Breasts Look Flat After Implant Replacement and Lift

I had old implants from 18 years ago removed and had new ones put in along with a breast lift. My PMD only gave me 150 cc which I think is small. I had my surgery 3 weeks ago and they look like flat fat pancakes. I was wearing a 42DD and he says I will possibly still be a D cup. Why would Dr's. only fill the implant with so little solution? He said I could go back and they can add more but how will that happen? How would they know where to poke me to get to the implant?

There will really be no appreciable difference between a 500 and 600 cc implants.  To see a full cup size difference, there really needs to be a 200 to 250 cc increase in volume between implants.  I hope this is helpful.  Good luck.

Could I Have Made Damaged my Breast Implants by Falling? Yes you could. However, knowing the implant type is important. Salines will likely deflate with damage whereas silcone implants will not and will require MRI evaluation.

You didn't say whether or not the implants are under the muscle, but most are. The pectoral muscle covers the top portion of the implant but not the bottom. Because of the fact that the bottom edge of the muscle is cut with the standard dual-plane technique, with muscle flexion it actually...

Since you are in your third trimester, this makes it very hard to know what is going on with the implants since you undoubtedly have alot more breast tissue now then before your pregnancy.  This may actually just be a consequence of the breasts getting larger and there being more room now...
