Will an increase of 100cc make a big difference in the appearance of my implants? (photos)

Dear 385ccgirly,
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.

One shot glass is approximately 45cc. Going up in size from 250/270 to 350/385 is like adding 3-4 shots worth of volume. I would make sure that your surgeon understands what your goals truly are with the surgery.

Implants are a foreign body and they are not held internally by any attachments. As a result, gravity is acting on your implants and has displaced them inferiorly and laterally. Increasing to a large volume will add additional weight and additional forces to displace them even further. Galaflex will not last and will not be able to hold the additional weight. You are better off using the same implants and have the pockets extended upward and inward and reinforce inferiorly and laterally. This will be less expensive, more effective and will create more upper pole fullness you desire.

Best Wishes,
