My friend got 600cc and I was going to do 535cc but didn’t want as big as her so I did 480cc. I wanted big boobs. I went from a small C, big B to a big C. I looked forward to throwing my bras away and getting new ones. But they still fit..I had DD when breastfeeding and that’s what I wanted but bigger. I’m so depressed. I will never be able to save that kind of money again. I wish I never even bothered. How come 480cc looks big on other people?? I’m 5’10, 123 lbs
Answer: Not everyone is the same when it comes to implants and the look they create... and with your height, you could handle larger volumes compared to someone more petite. It also depends on your anatomy and the implant that was used. Confirm that you did get the proper implant (on the long shot that you may have not) and then review how you determined what size you were going to use. Did you employ external sizers or 3D imaging? Or did you arbitrarily choose an implant size based on what your friend had? There is a lot of planning that goes into implant selection and my patients are very much involved in what they choose since that is what they will get.

Answer: Implants look too small after surgery Thank you for your question.I'm sorry you are disappointed after your surgery. Breast size is a very personal preference and what what person feels is large, another person may feel is too small. This is why accurate preoperative sizing is essential in meeting patient goals. Most surgeons have the patient approve the implant size prior to surgery after giving them some idea of what kind of look they could expect. Comparisons to other people with different heights, weights, and body types are usually unhelpful in terms of what things are going to look like on you.In general, you are tall and thin and getting 480 cc implants on top of a B-C breast is going to put you in the noticeably larger than average breast size for women in the US. Still, if you are not satisfied, I would voice your disappointment to your surgeon and also see if your perception changes over time. Some surgeons will offer a discounted revision for size in some circumstances. Good luck going forward.
