I had 421cc silicone breast implants about 5 months ago. The reason for the surgery was because 4 years ago, I was 145 lbs and now I am 110 lbs. After the weight loss, my breasts dropped from a D to a B and was sagging.
I asked my surgeon to put in high profile implants so that they could appear firm, high and round. Now I am very dissatisfied to find that the surgeon did not put the high profile implants like we had agreed and instead he put moderate one.
After I was released, I was not given any documentation of the type or projection of implants that were used. It was only recently when I told them I was very depressed due to my sagging implants that they informed me that they did not put in high profile implants. Is this the main reason why my breasts are sagging? I did not mind a fake look, I told my surgeon this. I just wanted high implants. What can I do now? Please help!!!

Answer: Breast implants Certainly if you are unhappy you should review this with yoru doctor. The sagging of lack of fulness, tightness, whatever, may be related to the quality of your skin after the weight loss. Perhaps you need a breast lift?

Answer: You may need a breast lift I agree with Dr. Yuan that you need to have a frank and open discussion with your doctor. If the wrong implants were placed, then correction is indicated.

Answer: Talk frankly with your surgeon I feel that most of what is really crucial in plastic surgery happens before you go into the operating room. And the most important thing is communication. If you and your surgeon agreed on a specific procedure with specific implants then someone has some explaining to do. However, often procedures are not worked out in fine detail and much is left to interpretation or to judgment. Ask your surgeon why the implants you thought was going to be used, or that you agreed was going to be used, was not. Some times it is a matter of semantics and labeling since different implant companies use differrent terminology and a doctor can refer to a "moderate" implant that is really a low-profile implant or refer to a "higher" profile implants that is only a mid-profile or moderate plus type implant. In the end, what is used may or may not be important, only whether or not you are satisfied with your result no matter what has been used.
