Just had 300cc implants replaced with 500cc yesterday and already feel they are not big enough. Will they change? (Photo)

I had high profile 300cc saline implants for nearly 10 years and they were spaced too far apart. I went to my surgeon requesting silicone and larger implants and he suggested 500cc, mod plus. I am one day out from surgery and already disappointed in the outcome. Will they end up looking bigger than this after they settle in more? I asked for cleavage and I wanted them to be in the DD range. He told me this was a big implant. My height is 5'5 and I weigh 122. What changes could I expect?

Hello,I'm not sure what the diagnosis is other than implant malposition. Is it capsular contracture? Regardless, even a partial capsulectomy on one breast would take at least a half hour, require general anesthesia, and would cost much more than $950.  Sticking with your doctor would definitely ...

Good morning!When saline implants rupture your body absorbs the saline harmlessly. On the other hand, your implants will eventually break. There is no urgency or requirement to replace them as long as you are happy with the look, size, feel and shape, but do keep in the back of your mind that...
