I am assuming BA stands for breast augmentation. If so, I am not sure why you would have had a drain placed. I wonder if you may have had a capsulectomy, breast lift or reduction. I usually do not place drains following a straight forward augmentation.

Based on your photograph, it does not appear that you will need a lift.The size of your implants will be based on your examination as well as on your wishes.In our office, we have sizers that will allow you to see what you can potentially look like.Good luck!

No specific diagnosis can be made without a good exam.However, based on your description, you may have protrusion of fat content from the muscle plication or a hernia. The area around the umbilicus is not completely tighten and can allow for this to happen.You should show this to your plastic surgeon on your next visit.

25 cc is a very low volume difference. The average person will not see the difference between a 375 vs 400.Go with 400 cc if your chest diameter allows it.In terms of the type of implant, if your surgeon recommended silicone for the reasons he explained, I cannot argue with that reasoning.best of luck!

Congratulation on your pregnancy. The deflated saline implant, if you choose to, can stay in place forever. It should not cause any harm to you or your baby. However, I would recommend having them replaced after you deliver and after you are done breast feeding.If it has only been 3 years, it should be under warranty.

ANSWER
As your surgeon must have told you pre-operatively, you can not see the ultimate results for 6-8 weeks post op.As the implants settles and the swelling improves, you should be able to a see what your breast will end up looking like. Be patient. Your 5 days post op photos lookd great!
