375cc Vs 400 Cc and Switching from Saline to Silicone?

     For a one cup size change, you may need 150 cc added to your current size.  Find a plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials who performs hundreds of breast augmentations and breast augmentation revisions each year.  Then look at the plastic surgeon's website before and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can deliver the results.  Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

Good day! For your guidance:
Breast Implant Sizing (generalization for most patients)
32A to 32C needs about 250-275cc34A to 34C needs about 300-350cc36A to 36C needs about 350-400cc Contact your surgeon and discuss realistic goals and expectations when upgrading the size of your implants. Best of luck! #RealSelf100

At size 34 each 100 cc's of implant corresponds to 1 cup size change.  A 300 cc implant would make you a size C.  If C is too small you may want a 400 cc implant and become a D.  I always recommend silicone gel implants placed retro-pectoral since they look and feel more natural and are less likely to ripple.  The profile of the implant is irrelevant in the retro-pectoral position since the implants are compressed by the pectoralis major muscle.

The volume of the native breast tissue, stature the patient, and the type of implant that's placed all have bearing on the final size of the breast after augmentation. It's impossible to comment with this information on your particular situation. With pictures to breast sizers this is something you can work out with your plastic surgeon.

Thank you for your question.  When I switch from saline implants to silicone, I usually try to go with a bigger implant if the patient is happy with the size.  This is because saline implants are firmer and project more (can't be compressed as much).  If you are currently a B/small C and want to go to full C/ D cup, I would recommend going to a high profile silicone implant.  A moderate plus silicone will give you about the same or maybe less projection that you currently have.

Good afternoon!

These questions are always difficult to answer without an exam, but somewhere in the 400cc range should give you the results you are looking for.

 

Cup sizes are all so subjective- you may wear a C at Victoria Secret, but a small B at Wal Mart or Macy's- each manufacturer has their won sizing system- it is not standardized.

 


 

i would  suggest to you put an anatomical form, high cohesivity with projection 5-6, texturized 320 cc located on subfascial site it would look like 400 cc and seize  like a c-d

I think it is impossible to tell you what would be right for you without an exam. You can do a "baggy test" to add volume to your bra to see what you might like.

Without an examination it is not possible to give you an estimate of an appropriate breast size.  In general  every 150 cc of implant volume will take you up one cup size.  Also size for size a gel implant will look smaller than a saline.  This is due to the structural difference in the shell construction.  So you may want to edge toward the 400 cc size gel.  

Generally when silicone implants are placed in the body and especially behind the muscle, they appear about 10% smaller than the saline. So to get a similar size as what you had, you will probably need an implant in the 375 range. If you want more fullness  and fuller appearing breasts, I would recommend a high profile implant closer to the 500 cc range to give you the fullness you want. Going with a high profile keeps the same width so it doesn't make you look busty but will give you a fullness, especially at the top.
