Breast Augmentation Silicone Implants - should I have chosen bigger implants for more cleavage? (Photos)

Each plastic surgeon has their own way of guiding patients through the implant selection process. some providers do this better than others.
Trying on implants by putting them in your bra is not accurate because the implant is sitting in front of your breast, not behind your pectoralis muscle.
The final outcome tends to be much smaller than the perceived size from trying a temporary implant in the bra.
I’m not sure if that’s how your plastic surgeon does it.
Some plastic surgeons ask the patient to make the final decision other surgeons will make the final decision based on input from the patient.
My preferred method is to work with before and after pictures of previous patients who had similar body characteristics.
I ask patients to bring in examples of what they feel our ideal outcomes.
Once I have a good understanding of what the patient is hoping to achieve I bring those pictures with me to the operating room to use as reference.
During surgery, I use temporary sizes to determine what size and shape implant will give the desired outcome.I typically have a full selection of implants available to me during surgery.
No method is ideal, but this has been the most successful in getting consistent outcomes that represent what the patient is hoping to achieve.
That said, anytime excessively large implants are used the chance of having undesirable outcomes, complications and need for revision surgery will always go up.
If you’re happy with your provider, then follow up with him or her.
If you want a proper second opinion consultation I suggest you schedule that as an in person consultation with other plastic surgeons in your community.
For second opinion consultations come prepared bringing with you a complete set of proper before and after pictures And a copy of your operative report.
Best,
