Implants Too Small After Breast Reconstruction Surgery

February 11, 2010
Asked By:baileysgirl22 in NPR, FL

I just recently had my expanders exchanged for silicone. I finished my Chemo laster year. My PS put in 450cc. I looked at my chest and they do not look big at all. I was hoping to acheive a full C cup. My PS told me he was going to open my chest medially. I thought we had it settled what size I wanted. Im just very unhappy with how they look right now. There not big at all! Im not sure how swollen my chest is. It doesnt look swollen to me.
