I am 6 months post op from my BA and I feel my doctor used a smaller size than we agreed on. After trying sizers we agreed to 600–650 ccs. On the day of surgery I was again told we were doing 550 implants overfilled to 600 ccs. Since the day of surgery I’ve felt like my breast looked smaller than they should have according to the size implant we agreed on. The stickers on my implant card say they are 425 cc implants on the stickers. The written part on the front of my card says 600.

Answer: Implant size Go to the hospital, or your doctor, and ask for a copy of the operative report, which should say to what volume they were filled. Also, look on your card, get the reference number of your implant, and maker, and look up on-line. The 425 is probably the minimal fill volume, with a much larger recommended maximum fill volume. It is unfortunate that patients see the implant size on their cards and assume that is the fill volume. The surgeon usually writes in the final fill volume on the card.

Answer: Questions about #breastimplant size #breastaugmentation Thanks for your breast augmentation implant size question. I'd definitely discuss your questions and concerns directly with your operative plastic surgeon. You could also consider requesting a copy of your medical record which will state the implant size and how much the saline implants could have been "overfilled." I hope this is helpful and encourage you to speak with your surgeon about your concerns.
