Mastectomy with 650cc silicone breast implants. Not happy with my implants

Question

Not happy with my huge implants after bilateral mastectomy.

Allen Gabriel, MD, FACS · Answer

Thank you for your question and picture.  I am sorry to hear that you are not satisfied with your reconstruction. I recommend discussing your concerns again with your plastic surgeon and communicate your goals and desires.  Best of luck.

Tracy E. McCall, MD · Answer

Talk to your surgeon. I would recommend that you wait for a bit if you are immediately postop. You may want a different profile implant. You may need a little pocket adjustment.

Samir Shureih, MD · Answer

There are several aspects to the breast reconstruction you had that need repair.The implant chosen may be too wide. the position of the implants  and the inframammary line need to be adjusted. The implant pocket need narrowing laterally. To go from 240 cc tissue expansion to 650 c implant does not make sense.need to evaluate the skin pliability. This would require more surgery to correct. would need to evaluate what exactly was done at the first and second surgery and a plan of correction is needed
