If I had a breast reduction with 400g removed & want old breast size back, can I get 400cc implants?

I had a breast reduction over a year ago through insurance and about 400 grams was removed from each breast. I terribly miss the size and regret the reduction. If i get 425 cc implants will they be the same size as before? do grams of fat and cc of implants correlate in that way?

I'd redo the lift that you've already had. You have some asymmetry and loose skin. Adding a small or conservative implant would help give you a round and better shape with some upper pole fullness and cleavage
