Could a doctor accidentally put in wrong the cc's?

Question

I received 375cc high profile implants however they look smaller than I expected. Could the surgeon accidently have put in the wrong ccs without realizing it?

Hi & thanks for your question!
It is not likely that the surgeon placed the wrong implants, but it could happen. Contact your surgeon for the size used for your surgery. Best wishes!

I will talk to her surgeon, however they likely gave you the implant cards that were associated with the implants that they placed. There should be a specific identification number that was associated with each implant that were put in your breast every implant has one of these cards.

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

It is unlikely but not impossible. The implants come with a card that contains the size and type of implant.  If your surgeon hasn't given it to you it should be in your records.  I encourage you to speak to your surgeon about your concerns.

Dear Terrific227246,
it is unlikely that you got the wrong size of implants. You should get a card with the size of your implants. If you have any concerns, I would suggest discussing them with your plastic surgeon.

It is unlikely that your plastic surgeon put in the wrong size implant. Ask him/her about it. You can also ask for a copy of implant card containing information regarding the size/type of implant used.
Best of luck!
