A lot of factors determine cup size- which also varies depending on bra company, your frame, existing breast tissue, measurements, etc.170cc to 220cc is not likely to be a big change of a full cup size, and is likely not worth risking another surgery.If your measurements allow, a larger increase such as 100cc (270cc implant) may give the results you are seeking and should be discussed further with your plastic surgeon.
Increasing volume will result in larger breasts but the amount or percentage of enhancement depends on a number of factors such as height, weight, amount of native breast tissue, base diameter. 50cc increase might be 1/2 cup size for an 'average' patient.
At size 36, each 200 cc of implant corresponds to 1 cup size change. 50 cc increase will be 1/4th of a cup size and will probably not even notice the difference.Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.
The 50 cc increase is about a third of a cup, so you will probably stay in the same size bra unless it fits tightly now.
The new implants will give you 29% more augmentation (220/1701.294) than your current implants. Depending on how much breast tissue you have this may represent about 10-20% increase of your current breast with the the 170cc implants. Cup size seems to be quite subjective. I suggest discussing this with your provider.Best,Mats Hagstrom, MD
Yes, you have a double bubble. The double bubble results from the fact that your old inframammary fold was below the concavity you see now. The way to correct this is to use a circumareola approach to release the old inframammary fold, place smaller implants and move the nipple-areola complex...
No, you do not have symmastia but what you have excess skin. It is possible to excise this directly. However, you may have a scar crossing the sternum area, which can result in very bad scarring. The other alternative is to do a repeat circumareola lift to get the nipple-areola higher and...
You have what appears to be classic issues when a donut mastopexy is performed on a breast that needs a true mastopexy. These issues include flattening of the breast mound, persistent lower pole ptosis, thick scars and persistently wide areola with periareolar pleating. Also, it appears that...
There are limits when using the transaxillary incision. It's remote and delicate revision work is difficult. I'd suggest the inframammary crease incision
The implants and breast tissue are not aligned. This can happen after a breast augmentation and ptotic breast tissue. In most cases a breast lift is necessary to lift the breast tissue over the implants.
1. Implants need to drop and fluff, especially oversized ones like yours. Don't start worrying until 6 months from surgery. 2. Implant massage or exercises do nothing, proven by studies. So, stop messaging them. 3. Be patient, but you should know that your nipples will sit low on the breast...
