I recently underwent breast augmentation at the end of May. I told my PS I wanted to go bigger (from an A cup) but wanted to still look natural. I had 2 sizes to choose from 350 cc and 375 cc submuscular. I chose the 350. Post op I felt I should've chosen the bigger size and now my feelings of regret are growing stronger. I have had friends undergo BA's and are completely happy. I am not happy with the size I chose at all. Is it normal for me to feel this way? Any recommendations?

Answer: Breast Augmentation Patient Unhappy she did not get a bigger size Unfortunately, this is a common experience for many breast enlargement patients. The most common failure is to rush into surgery without proper consultation or to choose the wrong surgeon for your goals/objectives. There may need to be multiple consultations for a patient to be properly informed and to properly express her goals/objectives to the surgeon. Both the surgeon and the patient needs to be patient with the proper development of a surgical plan. The size of the implants are based on a combination of a patient's goals and objectives and her anatomy. In order to provide a natural looking augmentation, the surgeon needs to evaluate many factors including soft tissue coverage, skin laxity, chest wall width, breast imprint width, the shape of the breasts and relative level of constriction to ensure that the breast implants are appropriate for your body. Consult with 3 experienced and expert board certified plastic surgeons to understand your objectives.
