For example, if you posted a picture of a patient with an implant size that reads 300 cc's, is that the actual size of the implant or what was filled into the implant? I'm scheduled to get a 250 cc Mentor Moderate Plus saline implant filled to 300. I'm trying to look at pictures online, but am not sure if I should look at augmentations labeled 250cc's or 300 cc's.

Answer: What do cc's mean?
When we talk about the size of the implant we refer to the final fill volume of the implant.
I do not recommend making your decisions based on online photos alone, as they may not be accurate. Your surgeon should size you by taking accurate measurements of your chest and breasts and deciding with you what the appropriate size is to achieve your goals.
Best of luck

Answer: Understanding implant volume First, don't rely on pictures to help decide your implant size. In terms of volume, silicone implants are prefilled so the size in cc's is what is stated; saline implants have a nominal size that is the minimum fill, and a fill volume which is how much is put in.
