I have 500cc tissue expanders and Im so very unhappy with the size due to my own breast being bigger. I have gone through too much depression and pain. I told the surgeon I wanted to be a D cup and this is what I have so far. Can I get bigger implants once the expanders are removed?
I had a double Masectomy. The PS used tissue expanders with alloderm. I was filled to 360 at the time of surgery. The more they fill the further under my armpits they go. Half of my boob hangs out of a tank top. Is this normal? I am at 540 CC's currently and can't tell how big they are because they look weird. I look almost flat chested from the front. My PS is telling me it won't look this way after the exchange. I am 52 165 and was an A cup before my surgery.
My expander is currently filled to 580cc, my surgeon ordered a high profile 700 cc implant for the exchange. I dont understand bc they said to overfill bigger than implant so why would she order 120 cc larger, also worried 700cc is way to big for me. Im 52 and 120 lbs. I only learned of the size she orerded when I met with the scheduler so Im trying to decide if I should make an appointment to discuss my fears or just trust her.
I'd like to know if weigth changes could affect reconstructed breasts with anatomical silicone implants. I had bilateral modified radical mastectomies.I've got expanders in at present, no radiation. I'll have anatomical silicone implants of 510 cc or so. I weigth 147 pounds (67 kg) and I'm 5' 4 (1 m 64 cm) tall. I'm eating healhy and I'm doing exercise at present. I actually have lost 2 kgs. If I lose more weigth, would it affect bilateral breasts reconstruction? And if I gain weigth?Thx.
The pockets already exist since I had the reconstruction 18 mos ago. My cs put in 355cc textured teardrop Mentor mod plus+ profile silicone implants. Now I am having a revision surgery done, and I want that wow factor look. My cs is going to put in 500cc smooth round Mentor mod plus+ silicone implants. What I really want is a head-turning bust when I want to show it off in low-cut dresses or bikinis. And I want to wear non-padded bras. Yet I want to be able to downplay them when I want to.
I had delayed Breast Reconstruction surgery 7 weeks ago. I'm 5 foot 7 and 145 pounds. So far I have 500 cc's in my TE's. I would like to get to a small D in size. How many cc's more will I need to reach my desired small D size?
I Had a Bilateral Mastectomy and my Surgeon Suggests 550cc Expander Inflation so that my breasts arent too far apart. I am 5'2 and feel that breast will be too large. I do NOT want large breast in fact before my mastecomy I had a breast reduction and still felt by breast were too big at a C cup. What size will I be at 500cc or 550cc? His nurse also suggest that I keep expanding to 600cc. I dont think they are listening to me that I want to be porportionate but dont want large breast.
I had a skin sparing mastectomy due to the BRCA 2 gene. I am about 5'1" tall and about 125lbs. My expanders were filled to 500cc and they looked huge. I had silicone implants put in at 450/500 both sides two days ago and they look so small. My surgeon said they would give me a full C cup, but they barely look an average B cup. I'm so disappointed. I was a C cup prior to this and I wanted to stay that way. Will they fill out to a C cup after they settle?
I had one breast removed and am going through the reconstruction process. My current size is a small B, appx 340 cc in volume in the good breast. I am considering going to a full 500cc. So a full 500cc silicone gel implant to the removed breast and augmenting the the other to match with a smaller implant (150). I think that will give me a full size C but don't know for sure. I am 5'11 and 155 lb, long torso. I am still very active so want to keep it comfortable but be a little fuller.
