Feeling my 510cc ultra high profile silicone implants are too small, will 700cc make a huge difference in size? (photos)

Dear Sociable,
Thanks for posting your picture, though an additional side view picture would have been helpful. Also, you did not provide us with your chest circumference measurement in inches, which is critical for the correct implants size selection.
From observing the picture, your breasts appear C cup size and they bottomed out, so to achieve your goal of more upper pole fullness , you will benefit from the following maneuvers:
1. Redo the breasts lift procedure that will shorten the lower pole and push the implants upward.
2. Inferior capsulorrhaphy (internal bra) that will raise the sub mammary crease and lift the implants upward.
3. Superior capsulotomy (scar release) that will allow the implants to move upward , giving you more fullness of the upper pole and nice slope.
These maneuvers will give you moderate improvement of the upper pole fullness, so if you want more noticeable change, you can replace the 510 cc implants with 600 cc implants to bring you to a full C cup size.
Always, consult with experienced board certified plastic surgeons who operate in accredited surgery center for your safety. Most importantly, check the before and after pictures of redo breasts augmentation in the photo gallery, to make sure that they are numerous, consistent and attractive with nice cleavage, perky, symmetrical and natural looking.
Best of luck,

Good afternoon!

It takes 100cc to see even the slightest difference, and 200-250cc to make a cup size, so to address your question- no, 200cc will not make a HUGE difference- a noticeable difference yes.

Hello, thank you for your question. It seems like you can benefit from a breast lift, this would reshape the tissue with skin tightening. Breast fat transfer is a great tool to balance breasts, improve symmetry. Implants that big would make your breast sag more.

Your breasts have bottomed out and are too low on the chest wall. Adding more weight to your breasts would fail. An alternative to consider is fat transfer to the upper pole of your breasts or repeating a breast lift.

Best Wishes,

Dear Sociable480702,
breast implant type and sizing selection is a complicated process and requires a detailed consultation that includes a discussion of your goals, a detailed examination, and a lengthy discussion. But the decision will always start and end with the patient. When it comes to sizing, 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 it is 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, every one of them has 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.You should discuss your concerns with a board-certified plastic surgeon and make sure that your surgeon understands your goals.

I would not suggest going larger since your implants are bottoming out in your photo. It does not appear that your tissue is supporting this size well, and may do even worse with larger and heavier implants. You would probably do best with smaller implants and tightening the lower pockets to repostition your implants to sit higher.

Your implants have dropped below their ideal location, called bottoming out. This is why you are flat in the upper part of your breasts.
To correct this you will need an additional mastopexy (uplift)and also a sheet of stratus placed inside your implant pocket at the bottom of the implant. This will prevent the bottoming out from recurring.
You could also get a larger implant or use fat grafts to put more volume in this upper area of your breasts.
Thank you for your question and photo, and good luck.
