Not much of a difference at all. Think of it this way: a shot glass is 30 cc's and the 40 cc's difference is less than 3 tablespoons (45 cc's).

The difference between 560 and 600 cc's is very small. To give you a point of reference, 5 cc's is one teaspoon. Your surgeon will be able to help you decide on which side is more appropriate for your anatomy and your goals. Good luck and be safe.

Just a very small difference, but that also depends on your body and breast volume now, especially submammary placement.

There is hardly any difference between those two sizes. So I would always recommend the larger of the two as most patients always wish they went bigger.

Obviously the 600cc are slightly larger; 40cc's to be exact. The difference is minimal, but there is some difference.

The appearance difference would likely be subtle to the untrained eye.

Good morning!

The difference in appearance between 560 and 600cc is pretty minimal. You would likely see slightly increased upper pole fullness with a 600 and perhaps a tiny bit more projection.

I hope this helps

Implants of the SAME size can vary depending on the projection and "fill" percentage of the two implants. The difference between 560 and 600 cc's is only 40 cc's (less than 10 percent) but the appearance will vary more in width and projection depending on which style the patient chooses.

The answer to that question depends upon what type of breast those implants are being placed in. For example, if somebody has very little breast tissue to begin with, then that 40 mL difference can make a bigger difference. However, if that patient has adequate amount of breast tissue, then that their difference maybe more subtle. Therefore, placing two different size implants is common and can be used to improve two different breasts to improve symmetry.

Not much of a difference at all! It usually takes about 100cc to see a difference and 200cc to make a cup size. If you are debating between 560cc and 600cc, go for the 600cc- it's hardly ever a mistake to go bigger when debating between two sizes!

I had breast augmentation 6 weeks ago and they seem to have settled but i'm unsure. I'm feel like they are too small. I have tried on bras and I measure into a 32DD as well as 34 C sister size (I was a 32a prior). How long will it take for my breast to drop and fluff? I also have a gap in between which makes it difficult to achieve cleavage.

I had a breast augmentation on April 8th. I feel like they are shaped funny and not as big as I wanted. I went submuscular. Prior to the surgery, I was a 38 B and now I have 560 cc silicone gel Inspira implants. I was hoping to be a DD. Should I have gone bigger? Will my breast take a more natural shape? When is a good time to get a new bra, and will I be a DD once my breasts have settled and healing is complete?

I thought I was getting 400cc high profile silicone but my PS said they'll be 400cc moderate plus. I wanted a natural but big look, a D cup, and a small gap. Maybe that's why he chose those? Is there much difference in projection?

My breast augmentation is next Saturday and I am hesitating between 225 and 250cc submuscular silicone! I am a 32A/tiny B and fill up a 32B bra at Victoria's Secret. I am looking to be a full B/small C. I'm 5"6 and weigh around 100lbs. I am so scared I'm going to look disproportional and fake, but am also scared this is going to make me go too small. My goal is to look natural and proportional, while at the same time have a nice rack. Which implant do you think will give me the desired look?

I'm a little lost on the XL implants matter, that I personally like. Are they really unsafe? What are the reasons for that? It seems most PS don't recommend/perform them. Is it by lack of experience/expertise? Idealism? Are those PS who perform these procedures just "warriors" responding to a well present market? I would be curious to hear some honest answers, leaving the politically/socially correct behind. Thanks in advance.

I am 5"4 and 145lbs. I am currently a 34C and would like to be a Dcup. My PS recommend a lift. I informed him i wanted implants but still want a natural look. PS recommended 485cc smooth moderate plus silicone obove the mucle. Possible mini lift during surgery depending on how the implant looks during surgery. It just sounds like a lot of CCs. It doesn't feel right and now I'm freaking out.

I'm currently a large C-cup. My doctor said with 600cc I will end up around a DD. I'm fine with that but 600cc seems really big. Can my frame really handle that big of an implant and not look like Dolly Parton? I'm 5ft 8 in tall, 160lbs, size 10, wide shoulders.

I know there is a vast amount of factors that go into breast augmentation, lifts, and implant manufacturer costs alongside anesthesia, facility, meds, and other costs. But in your experience what is a ball park cost range you typically see for breast augmentation, and breast augmentation + lift. It'd be very helpful if you share a range like 9-10k or 6-7k, etc. Thanks!
