After MM and BA Cc Recommendation I Still Want Bigger. Who' Responsible for Cost?

I just had a MM March 9th and couldn't be happier. Love my PS and his office. My question is I had an BA exchange from old saline implants sized 350cc from 1995. I switched to silicone and asked for a full d or small dd...PS gave me 445 cc silicone. He seemed reluctant to go too much larger. To me, granted I am 10,days post op but doesn't seem like I swelled at all in the breast area, I feel I am just about the same size as before which was a full c. Revision possible? And who pays, PS or me?

Who is responsible for cost of upsizing breast implants

First of all, I'm happy to hear that you are overall very satisfied with your results and your experience with your Plastic Surgeon. It is impossible to guarantee that a specific cup size will result from your breast augmentation. A pre-operative discussion of cup size goals is definitely helpful to understand our patients' specific goals and to try to achieve the volume that you desire, but cup sizes are highly variable amongst different bra manufacturers and are not a... more

If you get a good result from a breast augmentation, don't risk it on another operation to be a little bigger.

It is my practice not to charge the patient an additional professional fee for a revision. However, your surgeon chose a much larger implant, so you cannot be smaller than before.

Too Small after Revisionary Breast Augmentation Surgery?

Thank you for the question. Unfortunately, no plastic surgeon can guarantee a specific cup size after breast augmentation or revisionary press augmentation surgery. Your plastic surgeon may have had specific reasons why he was “reluctant to go to much larger”. Sometimes it is not possible to go larger without significant risks. I would agree with you that it is too early to evaluate the end results of surgery. I would give yourself at least 3 to 6 months before making... more

Still want bigger after augmentation

A revision is certainly an option if you wish to have a fuller breast implant and a fuller cup size. The implant number is a guess at best, and even a cup size can be deceiving. Photos may do a better job for the right 'look'. I hope you showed your surgeon your ideal DD-cup.

Post Op, I Want Bigger Breast Implants Than I Agreed To - Who Pays?

Congratulations on your Mommy Makeover. I am sure the results will make a positive change in your life. Ten days after surgery, everyone goes through a depression sometime between 5 days and 2 weeks post-operatively. The depression has to do with getting the anesthetics out of your system, first taking and stopping taking narcotics, the swelling, and also and most importantly, your expectations, your fears and the difference between the reality that other people see and the... more

He might discount a subsequent procedure to make your breast's larger but that would be as a favor as ultimately you would be responsible for these costs.Here is the explanation - Your Plastic Surgeon did listen to your wishes and responded appropriately by increasing your... more
