Is 590cc a noticeable difference if I have 470cc now? (photo)

Thank you for your questions. Addition pictures of you before/after surgery out of clothing would be much more helpful. Sizing of implants is not always exact but you can take a rough guess that 150-200 cc is going to be about a cup size change in volume. From 470-590 cc, you are going to increase just under one cup size. To look at it another way, that volume change is going to be roughly a 25% increase in your current implant size and I think that is appreciable. The most important thing to discuss with your board certified plastic surgeon is HOW you are going to achieve that change - wider implant, more projected implant, etc....there are many more dimensions and features to fitting choosing implants other than size alone.Hope this helps!Dallas R.

Typically a breast implant size increase of 50cc is barely noticeable to the patient or anyone else; an increase of 100cc is a modest increase; and 150-200cc is a substantial and very noticeable increase.None of the modalities to approximate final results from breast
implants are 100% accurate; they merely facilitate the patient and the
board certified PS concurring on the size and type of breast implant
which will come the closest to reaching the patient's goal. My patients
prefer to try on sizers under garments they typically wear to determine
if they fit as expected and help allay some of their trepidation
associated with this decision. Have another conversation with your PS
and ask to try on a profile bra with 590 cc sizers under a tailored blouse, tight sweater, swimsuit, workout
clothes, tank tops, and other garments you typically wear so that you
have the best idea of whether the garments fit as desired with the
implant selected.  I would recommend that you go with the size
that boosts your self-esteem, and fits your anatomy.

Dear LatinGirl06,
breast implant type and sizing selection is a complicated process and requires a detailed consultation that includes a discussion of your goals, a detailed examination, and a lengthy discussion. But the decision will always start and end with the patient. When it comes to sizing, we have all of our patients find 3 photos of their desired breast size. We ask for naked breast photos because clothing can obscure the true size (push up bras). Next, we consult with patients and go over the photos and take detailed breast measurements during a physical exam. Next, we using a sizing algorithm to determine a range of implants that will work based on the exam and the measurements.Lastly, during the operation, we use silicone sizers in the operating room to see how the size actually looks in the breast. We sit the patient up in the operating room, while asleep of course, and compare the sizer result with their desired look photos. If it is too small, we start the process over with a slightly larger implant. We don't stop until we get the perfect match.Of all of my breast augmentation patients, every one of them has been happy with their size due to this detailed and meticulous process. You don't want to invest time and money into a result that is either too big or too small.You should discuss your concerns with a board-certified plastic surgeon and make sure that your surgeon understands your goals.
