Will Adding 50CC to my Implant Make a Difference?

I would recommend adding the additional 50 cc, but not likely for the reasons you are hoping.

Saline implants have a fill volume range.  In my opinion, saline implants should always be filled to the upper fill volume within this range.  Underfilling the implant puts you at high risk for rippling and deflation from folding of the implant. 

From your post, it looks like you have Mentor 275 cc moderate plus profile implants.  In my practice, this implant would be my choice for about 325-340 cc fill volume. 

Additionally, you will likely be happy with the increased size and fullness of adding 50 cc.

Without pictures it is difficult to say if it is advisable or not to go bigger with the same kind of implant, but an additional 50 cc is usally not worth another surgery. It will make a visible difference but since you have a small frame and probably skinny, my preference will be to go with a narrower high profile silicone implant with more volume depending on your current breast base measurments.

Dear Mia607,

I agree with the prior answers you recieved.

To give you some perspective on the amount you are considering, 50 cc is about 3 tablespoons (30 cc = one fl. ounce = 2 tablespoons).  Thus your question of it 'making a difference' really depends on the final fill volume that is in the implants- Less noticeable in a 450cc filled breast implant, as opposed to a 225 cc filled inplant. 

I hope this helped,
