I have 36-B breasts and would like them a bit larger. It seems 50cc would increase my size to a full B wouldn't it?

HI I am Dr. Lane Smith from Las Vegas Nevada.   As you would imagine practicing in Las Vegas, I do a lot of breast augmentations.  50 cc is slightly less than two ounces of fluid or about 3 tablespoons.  Usually that amount of increase is barely noticeable.  When patients come to me for a bigger size, the smallest change I recommend where they can actually see a difference is about 75 cc's.   I would recommend you go at least that if you are thinking of changing your size.   I hope this is helpful, Lane Smith, Board certified plastic surgeon

Increasing by only 50ccs will only minimally increase your size.  You may not even notice the change.  I recommend an in-office examination as well as a detailed discussion with a surgeon who you are comfortable with.   Finally, make sure your surgeon is a Double-Board Certified Plastic Surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS), a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgery (ASPS), a member of the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), and a fellow of the American College of Surgeons (FACS).Best,Dr. DesaiBeverly Hills Institute for Aesthetic Plastic SurgeryHarvard Educated, Beverly Hills & Miami Beach TrainedDouble Board-Certified, Double Fellowship-Trained Beverly Hills Plastic Surgeon

Dear Michaell,Determining the ideal breast size and matching that goal for the patient is the most difficult part of breast augmentation. It starts and ends with the patient. 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 its 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, everyone of them have 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.Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS
