I Am Wanting 550 or 600cc Breast Implants, is That Too Big for my Frame?

February 29, 2012

Re-post with photos: I am 33 years old, 5'6", 155lbs, small 36C....had 1 child, breast feed and lost volume. I had a consult and decided to do silicone implants subfascial. I told the Dr. I wanted to end up being a D to DD range....told me to do the rice test and start at 475cc and try a few up from there and bring in some photos of my end result. After doing the rice test and wearing around, I liked the look the 550cc gave me, help?
