I was a 36c and agreed with doctor that 600cc was enough for me. After the surgery I couldn't breath ended up in the hospital and they told me I had a broken rib. Is it normal for surgeon's to exceed the amount of cc's that you requested?

Answer: 600 cc Implant and Broken Rib
600 cc implant is a very large implant, and I cannot imagine going much bigger than that. No matter what volume was used, the volume alone would not have caused a rib fracture. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

Answer: Broken rib after Breast Surgery
Hello, with all due respect, I have Never heard about such a bizarre complication due to a regular Breast Augmentation surgery, no matter the size of the implant. Nevertheless the first tissues expected to be afected by high volume pressure will be the ones arround the aproach incision. ... Did you ask you PS. how they diagnosed it, by CT, ? Hope you get well soon
