Is 590cc a lot smaller than 600cc? (photo)

Hi, thank you for sharing your question. The difference between 600cc and 590cc is imperceptible. You will not notice the difference. I hope this helps. Best of luck!

Thank you for sharing your question. No, the difference is negligible based on the sizes you are describing. Hope this helps.

There is no significant difference from 590 cc to 600 cc. However, in your photograph, your breasts are widely separated and pointing outward. Large implants such as 590 cc will have to be centered underneath the nipple-areola complex and will point outward even more so. The technique I recommend is a mini lift. Using a circumareola incision, your breast tissue is reshaped, elevated higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. At the same time, fat transfers or small implants can be placed totally submuscular.

Best Wishes,

Dear Sontlesp,
breast implant type and sizing selection is a complicated process and requires a detailed consultation that includes a discussion of your goals, a detailed examination, and a lengthy discussion. But the decision will always start and end with the patient. When it comes to sizing, we have all of our patients find 3 photos of their desired breast size. We ask for naked breast photos because clothing can obscure the true size (push up bras). Next, we consult with patients and go over the photos and take detailed breast measurements during a physical exam. Next, we using a sizing algorithm to determine a range of implants that will work based on the exam and the measurements.Lastly, during the operation, we use silicone sizers in the operating room to see how the size actually looks in the breast. We sit the patient up in the operating room, while asleep of course, and compare the sizer result with their desired look photos. If it is too small, we start the process over with a slightly larger implant. We don't stop until we get the perfect match.Of all of my breast augmentation patients, every one of them has been happy with their size due to this detailed and meticulous process. You don't want to invest time and money into a result that is either too big or too small.You should discuss your concerns with a board-certified plastic surgeon and make sure that your surgeon understands your goals.

Good evening,
No you won't even notice a difference- think two teaspoons difference- nothing at all! I really like the dimensions of the 590!

You will not notice the difference between the two sizes. However, 590-600 cc implants are too large and heavy for your frame and tissue.

Greetings thank you for your question.
Round breast implants have a tendency to make breasts appear fuller than form-stable implants. Higher profile options can achieve even more projection.Because round implants are the same shape all over, there is less concern about them rotating out of place.

That difference is very small and you should not feel there is any real difference for you. If you chose an implant with a different projection (as you suggested you did), then that should allow you to see a nice small change from that.

Dear Sontlesp,
Thank you for your question. The short answer is "no." 10 cc is not a lot smaller. It is less than 2% volume decrease. You won't even notice it. To get an idea how much 10 cc is, find a medicine cup that comes with a liquid medication. Typically each medicine cup is 30 cc. Fill it up to the 10 cc line and then pour this out only a teacup saucer. You will see that when this is spread out, it will only give a thin layer of coverage over the plate. You can then visually translate this to the base diameter of your implant and better appreciate that this will lead to an imperceptible change in projection.
I hope this helps and good luck with your augmentation.
