Breast Implants: Q&A
Ask a QuestionDoes Breast Implant Replacement Necessarily Have to Be Bigger?
I'm standing 5'3" tall and weighing 112lbs. I had 230cc hydrogel breast implants 10 years ago in front of the muscle. I went from an AA cup to a B cup. They will be replaced by silicone high profile behind the muscle.
My plastic surgeon says I will need to go from 230cc now to approximately 260cc-300cc this time to ensure I'm not left with any loose skin underneath the implant. I like the size I am now and dont want to be noticeably bigger. Is it possible I would have to go to 300cc to get the job done right and would this be much bigger than I am now? Thanks.
