Should I Risk a Revision to Get Slightly Larger Breasts?
I am a 26 yr old female 5'3". 121lbs. I just recently underwent a breast aug 350 cc under the muscle at the end of may. Before augmentation I was a small A. I am now a 34c. After surgery I felt that I should have gone bigger. Now that my breasts have dropped i am starting to strongly feel I should have chosen the bigger size. What is the amt of time I have to wait to have a redo? Is it even worth it to go just 25cc bigger? Am I more at risk of complications with a redo?

A 25cc increase is hardly worth the bother
It is impossible to predict how much of a change will satisfy a given individual but a 25cc increase is quite small and the equivalent of adding about a shot glass of water to each breast. I generally advise my patients that a minimum of 100cc be added to provide a noticeable difference and to justify repeating the surgery.

Be careful for what you wish for!
A 25 cc increase will go unnoticed by EVERYONE! Including YOU! The risks certainly do no out weigh the benefits! Also remember increasing the size so that there is a noticeable difference 100 cc or greater carries it's own risks of a heavier implant stretching the skin and thinning the breast tissue.

Avoid revision breast augmentation for minimal change.
Hi.
1) A difference of 25 cc's in breast implants is hardly noticeable.
2) I would advise you not to go too big. Very big implants stretch your tissues and age very poorly.

Revision of Augmentation
You probably should wait a few months to make certain that you wish to change the size of your implants. If you still feel inclined to do so after waiting, you may want to have an even larger implant, as 25cc is less than 2 tablespoons and is not a significant difference in size.
