I know it isn’t an exact science, but I am hoping to get some estimates. I currently have 325 cc and don’t feel they are proportionate to my frame. I feel bottom heavy still and am hoping to balance out. I want to be noticeably bigger than I am now, but nothing crazy. My surgeon recommended ultra high 550 cc. Would this be big enough for my body? 5’4”, about 150 pounds.
Answer: Upsizing Good afternoon!The best way to determine the correct size is to try on sizers over your current implants, but in general it takes 100cc to see a difference and 200cc to take you up a cup size.

Answer: Implant sizing Great question! Implant sizing can be a complex issue to discuss, as it ultimately depends on your goals. As far as sizing goes, it really all depends on your breast measurements, especially the width of your chest. You want to make sure the implant width is close to your chest width otherwise it may not look right. I would have some wish photos ready to show your surgeon so they have a good idea of what you want to look like. As long as the 550cc's fit your chest dimensions then it could be a good option if you are looking to be noticeably larger.Best of luck and hope this information helps!- Dr. Roger Tsai @DrRogerTsaiBoard Certified Plastic Surgeon

Answer: Breast Revision Sizing is one of the most challenging questions when it comes to breast augmentations or implant exchanges. A lot of that depends on what your goals are. I like to look at photos to determine what look you're trying to achieve and then recommend a volume. I recommend having a discussion with your plastic surgeon or getting a second opinion if you don't think it's large enough.

Answer: Going Bigger Thank you for the photos. I would agree with you that your body can use larger implants to balance things out and be more proportionate. Now how do you get there? We would first begin with finding out exactly which implants you have. Next we would perform measurements of your breasts to see what could fit in there. After all this, we would have you try on a bra and use Allergan or Mentors sizing system to assess how much bigger you want to be.A personal examination would be best to figure out what you want and what your body can handle. Measurement of your current implant are important as well because you would want to have a wider (to get you more cleavage and close in the middle) as well as more projecting implant, not just more projecting. If you currently have a moderate and go up to ultra high you may not gain much in the width.Hope that helps.
