Will going from 200cc implant to 275cc be a noticeable change?

Thank you for your question about breast implant revision.Going to 275 from 200 cc is a 37.5% increase in implant size.  If you really want 350 cc, ask for it.  You are in charge of the final decision.  Larger implants can have higher long term complications.
Selecting the most appropriate breast implant
size for breast augmentation is a personal decision that ultimately you have to
make. An in-person consultation with implant sizing is best.
It depends on your height, weight and breast
base width diameter.
To know what might be right for you, see two or
more experienced, board-certified Plastic Surgeons for a complete evaluation to
make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have breast
implant surgery.
I hope this helps.

An increase in only 75cc is very minimal and not all that significant.  If you would like to be larger, I would recommend an increase in implant size by at least 150-200 or greater.  I would recommend an
in-office examination as well as a detailed discussion with a board certified
Plastic Surgeon whom you feel comfortable with.
Best wishes!

Thank you for your question. In general, for you to notice a difference you would need at least 100cc increase in size. You would need a consultation to discuss your options, one option would be if you have seen implants to deflate preoperatively under local anesthesia for proper 3-D simulation and sizing.

The answer to your question depends on dimensions of your chest, the base width/diameter of each side of your chest, and the style implant from moderate to extra high.  Without this information and photographs from multiple angles, no RealSelf plastic surgery expert can give you a definitive answer.In your narrative, you stated that you are much larger than some of the other women depicted on RealSelf.  From that, I deduce that you are not petite.  I truly understand your frustration at having both a larger chest and smaller base width on your existing breasts.  Obviously, your plastic surgeon did a good job on the augmentation that you are now wanting to enlarge.  You may want to speak to him or her about the possibility of having an intermediate step where you put in a tissue expander which will increase the size of the pocket and allow your plastic surgeon to put in, safely, a larger implant.  This tissue expander is not inexpensive and is also time consuming.  However, it gives you another talking point to discuss with your Board Certified plastic surgeon.

There are practical restrictions on how large an implant can be placed.  These include the skin tightness, chest width, and torso length.  Unfortunately these factors sometimes limit the size of the implant that can be placed in a primary augmentation.  If I can only place a small implant at the first surgery, it is possible that a larger implant could be placed later after the skin and muscle have stretched.  If that's the case, and we are waiting for the breast to stretch to accomadate a larger implant, I would like to wait at least 6 months or a year depending upon the look and feel of the chest.  The good news for almost all patients is that it is usually possible to fit a larger implant in with some patience.

As a rule of thumb and depending on the size of the breast, you need to have a 100 to 150 cc size increase (or decrease) to see any size change.  Depending upon the chest, there may not be enough room for a significant change and then the choice is accept a lesser improvement or do  not do an operation.

Thanks for your question.Sorry you are unhappy with your presnt size.  200cc's are small implants but of course it depends on what you started with and the size of your rib cage.  Increasing by 75cc's willnot usually improve your appearance.  When women are unhappy with their current implants, I use at least a 100-150cc larger implant to obtain the look they desire.  I would have to examine you to see if your skin has stretched and if your breast pocket can accomodate the new larger implants.Best of luck with your decision.Dr. T

I think that in order to give you an opinion about what might be reasonable for you, you would need to be seen in person.  Best of luck.

Wait at least 6 months then put in the 350s. 75 cc will make no difference at all. Your skin will stretch over time.

More information would be useful but occasionally there are simply anatomical limits in placing the implants.  I would reevaluate in six months as I would expect there to be changes in the interim.  One always has to weigh the surgical risks and morbidities against the desire for removal and replacement of implants.  It is possible that after more settling down has occurred, you may be able to have implants closer to the size you desire.
