Hello, I am 5"7, 56kg, 34A. My breast width 12cm. I had a BA procedure sub-glandular, I was hoping for 295CC and my surgeon chose 250CC, they look good, but much smaller than I expected. I am considering exchnage to increase diameter and projection. Can I go for 295CC or 325CC with my stats and still look natural and even? Hoping for your honest opinion. Thank you for reading. Sorry for posting only 4 weeks PO, apparently exchnage needs to happen soon before scar tissue forms.
Answer: Breast implant size increase Hi, A slightly larger implant would "fit" and preferentially take up the area on the outside of the breast as it slightly "underfilled" especially on the right of the photo and that causes the nipple to look as if it is too far to the outside when this area in not round as round as it is towards the cleavage. It is best when centered over the implant but is not always possible. Your left nipple is better centered currently, so if you go wider the left nipple might appear to be too far towards the cleavage, although not a huge concern as this is unavoidable in you. Changes will still take place if you wait for them to "settle". I prefer to wait 6 months at least as many patients change their minds about size over time and it can save you from having another surgery. Good luck.

Answer: Increasing volume You are still early in your recovery. I encourage you to wait until you are about 6 months post op before judging your results. Your implants will appear softer and more natural as swelling resolves. If you are still wanting more volume you can consider the implants that you mentioned at that time.

Answer: Pectus excavatum Thanks for your question! Based on your front-facing photos, you appear to have pectus excavatum which I am sure your surgeon explained to you. Unlike some patients, you will have surgical limitations because your breast implants will always want to fall inwards and create that tight cleavage. You could perhaps go a little bit bigger, but I wouldn't advise going far beyond that. Good luck!

Answer: Implants Actually, it is best to exchange once your swelling has subsided and the tissues have healed, like 6 months. Your size looks good on you now. Yes, you can go larger, but will have less space between your breasts than you currently have and this will look less "natural". I would keep what you have. Going up just 30 cc's is usually not worth the extra costs and healing time.
