Answer: Rice test
To notice a difference in implant size we generally recommend that you increase the implant volume by at least 75 cc. The rice test could give you an approximate volume. You could also seek a board certified plastic surgeon who has a 3D imaging system like the Vecra system, to morph your image with different implant volumes.

Answer: Implant Size
Remember that Plastic Surgery is an art and not a science. Think in terms of small, medium or large. A cc is a very small measure of volume, i.e. 5cc in a teaspoon. Smallest implant made, not custom ordered is around 200 cc. Unless you are under 5 feet in height do not waste your money on an implant in the 200 cc range. The size of your implant depends on your chest size, the amount of breast tissue that you have, and your desires. There is no sense in fretting over whether you need a 300 cc implant or a 325 cc as most women are at least that different in volume naturally. The rice test is a good general determinator, but common sense should tell you that if you are as flat as a wall that rice filled stocking with 500 cc of rice will not fit.
