I am 24 years old 5'9 140 lbs. Three months ago I had breast augmentation with 400cc silicone implants. I was a large A before. Now that the swelling is gone I am very disappointed and want to go larger soon. I can wear a 36 C or 34 D. They look like a large C. Without a push up bra I do not achieve my desired look. I would like to get larger implants at 6 months. I'm thinking 500cc - 550 cc. Is there any reason my doc wouldn't do this?

Answer: How soon to replace implants with larger size
you are tall and taller women usually can get away with larger implants, that said, it is important to find out if the new larger implant can safely fit in your breast and that you have to discuss with your board certified plastic surgeon. as far as timing, 6 months is plenty to have the implants replaced but remember the larger you go, the heavier they get and the quicker they will drop/sag. Again check with your surgeon to find out if that is safe or not and how much bigger you can go based on your measurment and examination.

Answer: Going larger with a breast implant
There are many reasons your doctor may not do this and one of the most important is your anatomy. IF your existing breast diameter is small, exceeding this could result in an undesireable appearance. Furthermore, at your relatively thin body weight, you are more likely sustain long term consequences of ptosis (sagging) with a larger implant. That having been said, if you are willing to sustain these additional risks, six months is a reasonable time to consider revision, although I prefer nine months.
