I have Saline Mentor Moderate Plus breast implants. One recently has deflated causing a replacement of the implants. I was originally 420cc filled to a 450cc. Wondering if I get 550cc Saline Moderate Plus would the size show a significant difference? I was a bigger C small D before the deflation.

Answer: Size Adding another 100 cc's will probably put you into a D or full D size. It probably will not give you a full cup increase in size. Bras are not made to a standardized size, so you may find you wear different sizes in different styles.

Answer: Would there be a significant visible size difference if I went from a 450cc to a 550cc Saline Moderate Plus implants? This is always a very difficult question to answer because cup sizes vary with the bra manufacturer and plastic surgeons do not agree on the number of cc's equivalent to a cup size. Some say from 130 - 150cc's; others, 200cc. Trying on implant “sizers” of 450cc, 550cc, and overfill size during a preop visit while wearing a tight t-shirt, sweater, bathing suit and any other clothes you typically wear will help you and your surgeon choose the optimal implant.Kenneth Hughes, MD, ABPS Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA

Answer: Replacing Saline Implants Thanks for your question. There is no rule that tells how much volume makes a cup size breast difference For a woman with a slight build, it can be as little as 100 cc. For a larger woman, a cup size can equal 250 cc if not more. Your prior augmentation, you used a 420 which was filled to 450 cc. So if you use a 550 cc implant, what would be the final volume? Most people suggest that 150 cc equals one cup size for an average woman's breast, so with an implant volume that can be between 550 to 660 cc, your result could easily be a cup sized bigger. So to directly answer your question, yes you could easily look bigger. The details matter. good luck.

Answer: Implant Volume Change to see Breast Size Difference? Most patients need to go up 150cc from their existing size to see a noticeable difference. 150cc is 1/2 a can of soda, so use that as your frame of reference. You may want to cheat up more towards a 600cc fill volume if you want to see a cup size change. I hope this helps.
