I'm 5'7" with a athletic body build, weighing 185, and my rib cage measures 34in. This will be my third surgery, as the first 2 were uneven. I want a very fake look with roundness on top. I went under the muscle and have 500cc in RB, 450 LB. I feel like my right breast still is too far into my armpit even though stiches were put in place to keep it from bottoming out. I am very unhappy with my look. What size would you recommend and what should I say to my surgeon to get the rock star look?
Update:
I have Mentor smooth, round, high profile silicone implants (R-500 cc, L-450). My first surgery was in June 2011, with a revision in late July. My 3rd sugery is scheduled with the same doctor in less than 2 weeks. He suggested 700 and 650 respectively. I'm nervous that I still wont get the results that I asked for the first time. Will that size of implant give me the results I'm looking for? Very full, round on top and NO natural look. He is board certified, but how can I get him to understand.

High profile implants have narrower width but much more projection so without knowing whether you now have low or moderate profiles, it is difficult to comment because you may be changing both the shape and the size. When keeping the same profile, I agree that the increase,to make an...
