Revision - 560cc or 615cc Breast Implants?

The sizes you are considering (560cc vs 615cc) are fairly large breast implants, which are associated with more complications than smaller sized implants.  The difference of 55cc may not make a very big difference in your size in the end, however the extra weight of the larger size will lead to more stress and stretch on your breast tissue. This could lead to you another revision in the future.  I think you should have your plastic surgeon show you these two different size implants and consider the ramifications of selecting the larger one.

No one can tell you which implant is right for you, but we do know that larger implants do have more future complications.

Best wishes,

When choosing between two different sizes, try sizers on to help you decide. Try a 5 oz sizer and a 7 oz sizer to differentiate between the two.

Hi there-

For a woman your size, both of the implants you mention are fairly large...

And I strongly agree with Dr. Aldea as well- the appropriate way to select implants for any individual patient should involve not only her goal for appearance, but also a detailed understanding of her anatomy and the dimensions of her body. This is the "one right result" concept.

When implant are used that are significantly larger than what would be appropriate using the above concept, the patient will likely experience a negative long term change in the appearance and comfort of her breasts as gravity and the weight of the large implants combine to cause a marked loss of skin quality and marked excess of skin quantity. At that point, a well-done breast lift may help, but the loss of skin quality will NEVER be able to be restored.

I also do not necessarily agree that better cleavage (if you currently have a bit of a gap between your breasts) will require a larger implant.

Be careful with this. Make sure you are doing what will keep you safe and make you happy- not just in the short term, but in the longer term as well.

The volume difference is not that great between the two implants.  I would at this point allow the surgeon to use his judgement regarding which one looking better.

Dear Ms. Revision Australia. Well good luck with your surgery. I'm posting this on the day of your case. I think, since you are in Australia! Anyway, if in fact you are doing this because you want your breasts to be larger then as others have said don't fret about one implant vs the other - not that much difference. Just be aware that you will lose 20% of the apparent volume if what you liked was by trying them on. If on the other hand you are trying to get rid of the gap, a larger implant really isn't necessarily the answer. the answer may be correctly opening the pocket wide enough toward the sternum (in the center) so that with an average bra your breast implants will move easily toward the middle.

How can you get a better answer than Dr. Aldea's.  Just the right amount of sarcasm with factual and useful information is the best advice you can expect.  Good luck!

Maybe if you posted a photo it would help us answer more exactly. But the difference is 55 cc's between those sizes, go big!  Than the swelling is of no matter. 

I know that you are stressing over breast implants sizes.  This is the one feature of breast augmentation that stimulates the highest degree of anxiety.  An increase from 560 to 615 cc is 55cc.  At your size and weight this would only amount to a 1/4 cup size difference.  It would be more appropriate for you to focus on the desired breast projection and ideal base width rather than size alone.  Ask your plastic surgeon for advice in making this decision.

Regarding :  "Revision - 560cc or 615cc Breast Implants?
I currently have 410 breast implants and having a revison done on friday to fill in the large gap between my breast and havng larger implants put in i keep tossing and trning between 560 and 615! im scared that after the sweling goes down i will be dissapointed with th 560 but i dont want to look like a circus freak with 615(i do like the look of large breast but) i know after the swelling goes down and being put behind the muscle(which i am doing) makes them look smaller.i weigh about 55-60kgs"

Breast Augmentation is different things to different people, but gravity and aging treats all of us the same.

If YOUR idea of breast beauty is a pair of large "boobs" which challenge the abilities of your skin from cracking open and which will turn heads in any room you enter (first because of their size and then by their sheer sagging) then all you need to do is disregard the size of your breasts, the slant of your chest, the extent of the flat plateau on which implants would sit and just have the biggest implants physics would tolerate placed in each of your breast. The consequences of such augmentation are known to every ethical Plastic surgeon and are not correctable.

On the other hand, if you want the most attractive and longest lasting result Breast Augmentation your current breasts and chest would allow, your Plastic surgeon needs to consider the amount of soft tissue coverage your breasts could afford an implant, the stretchiness of each breast, the size of the chest etc. You may require a breast lift on one or both sides. You may benefit from fat grafting along the cleavage area and or the sides to soften the edges. But, narrowing the cleavage area with large implants and by detaching the muscles often results in "Cyclops or Uni Boobs" where the implants meet in the center. A very hard and expensive to meet deformity.

So instead of tossing and turning over which large implants you should put into your small figure, I would push your Plastic surgeon to put the implants who would give you the best overall results and keep you away from the operating room and revisions for the longest time.

There really isn’t much of a difference between 560 cc and 615 cc. The difference is 55cc which is equal to about ¼ of a cup.
