Is it safe to say that the more breast tissue you have, the more cc's you need to achieve whatever your goal may be, compared to someone who has less breast tissue? For example, an A cup getting 200cc will probably make her 2 cup sizes bigger whereas a C cup using 200cc, may not even do much? Also if you're going under the muscle or dual plane, does the implant kind of push out what you already have?
Answer: Predicting cup size changes with implant volume is not precise The general rule of thumb here is that the less breast tissue there is, the larger the volume of the implant to acheive the same postop size. Also, the more breast tissue there is the more likely you could go over the muscle. It is unfortunate that we don't have a more reliable way of discussing breast size than the cup system, which was introduced by the Warner Bros. Corset Company in the 1930's as a way of inferring breast size without doing actual measurements that would be considered impolite. What you really need to do is forget about cup size for a moment and try on implants in a bra to see what just looks right. Your plastic surgeon can then determine what volume of implant and what dimensions are needed to acheive what you want.

Answer: Appropriate implant size for breast size Interesting point but it's not quite correct. It all depends on where you're headed. If you have a C cup breast, that doesn't mean that you need a larger implant than someone with an A cup...you have different goals. The A cup patient may want a small difference and the C cup patient may want to fill the upper pole.

Answer: Larger implants generally needed if there is more breast tissue Yes, in general if you have more breast tissue, you will need a larger implant to see more of a difference. However, other factors that come into play include how much skin stretching you have. Any implant will push out what is there, and when the implant is larger, you start to see more fill in the top of the breast. Good luck, nsn.
