Does this Conserve+ make my femoral head look fat?

So I just looked at my surgical documents from Dr. de Smet, and it indicates that the size of the femoral head component was 50 mm. That's large for a woman, right? Doesn't that put me out of the "smaller size" issues related to women and the HR? Not important, since I had a Conserve+, and they come in smaller sizes, but I'm just curious.

 :) Hi Von. Yep that's about right if your 5 ft 8 plus. 50mm is a good size apparently?

Thanks, Karlos! Somehow I feel better having the larger size, since some of the problems with women were associated with the smaller sizes.
