Implant size issues

There seems to be a communication issue between you and your surgeon. This is something you should review with him and the office or go to someone else.

Doctor Misjudged Size Twice on Breast Implants

It seems as if there was alot of miscommunication on both parts here. IT is apparent that the first surgery may have led to an unsatisfactory outcome but learning from this, you should have had the ability to agree to size PRIOR to your second procedure.
