How long till I can get a revision for bigger implants? (photo)

We make our patients wait a few months. Sometimes they realize that they are actually big enough. It takes 6-8 weeks for the inflammation surrounding the implant to abate. At that time you can safely go larger. If only a small amount of an increase would make you happy, liposuction with fat transfer to the breast can give you a more athletic abdomen and larger breast. Good luck.

When it comes to breast surgery, there is no specific/accurate correlation between size of breast implant used and specific cup size achieved.  Therefore, discussing goals or evaluating outcome of surgery based on specific cup sizes can be a source of miscommunication and/or disappointment. Generally speaking, the best online advice I can give to ladies who are considering revisionary breast augmentation surgery ( regarding breast implant size/profile selection) is:1. Concentrate on choosing your plastic surgeon carefully.  Concentrate on appropriate training, certification, and the ability of the plastic surgeon to achieve the results you are looking for. Ask to see lots of examples of his/her work.  2.  Again, have a full discussion and communication regarding your desired goals with your plastic surgeon. This communication will be critical in determining which operation and/or breast implant size/type/profile will most likely help achieve your goals.In my practice, the use of photographs of “goal” pictures (and breasts that are too big or too small) is very helpful. I have found that the use of words such as “natural” or "DD cup" etc means different things to different people and therefore prove unhelpful. Also, as you know, cup size varies depending on who makes the bra; therefore, discussing desired cup  size may also be inaccurate.   Therefore, I ask that my patients not base their communication preoperatively OR  their satisfaction with the outcome of surgery postoperatively, on achieving a specific cup size.  3.  Once you feel you have communicated your goals clearly,  allow your plastic surgeon to use his/her years of experience/judgment to choose the breast implant size/profile that will best meet your goals.  Again, in my practice, this decision is usually made during surgery.  The use of temporary intraoperative sizers, viewing the patient's breasts in the upright and supine position, are very helpful during the breast implant selection process.I hope this, and the attached link (dedicated to  revisionary breast augmentation concerns), helps.  Best wishes.
