Would a 510cc or 550c implant made much of a difference on my frame?

The polyurethane coating around silicone breast implants was the issue that caused the FDA such concern in the 1990's and eventually led to a moratorium on all silicone gel breast implant devices. I would definitely recommend choosing an implant that is FDA approved in the United States. There a...

There is no absolute standard for cup size, therefore the appearance is what is important. A cup size can't truly be determined based on the number of cc an implant is, because the cup size is arbitrarily determined by the manufacturer of the bra. As many of my patients have told me, they may be...

Thanks for your question. In terms of implants, silicone gel implants, particularly the latest generation or "gummy bears," are considerably more expensive than saline-filled implants. This is because they cost more to manufacture, and are arguably more durable and are preferable to saline...

At size 34 each 100 cc’s of implant corresponds to 1 cup size change. To go from a C to a D would require 100 cc implants and to go from a B to a D would require 200 cc implants. 400 cc implants would be much too big, would not fit retro-pectoral, will extrude inferiorly and laterally r...

These breast implants are highly cohesive gel implants, they are a little more firm. They will ripple less, and give it about 2-3 months for them to feel softer. If you are feeling like they are very firm, please see your surgeon to rule out capsular contracture. Wishing you the best of luck!

Selecting an implant should be determined by its base diameter.  The different manufacturers will have different fill volumes associated with a base diameter.  If your main  choice is between a 475 and 510 cc there is little difference between these two sizes and you will most...
