I wanted 425-500cc extra high profile. I told my doctor what I wanted and showed her pictures. She brought me 1 pair of implant to try on which was 325cc high profile silicone. She didn't give me an option or even let me try on bigger implants. Now that surgery is over my nipples are pointing to the floor. I wanted EXTRA high profile because I want my breasts to sit up high on my chest. Also, if I get another surgery will I have to pay the full amount again just for an implant exchange?
Answer: Nipple position You are very early postop and your implants are sitting very high - completely normal at this stage. When your implants settle and fluff more, your nipples will be more "up" relative to your implant position. Please speak to your surgeon if you are concerned.Regards,

Answer: Will your breasts be perky after implants drop? Thanks for your question! Immediately after surgery, the implants are sitting very high and that can make the nipples appear to be sitting lower on the breast mound. It is a possibility, based solely on your photos, that your surgeon couldn't fit a larger implant due to your small stature. I would be sure to articulate your concerns to your surgeon to understand why the smaller implant was chosen. It's incredibly important to get a good result with your first surgery and then implant replacement, in the future, should be much easier. Good luck!

Answer: Implant dropping Dear chris91gee,I understand your concern and it is quite normal to be concerned about the outcome following a breast augmentation surgery. However, you are still in the very early stages of the healing process.

Answer: High Riding Implants Hello,Thank you for your question and photos. It appears that you have very large implants for your frame and they are sitting high and tight as they will for at least a few months. The drop and fluff process will require time for your lower breast poles to slowly expand and when they eventually drop, closer to 6 months, I would expect your nipples to appear higher on the breast. Talk to your plastic surgeon about what to expect during recovery.All the best

Answer: Implant concerns Hello, the size of breast implants that can be inserted is limited by each person's unique anatomy; it might not be safe or feasible to insert large implants into a small-chested person. However, it is not possible to state whether even larger implants could be inserted without a proper assessment. I would suggest discussing your concerns with your surgeon, including their policy on the cost of secondary operations.
