highest cohesiveness (gummy bear) for round implants1= only implants made in USA 1-2 = make both silicone and normal saline filled implants4= only makes normal saline filled implants4 = has internal baffles in normal saline implant to give feel more like silicone filled implants1-4 = all FDA approved, lifetime warranties1-3 have capsular contracture warranty 1-3 have different profiles (for same volume different base widths) resulting in different projections.1-3 have anatomical or shaped implants.I personally use all four companies based on the above and the best "fit" for the patient.I trust your Plastic Surgeon is experienced and is Certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and ideally a member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (denoting by membership as having met additional criteria and a focus on Cosmetic Plastic Surgery).My best wishes,R.

It is impossible to tell from the pictures you sent. You will get some stretching of your own skin but you need to have a certain amount of laxity to fit that size of an implant in.  if the skin does not stretch then you will get more distortion of  your breast with nipple areolar complex malposition  -  relative to the implant.     I think you can put that implant in you just need to know how it will affect the position of your nipple.
