Answer: Breast implants sizing for breast augmentation Hi, Thanks for posting your question. I am happy to try and help you. It is important to remember that a board certified plastic surgeon will be your best resource when it comes to an accurate assessment of your situation, and concerns. Your single picture is not really enough information to answer your question. Having said that, as a rule of thumb you will not be able to see a difference in breast implant appearance unless you go up or down at least 75-150 cc. The height, weight, frame and current implants and desires are what really pushes the meter. So a small framed women with 300cc ranged devices should be able to see a change with 75 cc. This would be the case if she wanted to fill out the bras better and not necessarily go to the next bra size. If she wanted to go up a size and fill it out, it may be 150+ cc to achieve that. A larger women with the same sized implants would probably not even notice the 75 cc bump. So their scale would shift and she may need 125 cc to notice some difference and even more to go up and fill the next bra size. So it is not a cut and dry situation. You would be best served going to see a plastic surgeon personally to get the best advice after examination and discussions about what your goals are. Best wishes, Dr. Michael J. Brown Northern Virginia Plastic Surgeon

If you do decide on a revision to #increase your implant size or choose a different implant, the #pocket will need adjusting and often a breast #lift is also be necessary to better #support the new implant.

Answer: Yes I think you are getting the trend of these answers. Yes, a 700 cc implant is too large for you. Implants of this size are generally used for breast reconstruction for a woman who has no breast tissue remaining. Even then, this would be an implant used for a woman of larger stature, not someone who is a lean 120 pounds.I must add that I much prefer a natural result. If you seek an obviously fake, porn star result, then 700 cc may be your choice.I believe you would be disappointed with this choice in the future. The resulting stretching may be difficult or impossible to correct if you changed your mind down the road.

Answer: Going Bigger Good morning!Proper implant selection is probably the single most important factor in having a breast revision. My approach is careful measurements of your chest, reviewing goal photos with you, and having you try on implant sizers in the office over your current implants. With this combination approach works well to help you decide what size will really allow you to reach your goals. If your surgeon does not have sizers in the office, which all surgeons who perform breast augmentation should have, then you may perform the rice test at home, which is described on this site as well as many other sites. There are very few places on the internet you can see real photos of real patients with large implants where the site actually tells you how many cc's the patient has. Because of this lack of information, I have created a page where you can view patients clinical and candid photos, from 600cc all the way up to 2500cc. I have attached a link to this XL Breast Augmentation revision photo gallery- hope it helps!
