How Common is It for Breast Augmentation Patients to Wish They'd Gone Bigger?

Your feeling of being too small after your breast augmentation is very common.  In fact, over 90% of women all wish they had gone larger about three months after surgery.  The reason is that for the first few weeks, your breasts are swollen and larger than they really are going to be.  You get used to things that way, and when the swelling goes down and the implants settle, women say they liked it when things were swollen, etc.  I would not beat yourself up over the difference between 350cc and 375cc.  That size difference is very small ( essentially two tablespoons), so I doubt that would have made you feel perfect about the size.  I usually recommend women give it a good three months of healing up so that they are used to everything before making any sort of revision decisions.  This way, you have had time to run through the full gamut of emotions, as well as complete all the healing process.  I hope this helps.

This is the number one reason for re-operating after a #breastaugmentationif a woman wears a size 36 AB bra and would like
to be a C cup, which is the average size that women wear and the average size
bra that is sold, she needs a volume of approximately 350 to 390 cc to make
that change. This becomes less if she's wearing a 34 bra, because it has a
smaller strap size and the cups have a smaller diameter. A smaller diameter
implant would then be a volume of approximately 300 to 350 cc. In the same way
if she was more petite, maybe a double zero or size one and wore a 32 AB bra,
then to become a 32C cup she would only require about 250 to 300 cc.

What you are feeling is very, very common! Many patients choose the conservative implant size option, but then regret doing so. In fact, one of the primary reasons patients seek revision surgery is to replace their implants with something bigger. However, the difference between 350cc and 375cc isn't much, so you may have still been unhappy if you had gone with 375cc.You should consider the pros and cons of having revision surgery, carefully considering the related risks of treatment. Having larger implants will also increase the rate at which your breasts sag over time.  If you believe the pros outweigh the cons, then proceed with revision surgery. Best of luck!
