About a year ago I got 325cc put in under the muscle, I am not happy and I think they are too small still. I can’t decide if I want to go up 150cc or 200cc. I don’t want them to still be too small but I don’t want them to be too big that I ruin my body. I am 25 and 125lbs.
Answer: Going Bigger Good morning!200cc, no doubt- there is such a little difference between adding 150 or 200cc that you will likely second guess yourself well into the future if you choose the smaller of the two options. I find those 3D imaging systems to be so misleading, they are really only a marketing tool- try actual sizers or even the simple rice test! Sometimes technology only makes it worse!

Answer: Size This question is best answered by your surgeon who has examined and measured you. You do not want to get implants that are too heavy for your frame and tissue.

Answer: Breast Implant Revision - Should I go up 150cc or 200cc? I am not happy with my 325cc. Thank you for your question. While imaging technologies are always fun and can be very helpful, I do find that when discussing implant exchanges that the imaging becomes less helpful. Upsizing of implants is very personal and there is a lot more that goes into the decision of volume increased based on the patients goals and current implant type, size and profile. Generally speaking, 25cc is the equivalent of a shot glass worth of volume. Most patients will find that they need at least 100-150cc to achieve a perceivable increase in breast size when staying with saline or silicone gel implants. When going from saline to silicone gel, patients often need at least double that. Given your smaller frame, I would caution you from going too large with your implant size. Remember that your complication risk can also increase as implant volume increases. I would suggest scheduling a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon and that you spend some time finding a few goal photos to help illustrate your goals. Are you looking for more projection? Are you looking for more upper pole fullness? Are you looking for both? These questions can be easily answered by talking at length about your present concerns, your goals, the goal photos that you have and after consideration of your anatomy and the implants you currently have. I hope that this helps. I wish you all the best.
