Will 220 cc's make a difference?

Question

Is 200cc's going to change my appearance or does it need to be greater? I am 5'5", 100lbs, 32A bra size, 2 breast fed children (finished) and am contemplating a procedure.

Ali Sajjadian, MD, FACS · Answer

Yes, there is a noticeable difference with 220cc breast implants. It is challenging to predict the precise bra size difference following 220cc breast implants without a customized consultation. Your body type, the elasticity of your skin, and the location of the implants will all affect the result.
Following breast augmentation with 220cc implants, patients frequently see a rise of one or two cup sizes.  However, that depends on the style, the designer and manufacturing company and varies greatly. Some people, however, could see a lesser shift or a more notable gain.
For a customized evaluation, it's crucial to speak with a board certified plastic surgeon. They are able to evaluate your particular circumstance and provide you with a more precise forecast. To choose the ideal implant size for you, they can take into account your body type, desired result, and general health.
Hope this was helpful!

Thanks for your question. Yes it could make a difference, and most likely that difference will remain natural looking and a bit more perky. Be sure to communicate your body goals clearly to your surgeon. All the best,Dr. ResultsMiami, FL

220 cc implants should make a difference. It should give you a relatively natural look. You will be able to tell by trying implants on inside of a sports bra. Consulting with your plastic surgeon in person will also help you get a sense of which implant is right for you.

Hi. Will 220 CCs make a difference? Sure, however, what is your eventual cup size goal? I can assure you that if you are looking to go from a A cup to a C cup, 220 CCs will not be enough to get you there. So it's all relative on what your goals are. Good luck, Dr PG

Thank you for your question.  You will notice a difference from where you are now, it will most likely increase your breasts by 1 cup size.  I am not sure how large you are wanting to be after your breast augmentation procedure. It would require an in person examination to give you an accurate answer and my professional advice on what size would be best for you.  Try on the implant sizers with your board certified plastic surgeon and find out what you feel most comfortable with.

Without examining your breasts, taking measurements, and knowing what your goals are for the appearance of your augmented breasts, it is not possible to say what size implant would be best for you. You are very thin at 5'5" and 100 pounds, so it is possible that a 220cc implant will work out just fine for you.  We find that trying on sample implant sizers at the initial consultation, and then again at your pre-operative visit, is a very useful exercise. Best of luck to you!

Thank you for your question.  In order to make an accurate size recommendation, I would need to assess
 your chest wall and breast mound measurements and characteristics.  
Unfortunately, there is not a general rule of thumb or objective 
criteria to implant selection.
	Your plastic surgeon will perform several measurements of your chest 
wall and breast anatomy and determine a range of implants that both fit 
your chest wall and reach your desired goals.
	The next step is to try on this range of implants in the office with 
your doctor.  The key to this success is showing your surgeon the body 
proportion you desire with a bra sizer and allowing your surgeon to 
guide you to the right implant.  It will be much easier to communicate 
in implant cc's than cup size when determining the appropriate implant 
for you.
	I wish you a safe recovery and fantastic result.
	Dr. Gill

will make a difference but you simply need to see a local plastic surgeon who can listen to your concerns and evaluate your tissue and recommend options for you to choose from.

M. Dean Vistnes, MD · Answer

Your best bet when you are trying to decide on implants is to try on sizers of the exact implant you are considering inside a very tight sports bra. This will give you a close idea of what you will look like. More importantly the dimensions or width of the implants need to match and fit your frame and body. If you are working with a board certified plastic surgeon with an expertise in breast augmentation he or she should be able to help you with this in their office. Good luck! best, Dean Vistnes, M.D

Hi thanks for the question.  I think that it won't be enough to make a change.   In the future you will want   bigger implants.     I think  up to you.   Probably to make a change that is noticeable you'll need 300 cc.
