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?
Answer: Can I get 400cc implants after a breast reduction with 400g removed If 400 g were removed following a breast reduction and implants of about that size were placed, the volume would be in the general vicinity of breast volume previously. Do remember a few things. Inherent in a breast reduction is a breast lift. One would expect with implants for the breasts to be more elevated than they were preoperatively. In general, higher breasts look larger than breasts that are lower on the frame, especially in clothing. Also, you may wish to discuss this with your surgeon. Some of the 400 g removed could have been from tissue closer to the armpit region. A 400 mL implant may make you look like you have more prominence than previously. A good discussion with your surgeon sounds helpful in your case. The overall volumes may be in the same ballpark but the look would be expected to be quite different from your pre-breast reduction appearance.

Answer: Consider cup size Hi, thanks for the question. When we perform breast reduction surgery we remove particular amounts of tissue and also we reshape the remaining tissue. So you better consider the cup size. If you know your previous cup size you can do the basic math. Each 200 cc will increase one cup size. With 400 cc implants your cup size will increase approximately two cup sizes. I hope this answer helps you.

Answer: Reduction Hi there! Thank you for sharing your question. Grams of tissue and cc of implants don’t convert 1:1, since breast tissue has variable density compared to implants. Meaning it would be tricky to accurately estimate if a an implant of similar weight will also be a volume match. Therefore shape and feel may be different. A consultation with a plastic surgeon can help you visualize the potential outcomes and choose the implant size that most closely matches your goals.

Answer: Breast Reduction wanting breast size back Thank you for your question. Unfortunately, without any photos I cannot determine what size implant can be placed. There is no one to one ration of fat removed to implant cc volume. You need to see a board-certified plastic surgeon to examine you and discuss options with you.

Answer: Possibly I recommend an in person consultation with a plastic surgeon to discuss your goals and be measured. After I measure and discuss goals with my patients, we then look at pictures of women (my patients) with similar measurements with different size and style breast implants. They also get to see what they would look like when the breasts have fully dropped and fluffed and in clothes. You get to see actual results and the surgeon's experience and not a virtual idea of what can be achieved. Women tell me that this process is very helpful in determining what size and style breast implant is right for them. Dr. Ted Eisenberg, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author.
