I am unhappy with my results! I am 5'1 , 100 pounds petite frame with 304cc silicone & unders.

I feel like that is soo small on me & that once the swelling goes down I will only be a B cup. My main goal was for C cup & I don't think I will be. Already thinking of having a re- done. Originally had agreed on 325cc but the doctor felt that it was too big for me & that I would topple, look not proportionate. Please help, advices!

Too small after 304cc silicone implants--325 would still be too small!

Good honest communication is the key, and your surgeon may have made the best compromise at the time. Besides, there is little if any difference 304 to 325. Give yourself time, and if your implants are pretty,... more

You are immediately post op -- give it time to heal. If after a few month, you can always have bigger ones put it -- but you would have to go into the 450 - 550 range to make a significant difference.

You just had surgery and your stiches are not removed yet. You need to consider the limitation of you breast tissue and your frame. There is not much difference between 325 and 304 cc implants.
