Has my dr chosen the wrong implants for what I was after? (Photo)

Question

I had 320cc Silimed Tear Drop Textured implants (moderate profile) placed under the muscle 7 weeks ago. I was originally a 10A bra. the implant specs are 11.9cm wide 11.9cm high and 4.9cm projection. I am a bit disappointed as I don't seem to have the side boob or fullness around base like I asked dr for. My doc said that it will take 6 months to get the final shape. Im not sure if the have ''d & f'' but I am really upset, has my doctor chosen the wrong implant for me.

Hi There.  Thanks for the questions and photos.  Your breasts look great at 7 weeks and will continue to look better as the months pass.  My concern with having 'side boobs' is that they can interfere with your day to day activities and you might regret if the implant is too wide, in the future!  Best wishes to you!

Far more important than the technique is the skill and experience of your plastic surgeon. Choose your surgeon rather than the technique and let them explain why one technique may be better than another.  See the below link on some suggestions on finding the most qualified Plastic Surgeon for you.  Always insist on a board certified plastic surgeon.

From the photographs provided it looks as though you've gotten a pretty good result. If the breasts remain soft and natural I would leave well enough alone.

I would agree with your plastic surgeon and wait 6 months for the breast implants to settle.  However, it looks like a nice result so far!
