Considering Revision Surgery. Too Large? Mispositioning?

Don't take any of our responses too seriously. Without the ability to at least look at photos, preferable before and after surgery, we are guessing based on inadequate information! Please consider attaching some photos to your query. By four months after surgery, if you think the implants are too big, I would say it is not likely that that will change. 450cc would usually increase you by about two cup sizes, though maybe even more with a 32 inch band. As far as the breast... more

Considering Revision Surgery

It is very difficult for anyone in this forum to give you a real opinion here without seeing what is going on. It all depends on what your breasts were like before surgery to give you a good evaluation on what might have gone wrong. Every patient has different breast types with different needs. The most important issue is that you have clear communication of your goals with your surgeon. You should return to your surgeon to discuss matters further.

Revisionary Breast Surgery Options?

Thank you for the question. Although you do provide a nice description of your situation, it is really not possible to give you precise advice without direct examination or viewing pictures. I would suggest an in-person consultation with well experienced board-certified plastic surgeons. Communication about your concerns and about your goals will be critical in determining the best course of action for you. Otherwise, for more accurate online advice, consider posting frontal... more

Without pictures or seeing you in person, it is impossible to give you any advice. However, if you are not happy with your initial results, I would suggest that you discuss with your plastic surgeon. If you post before and after pictures, then we can give you some advice as well. Good luck.

Implant Size: Determination of the Correct Size for a Happy Result

Implant size determination is one of the most important decisions made in the preoperative visit with a plastic surgeon. If you wear a 32C cup bra, you likely have a narrow chest. For patients with a narrow breast width, I rarely used moderate classic Mentor implants. Narrow chests do better with narrower implants generally. However, if your doctor is a board certified plastic surgeon, there is likely a good reason why those implants were chosen for you... more

Too big or not in right position

I would definitely get in contact with your surgeon about your concerns after your augmentation. Choosing the right implant for your size and desires in shape are not always coinciding with each other, so a compromise must be met. To say your implant is too large for your body size is really a personal choice, not a formula or other person's opinion. It is quite possible that one of your implants has not fully dropped yet, but without photos it is difficult to say. Does... more

Malpositioned implants

What you are describing is very possible, but without an exam or at least photographs, it is very difficult to assess your issues.

Please send pictures

It is impossible to give good answer. Please send pictures for better evaluation. Bigger implants will have more sagging.

Considering Revision Surgery

It is very difficult to form a definitive opinion without photos and/or an in person examination. At 4 months post-op you will now start to have a good idea as to what your results will be, although in some people it can take 6 months or longer. At this juncture in your post operative period I would recommend to follow up with your plastic surgeon and make sure you communicate your concerns. Give them a chance to evaluate you and make any further recommendations to improve your outcome... more
