Disappointed About Breast Augmentation Size?

I had BA 3 years ago. I'm 1,72cm tall (67inch), weight 59kg (130lbs), my ribcage is 77cm (30inches). I used to be A and now I'm between B-C. I wanted to be small D, my surgeon decided 330cc anatomic Sebbin implants under the muscle. I've never liked the result, I think they are too small for me. Also one of the implants is slightly rotated, around 45º, and they are 5cm separated from each other so I don't have any cleavage. I'm so unhappy. If I redo, which implant size would you reccomend?

Disappointed About Breast Augmentation Size

Hard to answer without photos and breast measurements. One thing you can do at home is a "rice test." Fill stocking with rice and use them to pad your breast until you find a suitable size. Wear a stretchable sports bra while doing this. With that info, you and your surgeon can help choose the best size to approach your goal size.

Getting Breast Augmentation Revision Right: The Implant is not the problem, it's the technique

The problems that you describe are all too common. The reality of breast augmentation is that most women have similar results and are simply not aware that there is a better option. The most commonlyt used technique is the "dual-plane" subpectoral placement. this sets up the implants for lateral and inferior malposition. The top of the breast has muscular coverage and because of the pectoralis major's origination next to the sternum, the implants are pushed away... more

Breast implant revision sizing

Is not possible to pick the exact implant without examining you. Measurement of the breast dimensions and looking at desired postoperative photographs will give most plastic surgeons a very good idea of what you require. In a revision, I think frequently depend heavily on photographs you selected and trial of temporary sizers implants at surgery to see what gets you closest to the photographs you picked. see video

Obviously every one is different, but with the info you have given, I would go with a smooth round implant, 425cc-475cc, which should put you in the large C to D cup range. Good luck.

Best Breast Implant Size/ Profile to Achieve D Cup?

Thank you for the question but it is not possible to give you precise advice online. You will do well by selecting your plastic surgeon carefully. Once you have done so, communicate your goals carefully. In my practice, I use goal pictures to help with this communication process. I would also suggest that you do not use cup sizes during the communication process or as a measure of the success of the operation. As you know, cup sizes will vary from one bra manufacturer to... more

Disappointed about breast augmentation size

I think the best way for you to approach this is to get a consultation from a plastic surgeon. Probably a different one if you feel that he did not listen to your desires. Let the surgeon measure the base diameter of your breasts, and examine you. Judging by the information you gave, I would think that round smooth mod profile implants (which is my recommended style implant), in the 425-450 cc range would be ideal. I do not like to put in implants larger than 500 cc as I have found that... more

How Much Bigger Should the Implants Be in the Revision Augmentation

First, you may want to consider round implants as they do not have the rotational issues. Second if you want to go up a little over a cup size you will probably need between 500 and 550 cc. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

Disappointed With Breast Size

It is difficult to give an opinion without the aid of pictures and at least a cursory knowledge of your breast dimensions. Having said that, cup size is more of an "guesstimate" rather than an actual measurement. Therefore using cup size as a determinant of breast size is not the best of reference point. Just think of when you buy bras. One may purchase 2 bras exact in every way down to the maker, but they will not usually fit the same. You might also have bras of differing sizes and makes... more
