Got Breast Implants Today But Ended Up With a Broken Rib Also?

Hayle760
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?
