Will breast pockets stretch much after increasing 117 cc's during breast revision?

February 13, 2014
Asked By:Alisha72

My left implant recently ruptured and I had an open capsulotomy 2 days ago with an implant exchange on both sides from 375 cc saline to 492 silicone gel (he didn't have to do anything to the right breast pocket). While I love the fuller look and better cleavage I'm wondering if I will have any more 'projection' or appear a little larger later? Do the pockets stretch much the second time around and is 117 cc's more enough to cause them to stretch so that I look like I'm protruding out any larger?
