I am 8 weeks post op and got 235 cc implants. I am dissatisfied with my size. Feel as if I have no Cleavage . Wondering if I'm able to add 100-150 cc's to my already existing implants. Or would I need to purchase new ones ?

Answer: Adding CC to implants. Thanks for your question. I am sorry to hear you are disappointed in your volume. Just adding CC to the existing implants may not solve your goals. Saline implants have a fill range. As you go beyond the fill range the shape changes from a broader flatter implant to more of a sphere. The sphere may stick out more, but the diameter of the implant will decrease, so less cleavage. A lager new implant will tend to have a wider diameter. There are other factors that determine cleavage as well. The width of your sternum and the sternal insertion of your muscle (if you are submuscular). These things can not be changed.So your PS will still have to give you realistic expectations even if you change your implants.I hope these concepts help.

Answer: Adding cc's to implants? I am sorry to hear about your concerns after breast augmentation surgery. Although it is possible to add volume to breast implants, it is usually not as simple as you may think. For example, achieving better cleavage ( if possible anatomically) may involve adjustment of breast implant pockets and the use of different size/profile of breast implants. At this point, I would suggest that you continue to exercise patience; continue close follow-up with your plastic surgeon will always be your best resource when it comes to more specific assessment and advice. Best wishes.
