does 25-50 cc's of silicone make a difference in breast size?
Answer: 325cc -350cc -375cc: Does 25-50 cc's of silicone make a difference in breast size? Thank you for the question. Depending on the patient's body type and goals, a 25 cc difference in breast implants generally do not make a significant difference clinically. For some patients, a 50 cc difference may make a noticeable difference. In regards to specific size/profile of breast implant, despite good intentions, online consultants will not be able to provide you with meaningful specific advice. Ultimately, in person consultation with well experienced board-certified plastic surgeons will be necessary. Careful measurements, dimensional planning, and careful communication will be key. Generally speaking, the best online advice I can give to ladies who are considering breast augmentation surgery ( regarding breast implant size/profile selection) is: 1. Concentrate on choosing your plastic surgeon carefully. Concentrate on appropriate training, certification, and the ability of the plastic surgeon to achieve the results you are looking for. Ask to see lots of examples of his/her work. 2. Again, have a full discussion and communication regarding your desired goals with your plastic surgeon. This communication will be critical in determining which operation and/or breast implant size/type/profile will most likely help achieve your goals. In my practice, the use of photographs of “goal” pictures (and breasts that are too big or too small) is very helpful. I have found that the use of words such as “natural” or "C or D cup" etc means different things to different people and therefore prove unhelpful. Also, as you know, cup size varies depending on who makes the bra; therefore, discussing desired cup size may also be inaccurate. The use of computer imaging may be very helpful during this communication phase. 3. Once you feel you have communicated your goals clearly, allow your plastic surgeon to use his/her years of experience/judgment to choose the breast implant size/profile that will best meet your goals. Again, in my practice, this decision is usually made during surgery. The use of temporary intraoperative sizers with the patient in the upright position are very helpful. I hope this, and the attached link, helps.

Answer: Does size matter? 25-50 cc are increasingly incremental differences in size. They matter more in a smaller breast and with smaller implants. We have our patients spend a great deal of time "sizing" prior to their procedure in addition to performing "dimensional analysis" of their breasts. This allows us to collaborate with the patient to hopefully provide them with the best result we can.

Answer: Subtle implant differences Differences of 50 mL are very subtle and possibly can only be noticed by trained professional. Significant differences start in my opinion from 75 mL to 100 mL that a patient can notice.

Answer: Difference in implant sizes Your question is a very common one for women seeking breast implant surgery. 25cc of fluid is about 2 TBS worth of fluid. There are subtle changes from 325cc to 350cc implants. What may be more important than the final size is the type of implant that is used. If you have a small chest wall, a high profile implant may be used, and 25cc difference may make a larger difference than what would be seen in a moderate profile implant. My advice would be to make sure you try on different implant sizes, and the surgeon will help choose the correct type of implant that fits your body and chest measurements. It is also not uncommon to use two different sized implants so that your result will be as symmetric as possible (since many women have one breast that is slightly smaller or larger than the other). I hope that this helps in your decision in choosing the appropriate implant size.

Answer: 25-50cc difference between Implants When we talk about cubic centimeters/cc, think of it in easier dimensions. 25cc is rougly 1.5-2 tablespoons. 100cc is a third of a can of Coke. Those are dimensions that most people can relate to. whne it comes to an implant, there is not much difference between a 325cc and a 350cc. However, the diameter of the implant changes, as does the projection, and this is where the difference may be seen more than any volume change. I hope this helps
