Breast expanders wrong size - what are my options?

kassie_s
My expanders are currently filled to 350cc's. My surgeon says he can only safely do one more fill of 50cc to a total of 400cc. I have Mentor Artoura Smooth high profile expanders. Im 5'4 160lbs. How big of a cup size will this get me? How much can these be overfilled? I wanted to be a large c cup or small d and he knew this prior to mastectomy. I'm very upset. What are my options? Should I seek a 2nd opinion? I had a nipple and skin sparing mastectomy with no complications.
