I had a breast augmentation done a year ago and I am not happy with the size. I would like to add approx. 50 cc's. How much does that typically cost and is it possible?

Answer: Changing breast implant size and having too much surgery
Each time you operate on the breasts you stimulate scar tissue and increase the risk of capsular contracture. Reoperations after breast augmentation should not be treated lightly. Reoperating just to increase the implant size by just 50cc whether you put in new implants or add saline is out of the question in my book. The extra 50cc you want will most likely not even be visible as a different size from the outside world.

Answer: How much does it cost to add $50 cc to my implants?
As pointed out by the other surgeons, this is not as easy as it sounds. To add volume to your implants, the implants actually need to be connected to a fill tube which requires an additional surgical procedure.
I would speak with the surgeon who performed your original surgery and see what he/she can do to help you.
