Upsizing your Breast Implants

The first place to start would be to obtain a consult and examination by a board certified plastic surgeon. The same implant is not used since it is the implant that give you the size desired. The same incision may be used but that is best determined at your examination. Dr. ES

Need somewhat larger implants to go up one cup size.

Hi. You have very reasonable expectations, and this should be easy to do. During surgery, we use sterile breast implant sizers to actually see which size looks best on you.

New and Larger Implant Needed to Increase Cup Size

Your present implant cannot be used to increase your cup size. You would have to have a new and larger implant exchanged for your current implant. Even if you have a saline implant, it would need to be inflated to a volume which would void the warranty of the implant.

You need new implants.

Bring the size info you have to a plastic surgeon and they will assess what size is needed. Usually the secondary surgery is easier on you and less painful.

Increasing cup size

If you want to increase your breast size by about a cup you will need to get larger implants placed. Even if you have saline implants I would not recommend just overfilling them. Good luck.
