I am 5'4 and 155 lbs. Got 470cc under muscles tran-ax mentor smooth classic profile. I was a size 34 b and wanted to be a full 34 c or a D. But I can still fit my 34b bras. I spent so much money and now I'm thinking of an revision. I talked with my PS and he agreed to do a revision for an additional $6000. Exchange my 470cc implants for 650 cc hp. Will that be too big for me? Or is that a good size. I'm asking for another opinion because my PS should've done that in the first place.
Answer: Breast Augmentation Revision Two months is still too early to judge the final results. The implants are still settling and rounding out at this point. I would advise you to wait longer before undergoing surgery again. We take out first post-op photos at 3 months after surgery and tell our patients it can take up to a full year to get the final results. I wouldn't focus so much on a particular bra size, but instead try to achieve the look that you want and is realistic.

Answer: Larger Implants Aloha and thanks for your question. Bra size is always a difficult thing to predict and impossible to guarantee. Even bra companies do not agree on what a C cup is ; and if you go to Victoria's Secret, there sizes are from a different planet! I would recommend you return to your original surgeon or see an experienced Surgeon Certified by The American Board Of Plastic Surgery[ABPS] and a member of The American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) for a second opinion. Mahalo, Dr D

Answer: "Not happy with my recent breast augmentation. 2 months post op. I can still fit my old bras. Should I get a revision?" Based on the information provided, that's definitely a full c/small d. I wouldn't focus so much on the bra size but more how you like the visible results. If you're still unhappy then a revision might be for you.

Answer: Recommendation Hello. Thank you for your inquiry and congratulations on your surgery! It is important to have an in-person medical assessment regarding this issue as it is difficult to determine virtually. Continue to update your doctor in the matter and follow their post-op protocol. Please ensure to get cleared by your doctor before engaging in specific physical activity before the 3 month healing period has ended as the healing stage is crucial for healthy results. It generally takes around 6 months to a year to see your final results. Your tissues will take time to relax and allow your implants to "Drop and Fluff" settling into place. Should a revision cross your mind, it is best to wait at least 6 months to a year before doing so.
