How Many Cc's Makes a Revision Just for Size "Worth It"? (photo)

Question

I have 286cc, I am 5'2" and about 100-105lbs and 24 yrs old. I was a 32A pre-BA and almost 4 months post op (BA in May 2013) I am measuring a 30D, sometimes 32D or 32C. I want to get a revision as soon as I am able and can afford it, but I want to make sure I do it right this time. I'm not necessarily looking to increase cup size by much, but I want more fullness (which I associate with width more so than projection). I've been considering 339 but afraid that won't be a big enough difference.

There are lots of ways to settle upon the final size. Breast sizers available the officer quite useful. However if your breasts are soft and natural I would caution you about subjecting them to risks with subsequent surgery.

I would probably go a little bigger than 339 cc's. Usually a minimum of 75-100 cc's to make a difference. There is minimal risk with a filling procedure but complications are always a possibility.

Jonathan Saunders, MD · Answer

i generally tell people that they need to increase their size 30-50%  or they will not think it is worth it.  so i think you should increase the size between 80 and 150cc

Thank you for your question and posting appropriate pictures and description. Ideally, you have seen a board certified plastic surgeon with preoperative pictures which can be loaded into Vectra 3-D imaging to show optimal size simulated in the future. Otherwise, you should discuss sizing and breast width dimensions regarding an increase in at least 75cc to provide appreciable difference postoperatively. Breast of luck.

You have a very nice result! But if you MUT increase volume I recommend at least 100 cc at a minimum///
