Answer: 360 versus 420 cc implants. While most breast augmentation results are realized at 6wks, larger augmentations may appear and feel larger for 3- 5 months. The newer gel implants can feel larger and tighter for a longer period of time. We usually try to get a sense of desired fill or size at the preop visit so the patient knows we need some latitude for operative adjustment. If a patient is adamant about being too large overall, we tend to insert a smaller size. Again, a D versus a C may vary with bra styles and manufacturers. Assess the size at 3-5 months for now. We have had a few athletic patients raise concerns over larger size at first, only to be satisfied and very happy at 6 to 12 months. Some of those patients with large augmentations, over a year or more, have settled and relaxed so much, that they wished we would have gone yet a bit larger. About 26% of patients with primary augmentation feel they should have gone a little larger, once the implants feel part of their body and well incorporated into their new look. The very slender toned patient is more prone to concern if they have gone from an A to D cup.

Answer: Breast implants too big Thank you for your question. If after 3 months you still feel your implants are too large then replacement with smaller implants should be possible. Please discuss this in detail with your plastic surgeon. You may also request copies of your operative note to better understand why you did not receive the size that you thought you were getting.
