I am having a revision next month because my left breast developed cc. My doctor advised me to do a capsulectomy on the left and not to do anything with the right. I have HP 350cc under and would like to get HP 425cc. Will 75cc make any difference? Will the difference be noticeable? I know my chances of having cc on the breast that is good will be higher if I decide to go bigger, so is it worth to take the chance for an extra 75cc? I will not go any larger due to fear of having complications.

Answer: Implant revision 350cc vs 425cc
Your question is very complicated. The answer depends factors such as skin quality, natural asymmetry, amount of breast tissue and the wild card is the capsule.. In general, 75 cc is not a lot of difference. However, that depends upon your starting point. If your breasts were asymmetric to begin with, then 75 cc may solve the problem. The answer to your question is also complicated by your capsular contracture. Once the capsule is removed, it can completely change the dynamics of how an implant sits in a new pocket. That is both the shape, size and feel of the implant.

Answer: 350cc or 425cc For CC Revision?
75 cc may may make a modest difference. If there were no CC I might discourage that small a size change, but if you are having surgery anyway, it seems reasonable. Any smaller size will probably not be noticeable in terms of change.
I don't think that a larger size will increase contracture risk. All the best.
