Desire For Larger Breasts Post Breast Augmentation

Congratulations. Your plastic surgeon did an incredible job of making everything look natural. Now that the implants have been in for 7 months, your tissue has stretched and you should have no difficulty having larger implants placed. The real problem is knowing what size you want as the final finished product. Unfortunately, sizing of breasts by bra size becomes very confusing to both patients and sometimes even plastic surgeons. The brassiere industry has... more

Improvement in an already very nice result

Hi there- You appear to have achieved a very nice result, which was likely all that was possible (from a size point of view) at the time your surgery was done, considering the tight and thick nature of your skin and lack of breast tissue. If, now that your skin and tissues have stretched a bit, you would like to achieve a larger size, this would be a relatively simple endeavor requiring simple exchange of your implants for larger ones.

I see a difference between the posted befores and afters. But if not satisfied seek additional surgery.

Breast augmentation size

You look very good. In a patient with a completely flat chest, the plastic surgeon must balance the patient's desire for augmentation against the amount skin and tightness of that skin around the newly enlarged breast. I think your surgeon did the best that he could given your starting point, which is appropriate for your height and weight. Your healing is near or at completion. If you remain dissatisfiedi with the size of your implants, you could consider a reaugmentation to a larger... more

Too Small after Breast Augmentation

Based on your pictures and the fact that you were flat-chested preoperatively, I believe you have had a nice result. I find that in flat-chested patients you cannot always place a larger implant at the initial surgery due to the tightness of the tissue. If you place too large an implant initially and the tissue doesn't stretch, you can end up with an unnatural appearing breast that looks fake. It is also true that larger diameter implants could have increased your... more

You feel like you are too small after Breast Augmentation

Bras are not regulated, so a Warners B cup is a Victoria Secret C which is a Fredericks of Hollywood D. And a 32D is the exact same cup as a 34C. So there are many factors that come into play as to what cup size you may be. Generally I tell my patients that for a average size patient (5 foot 6 and 120 pounds) a total of 520 cc (which is the size of the implant AND the size of the breast tissue you started with) is a middle C in a Warners bra. This can vary with the... more

Too small after Breast Augmentation

Thank you for the question and pictures. Aesthetically speaking you appear to have achieved a very nice result after breast augmentation surgery. Since you are 7 months out of surgery I did not expect the breasts to change significantly. If you feel that you're too small re augmentation with larger implants can be done with relatively minor recovery time. If you decide to proceed with the revisionary breast augmentation surgery it will be very important to... more
