Why Different Ccs? Is there much difference in getting 25 less ccs in one breast and the other with 25 ccs more?

Question

William T. Stoeckel, MD · Answer

Almost every woman has one breast that is slightly bigger or smaller than the other. Sometimes this is a very notable difference and sometimes it is minute. 25 cc is a small amount, but often just enough to balance the chest wall on a patient that has a slight volume asymmetry.

Kurtis Martin, MD · Answer

Small differences in cc's in breast implants are common to achieve a perfect result. In a large breast, 25 cc's  may be hard to tell much of a difference. Let your PS decide which size is best for you.

M. Scott Haydon, MD · Answer

Thanks for your question. I know that it seems very small since it is less than one ounce. No one however has mirror image breasts. About 20% of the breast augmentations I do require different implant sizes to correct an asymmetry. The tricky part is if there is a very large volume difference because as implants get larger, they get wider. If your plastic surgeon feels it is necessary, you can either trust them or seek a 2nd opinion. Best of Luck!

Lawrence Iteld, MD · Answer

Almost every woman has some slight difference in the size and shape of her breasts. You are correct, 25cc is very little, but since implants are not packaged as pairs, we can choose implant sizes very precisely to give the best possible symmetry. Think about shoes, wouldn't it be nice to be able to buy one shoe that is a half size different than the other- it may not be much, but may fit better!

	Good luck

Marcel Daniels, MD · Answer

Most women, in the preoperative state, have breasts that are different in size and it is quite common to use different sized/filled implants to even things out. 25 ccs may sound like a lot but it amounts to less than a shot glass. Hope this helps!
