The doctor states no lift is necessary. But I am curious to know what the max size I could safely go is. Or will 550cc be adequate?
Answer: I am curvy 5'5, 200 pounds. 38c cup. My doctor recommended 550ccs mod plus profile, is that the biggest I can go? (Photo) A board certified plastic surgeon will be able to guide you to the correct size implant for your measurements and desires. Measurements of the chest wall and breast imprint width as well as knowledge of all breast implant sizes and profiles should make this process easy. Recommend that you try on a profile bra with various implant sizes (such as the 550cc mod plus) under a tailored blouse, tight sweater, swimsuit, workout clothes, and other garments you typically wear so that you have the best idea of whether the garments fit as desired with the implant selected.

Answer: I am curvy 5'5, 200 pounds. 38c cup. My doctor recommended 550ccs mod plus profile, is that the biggest I can go? Thank you for your question. A large portion were practice is dedicated to revisionary breast surgery. The opinions expressed below are politically correct, however I will tell you that by placing a larger implant in your breasts will lead you to a disaster without a lift. I would definitely see other surgeons. I fix many these so-called "if you place a large enough implant then you will not need a lift" scenarios. Imagine this, you are already drooping with your breasts sitting low on her chest, then you disconnect the attachments between your skin and your chest wall, and then place a heavy weight in your breasts; what you think will happen over time? These patients come to me on a regular basis with the same story, and it's always the same. "I never wanted my breast this big and now they're heading to my knees". I have seen this so often that I wrote an editorial titled "Poor practice". You can read this on my website under publications. On the other hand, if you have an augmentation with a lift, you should be able to have an excellent cosmetic result. Sometimes, I will remove breast tissue on the inferior pole of the breast so I can place a larger more round-appearing breast Implant. I term this surgery, Reductive Augmentation. Best wishes to you.

Answer: The Bellesoma No Vertical Scar Lift Your breasts are too low on the chest wall. Simply adding implants will make your situation worse. You would benefit from a lift using The Bellesoma Method. This will reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness without implants, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation and the ability to breast feed are maintained. At the same time or later, fat transfers can be performed if additional volume is desired.Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Answer: Breast implant selection Great question! This is difficult to answer in a forum like this without a proper examination or measurements of your breast. You want to make sure that the implants will fit the diameter of your chest without being too wide or narrow. With that said, if you wanted to go bigger with an implant you can go with high profile implants that will maintain a smaller diameter but give you a more projected look. Best of luck and hope this information helps!
