In general, every 175 to 200 cc of implant volume you will go up (or down) a cup size. In most cases to do this would require a new implant otherwise there will be significant wrinkling of the implant.

Need to maintain a minimal fill volume for the implants
Jeffrey Zwiren, MD answers: Saline Breast implant reduction
I have Mentor saline implants filled to 375 CC, the procedure done in 2004. I have been quite happy with my breasts and the implants, but lately, as I approach menopause, I'm wishing for somewhat smaller breasts! Can I have, say, 100 or 150 cc of the saline removed from the implants, or will I need to have complete removal and replacement with smaller implants?
