I currently have 650cc's Saline high profile implants. I am 5'3 and weigh 120lbs. I would like to replace with 800 high profile Saline implant filled to 850. Will the 200 more cc's make that much of a difference, cup size wise?
Answer: 200 cc would likely make a difference Dizzle, 200 cc would likely make a difference, but think carefully before adding even high volume implants. In addition to adding additional weight, you will be stretching out your tissues considerably.

It is very difficult to say what you cup size will be with an increase of 250cc. In regards to breast size, the more breast surgery I do the more I realize that there is no correlation between the size of implant and resulting cup size. This may have to do with several factors including: the amount of breast volume the patient starts with, the shape of the patient's chest wall (concave or convex), the type and model of breast implant selected (saline/silicone and low/moderate/high profile), bra manufacturer variance in cup sizes, the degree of filling of the cup with breast tissue, and the subjective differences in patients perceptions of cup size.
If surgery is decided upon, it will be very important to communicate your size goals with your surgeon. In my practice, the use of photographs of “goal” pictures (and breasts that are too big or too small) is very helpful. I have found that the use of words such as “natural” or “C cup” or "fake looking" means different things to different people and therefore prove unhelpful.
Also, as you know, cup size varies depending on who makes the bra; therefore, discussing desired cup size may also be inaccurate.
I use intraoperative sizers and place the patient in the upright position to evaluate breast size. Use of these sizers also allow me to select the press implant profile (low, moderate, moderate plus, high-profile) that would most likely achieve the patient's goals. The patient's goal pictures are hanging on the wall, and allow for direct comparison.
I have found that this system is very helpful in improving the chances of achieving the patient's goals as consistently as possible.
I hope this helps.

Answer: It will make a difference. Yes, 200 cc will make a difference possibly 1/2 to one cup sizes. On your frame 850 cc will be very big. There are potentially more complications with an implant this size, most notably poor soft tissue support and implant droop or displacement. It is not my place to talk you out of this size of implant, but it is important that patients realize these increased risks with very large implants.

Answer: Discuss with a board certified plastic surgeon first 200 cc will make a difference fo sure. How much difference depends on other factors like your breast diameter, etc..You already have a very large implant, so you need to discuss this option carefuly with a board certified plastic surgeon. In many cases, it is not the volume that matters, but the shape and the medical and lateral extension of your dissection. Increasing the volume especially to that level could be counter-productive. Hope that helps!

Answer: 200 cc's will be noticeable Hi there, I think that given your relatively small frame, the volume increase you describe would produce a noticeable size increase. The main point to emphasize, however, is that you should do your homework on the long-term effects of such a large implant too. Very large implants are of course heavier implants, and over time will cause a significant change in your skin and soft tissues which may lead to premature sagging of your breasts (possibly leading you to feel like all of the money you've invested in their appearance was for a short term benefit) and the need for more frequent surgery than might have been the case with smaller implants (for example, if you decide you need a breast lift to deal with all of the new, stretchy skin). Be careful that what you think you want now doesn't cause you a problem you'll be dealing with for many years in the future. The elasticity of soft tissues, once lost, cannot be regained. We can sometimes camouflage lost elasticity by removing skin, but the quality of the skin is never the same once it has been stretched to this degree.
