I currently have 420 cc saline implants. I now want to go bigger and my doctor recommends 500 cc high profile silicone implants. I wear 34 c bra now. I am 5'6 110 lbs. I just want to make sure if I go to 500 it will be worth paying the money again. Is it a big difference? How about 550 cc's?

Answer: Implant size change
Usually a size change that will make a noticeable difference requires about 100-150 cc's difference. However, with different shaped implants they may look slightly more different especially with more projection or wider shapes.

Answer: Estimating Breast Implant Size Increase
Think percentages of volume when changing/increasing breast implant sizes. In going to 500cc from 420cc that is a near 20% size difference. A 550cc change would then be a 30% size difference. In my experience, unless a patient has at least a 30% change, if not more, they will not feel that the size difference is that noticeable. Your better choice is 550cc if you want to notice more than just a subtle change.
