On March 25, 2016 I had breast augmentation. I got 375cc HP silicone Implants. I was hoping to get what I wanted but I didn't. So now I'm having to go bigger. Looking through pictures and videos, it's seems like 500-550cc will get me right where I want to be. Will an increment of 125-175cc make a difference and achive the look I want? I have uploaded my pictures, and wish pics.

Answer: Breast Revision for Larger Implants It is certainly possible to #increase your implant size with a #revision. However, the #pocket will need adjustment and a lift may be necessary; to better #support the new implant. Additionally, a mesh for further support may be helpful depending on the #implant size and skin #elasticity.With both implant types there are choices when it comes to size, shape, and profile. The criteria best to suit you will be discussed in full detail at your breast augmentation consultation. Any cosmetic #revision has risks of unhappy outcome or other complications. Also, the right implant for the revision is contingient on shape of body and your desired outcome. Your procedure should always be performed by a #PlasticSurgeon who is board-certified and has a great deal of experience specializing in cosmetic #surgery. You will then greatly improve your chances of getting the result you desire, and, without the need for another revision surgery. It is suggested that you look at before and after photos of the surgeons actual patients, and read patient #reviews. Gathering all of this information will help you make a well-informed decision.

Answer: Wanted to Look Larger. Questions About Implant Size After Augmentation Re-operation after augmentation for the purpose of getting a different, often larger size is something we would all like to avoid, particularly the patient. Using some objective method, such as the Tebbets High Five System, would go a long way to avoiding this if it was more widely practiced. Taking into account the nipple to fold distance, and the base width of the breast, laxity of the tissues, and amount of existing breast tissue allows one to get a result that gives roundness, filling the skin envelope from side to side, and gives upper pole roundness without excessive fullness. Although the wish pics show a result that is quite full and round and not really natural, the pictures shown indicate that the upper pole could be a bit more filled, as the nipple to fold distance is long. High profile implants are narrower than moderate profile, and have a more abrupt step off in the upper breast at the junction with the chest wall; but when a larger implant is desired they do allow more volume in the same breast width. This extra size has long-term trade offs of thinning and stretching breast tissues. Such changes are permanent and can lead to drooping of the breasts, atrophy of breast tissue, and the need for a lift later.An in person examination and measurements are needed to really answer your question about optimal size.

Answer: The right size for you It is very difficult to determine the exact size and shape implant you will require to best match your ideal breast image without an examination by a board certified plastic surgeon. Not just any board certified plastic surgeon, but one with many years of frequently performing breast augmentation surgery including different approaches, techniques and implant choices. This is because several measurements not to mention your breast characteristics are needed to determine the optimal implant size to obtain your goals. Without knowing these dimensions it would be difficult to make this determination. For example, the existing base width of your breast will determine, in many cases, the maximal volume per implant profile that you can accommodate. To illustrate; a 100 cc difference may make a significant difference with a narrow base width breast, but much less of a difference if you have a wide chest wall and wide breast “foot print”. Therefore, just because your friend may have a great result with let’s say a 350 cc implant to make her go from a “A” cup to a “C” cup size does not mean that you will have the same result with the same size implant. . Further simply placing implants in a bra to determine the size best for you is not always accurate as the bra often distorts the size, is dependent on the pressure the bra places plus the implant is outside your breast and not under it among other variables. Computer software morphing programs that automatically determine the best implant size can be helpful in some but not all cases (e.g. doesn’t work well in my experience with existing implants, sagging or asymmetric breasts). Using “want to be” photos however are useful if simply provided to the surgeon.

Answer: Revision Breast Surgery Hello,That represents a 33% to 45% change, which should be adequate to achieve your goals. However, I recommend capsulorrhaphy to reshape and tighten the capsule so your new implants sit higher and closer together. If your surgeon isn't a ABPS certified/ASAPS member surgeon who specializes in revision surgery, you may want to visit a few.Best of luck!

Answer: I want to go bigger. 500-550cc?? Dear kattherreraI I agree that by increasing the size by 125-175cc you will have a noticeable difference in your breast size. You can discuss implant shape with your surgeon as that might help to reach the results that you prefer in conjunction with the increase in size. The surgery itself is usually less painful than the first time and your recovery will likely be easier.
