Second Round Breast Augmentation. Unhappy With Results, What to Do? (photo)

My wife recently got a breast augmentation in the last 48hrs. This is her second augmentation in 6 yrs. She had 3 consultations with the DR prior to surgery. She made it very clear to him she wanted the "Big fake Breast look", 36 DD's, with cleavage, sitting up high. She provided the DR with tons of photos. In her consultations she mentioned multiple times high profile implants, he told her she did not need that. She unwrapped them and they are none of the above: size, set, cleavage. Any advice?

Unhappy with Breast Augmentation

If you think that you can still get a better result I would have 3 different consultations and thus far, find out what the best solution is. If two or more agree than that is most likely the right thing to do.

Different Breast Augmentation Results Than Anticipated

Hello, Thank you for sharing the photographs of your wife. I believe that it is too early to judge the final results of your wife's surgery. Since it is your wife's third surgery, many factors will limit the options a surgeon can take to provide your wife with the size, shape and position of her implants. I encourage your wife to keep her surgeon in the loop of her recovery progress and to have a little more patience. Best of luck to her and thank you... more

Breast augmentation result

It is not always possibe to achieve a specific look after breast implants regardless of how many pictures were shown to the surgeon. the result will depend on many factors, like skin condition, previous surgery, actual measurements etc... also, very little time has passed to accurately assess the results so I advise you to wait a few weeks and continue to follow up with the surgeon before any decision is made regarding result.

Results after augmentation

At 48 hours it is far too early to evaluate what size or shape you wife's breasts will eventually be. Particularly if a "fake" look with large implants is the goal, it is sometimes impossible to achieve in a single or even (as in your wife's case) two procedures. It can take time for the skin to stretch enough to accommodate the larger implants. So be patient and see how she looks in a few months.

Unhappy with a secondary breast augmentation

Sorry for your wife's dissappointment in having what may prove to be a very nice result after a breast augmentation. It is way too early to make a judgement about a surgical result at two days after the completion of the surgery. It is so important for a Plastic Surgeon to establish with our discussions with patients what may be possible for a given patient and what may not , and this has more to do with shape of the breasts, balance of the size as it relates to the chest shape,... more

Unhappy with breast size after augmentation

Sorry to hear that you aren't happy with the results. There are some limitations, however, with the look a surgeon can produce after an augmentation. It appears that your wife did receive large implants, but it is likely that she has had skin relaxation from her previous surgery. This is quite common. The comparison photos are likely patients with little breast tissue, large implants and only several months from their surgery - and, just because they have it doesn't mean that it could... more
