Breast Implant Size Misunderstanding

Regardless of what a picture of your result would show, it is clear that there has been a significant miscommunication about the desired breast size result. Based on your description of being a full A/small B after surgery, it appears there has been more than just a minor misunderstanding. Your best recourse is to revisit this issue with your original surgeon as he/she is in the best position to see what can now be done with the economics of additional surgery to get you to your breast size... more

Pick implant size before surgery

There is no perfect way to select implant size to make sure that you will be happy in the long run. Similarly, the cup size system is not really adequate to describe breast size. We spend quite a bit of time having the patient try on implant sizers before surgery and specifically no cup size promise. So the resolution of your concern will depend on how the determination of implant size was made.

Unhappy with size after Breast Augmentation

Hi there- I'm very sorry your aren't happy.... Unfortunately, patient satisfaction with size is one of the more common complications nationally after breast augmentation, and its correction (because it requires surgery) can be expensive.

Breast augmentation issues

I am sorry that you are unhappy with your final result. You should speak with your surgeon regarding exchange ot a larger size. I spend alot of time with patients pre-op to try to figure out exactly what they want for this very reason.

Inadequate breast augmentation

If you remain... more

Too small after breast augmentation

Too small or too large after breast augmentation is poor communication about the desired goal. The 'fix' can be expensive and it pays to be clear with discussions and photos ahead to get the look you are after. Some surgeons will replace implants for a significantly reduced fee so you might ask. Best of luck, peterejohnsonmd.com

Too small

Every plastic surgeon has a different approach. I tell my patient that of they are unhappy with the size within one year, I will replace the implants for the cost of, anesthesia, the implants and an or fee only. Talk to your doctor.

Too Small after Breast Augmentation

Thank you for your question. it is not clear how long ago you had your surgery. I generally suggest waiting 3 to 6 months after surgery before judging the final results. If at that point you still feel that you are too small I would suggest calm, nonaccusatory communication with your plastic surgeon. Most plastic surgeons will do everything they can to make sure they end up with happy patients. If revisionary surgery is decided upon it will be very important to... more
