I just got Saline breast implants 16 days ago. I am 24 years old, 5'1 in height and weighs 100 lbs. Before, I was about a 34A but could fit into a 32B bra. I had 275CC implants put in. I am really regretting not going bigger. I really think I should have went to get 325CC implants. If I decide to go bigger by 50CC, how much bigger would it be, and how long would I have to wait to have it done? Also, how much would it cost? Can I still use the saline implants I currently have?
Answer: You should wait for them to heal before making any changes Maggie, Your problem is very common - deciding that you want larger implants. However, please be patient as you should allow your body to recover from the surgery you just had. Every time you have additional surgeries, you are undergoing a small, but real risk. So, it is best to wait and not make any rash decisions. However, if you do decide to change your implant size, I would suggest going with more than a 50 cc change - this small amount will not be appreciable. Additionally, you will need different implants than the ones you currently have since there is a recommended fill volume specific for each implant. So, the cost will likely be similar to your initial surgery. Also, you may want to consider silicone implants if you have your implants changed out. I hope you find this helpful.

Answer: Wait until you have healed to assess your results Thank you for your question.I am sorry to hear that you are currently regretting your implant selection, but I cannot stress enough how early it is for you to make any assessment on your implant size. Seeing as how you are only 16 days out from surgery, you have not allowed enough time for your body to heal, your breast pocket and tissue to stretch and accommodate your implant, and for your implants to settle. I recommend that patients wait at least 3-6 months to begin assessing their breast augmentation results for these reasons.With that said, I would recommend following up with your operating surgeon to discuss your concerns. Your surgeon would most likely wait until you are at least 3-6 months out to exchange your implants in the case that your implants have settled and you still wish to go larger. Please be patient and allow your body to heal. You will see that your breasts will continue to evolve as the pocket and tissue stretches to accommodate your new implants and you might find that your 275cc implants are perfect after all. I hope this helps and best of luck!

Answer: Wanting Larger Implants We frequently see patients who express concern about the size of their breast implants following breast augmentation surgery. In some cases this occurs in the immediate postoperative period. Immediately after surgery it’s hard to make judgments about breast size because of swelling and muscle spasm. It may take weeks for the majority of swelling to resolve. In addition, muscle spasm can alter the appearance of the breast and this takes time to resolve as well. For these reasons we generally don’t recommend revising breast implants, for at least six months following surgery. It’s also important to realize that for many patients a 50 cc difference in breast size would be difficult to notice. In reality a 50 cc difference is less than four tablespoons which is spread out in three dimensions over the implant. It’s not unusual for women to want larger breasts following breast augmentation. When this situation arises a 50 cc increase is usually inadequate because it doesn’t result in a noticeable difference. Under these circumstances, patients usually always require a new implant with a larger fill capacity. Unfortunately this will inevitably add to the cost of revisional surgery. Although many surgeons discount revisional surgery, there’s always some expense associated with these maneuvers. If you’re considering revisional breast augmentation for size it’s important to discuss this issue with your plastic surgeon. Your surgeon should be able to make a recommendation. In the short term this will probably include patience and reassurance.

Answer: Breast Augmentation Revision Because you are so early into your recovery phase, you will need to wait longer before you decide on a revision. It will take a few months for your healing to continue, which will give you a better idea of your final result. If after six months you are still really unhappy with your size, you might want to book an appointment with your surgeon. That being said, you will require new breast implants and the same surgical procedure - it will cost in the same range as your initial surgery. Talk to your doctor carefully and thoroughly about what you would want to achieve, as a 50cc might not be a significant enough increase for your goals.
