Breast Implant Replacement for Bigger Breasts?

I had my Breast Augmentation 3 months ago (350cc Sil Mod+ unders) from 32A to 32 Full C. The recovery was easy, no complications so far. My breasts look beautiful and natural.

My PS gave me what I asked for initially. However, boobie greed hits me hard! I wan't more projection, bigger boobs! I want a little fakey look (Full D). I'm thinking about redo for a bigger size, maybe 425cc Sil HP unders. Should I wait to do the redo after several years? Should I risk myself for a redo? Let me know what you think. Thanks!

Let things mature first before breast implant replacement

Hello, Waiting a bit for your tissues to complete their adjustment to the implants makes sense. This usually takes 6-12 months. Then see what your surgeon may do for you. Perhaps he or she will give you a break on a redo if you are nice. Also the size difference you are asking about will likely make little difference. Maybe talk to your surgeon about that as well.

Have a heart to heart talk with your surgeon

Obviously you are generally happy with your surgeon and the wsurgery itself. I would have a sincere discuss with your surgeonregarding your thoughts. Many things might change with a seemingly simple change of implant including increased side effects and complications (sensory changes, rippling, long-term atrophy, etc.). Also, your surgeon should re-analyze your anatomy to determine whether it is projection, volume, or width that will achieve what you desire. he might have to do capsutomies... more
