I had BA on Wednesday. My breasts were 32A. Right now they look real small and a B bra would be too big. I asked him for a full C cup. I called and the office stated that the computer system states he put me in as a full C. Everyone who has seen me tells me to get my money back. They are extremely small. I've heard when they drop and fluff they will be larger but I wanted to be in a C cup not a B cup. I'm very disappointed. Surgeon did not tell me how many cc's he put in
Answer: Talk to your surgeon When implants are first inserted, they sit high up because your tissues are tight and gravity hasn't taken effect. Over time, natural tissue expansion occurs to allow the implants to fall into place. By this time, your breasts will have taken on a more natural contour, where the lower breasts become softer and rounder. Please wait at least four months for this to happen.This process tends to occur sooner in one breast than the other, so don't be alarmed if you find that your left drops before the right or vice versa.

Answer: Breast implant size should be determined by the patient before the operation. Obviously, your implants are not going to get bigger. You'll need another operation to fix that problem. You should have complete knowledge of the operative plan before signing the consent.

Answer: Too small? Please talk to your surgeon. You should definitely be able to know the size of your implants if you ask. If you are really unhappy with your size, I think it is reasonable to ask for a revision to a larger size.

Answer: Implants look way smaller than I wanted. Surgeon did not tell me how many cc's he put in. I'm sorry to hear about the concerns you have after breast augmentation surgery. You should be aware that it is not unusual for patients to feel that they are “too small” or “too big”, early on after breast augmentation surgery. Most patients who feel this way ultimately are pleased with the results of surgery in the longer term. Many patients who feel that they are too small immediately after surgery find, as the breast implants “drop and fluff”, that the breasts actually appear larger to them. I routinely ask my patients to wait at least 3-6 months before evaluating the end results of the breast augmentation surgery. This waiting time allows patients to (uaually) physically and psychologically adapt to the new body image. Obviously, it is best for patients not to be making important decisions ( for example about the results of surgery and/or the need for additional surgery) while they are experiencing the common post operative emotional “ups and downs”. In the longer term, if you still remained displeased with the breast size, communicate your concerns with your plastic surgeon in a calm and constructive fashion. Together, you will be able to determine whether increasing breast size can be safely done. Remember not to communicate your goals in terms of achieving a specific cup size, which can be a source of miscommunication. Best wishes.

Answer: Informed Consent The size is an important consideration and the implant size is typically part of the informed consent process. Express your concerns to your surgeon and see how he or she can address.
