I’m unhappy with my result 3 months post op. I wanted to be a C. I said I’d like around 330cc but my doctor insisted that was too small and he would use his discretion. He went with 450cc. I feel like they’re over the top. I know some people like that look but that wasn’t what I wanted. I was a 32a before surgery and currently in a 32ddd. I have rippling, my cleavage looks square and my breast look REALLY far apart. I know the implants are in the right place, but I think I need smaller implants.
Answer: Time I would give it a little more time, as you are only 3-months out from surgery. The implant selection should be based on a combination of your desired size, soft tissue dynamics, breast base diameter and skin elasticity. I recommend an in-office examination as well as a detailed discussion with a surgeon who you are comfortable with. Finally, make sure your surgeon is a Double-Board Certified Plastic Surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS), a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgery (ASPS), a member of the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), and a fellow of the American College of Surgeons (FACS).Best,Dr. DesaiBeverly Hills Institute for Aesthetic Plastic SurgeryHarvard Educated, Beverly Hills & Miami Beach TrainedDouble Board-Certified, Double Fellowship-Trained Beverly Hills Plastic Surgeon

Answer: BA results Dear ashleyalynnn,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.Your will need to be patient at this moment and follow what your surgeon has instructed you to do post operatively.At the early stage of the healing process, the tissues around the implants are still swollen. Once the swelling subsides and the implants drop to their final position, you will be able to see the final result of your breast augmentation surgery.Daniel Barrett, MD

Answer: Are my implants too big Hi and thank you for the question. I think this is only something you can answer. I find that patients go back and forth during the first 3-6 months about how they feel about their implants. Some days they think they are too large, other days too small, other days just right. I always ask my patients to wait 6-12 months before they make any decisions about changing implants. The good news is that if you do decide to change them it's often quite straight forward. Just depends on how much you are trying to change. Best of luck to you.

Answer: Implants too large If you felt happy with a 330 cc and got 450 cc, that's a significant size discrepancy. Now you know that 450 is larger than you want. So it would make sense to go down at least 100 cc and perhaps a little more. I think 3 months is enough time to know you want smaller implants and consider the exchange. They do look a bit large for your frame and the breast skin envelope looks tight to me. I am sure your surgeon will be happy to work with you to revise.
