I recently decided to take my savings and get my implants exchanged for the same size/maybe a touch bigger newer implants as mine were 21 years old. Apparently he removed 450 cc oval and put in 400cc round. I really loved my old implants,I do many photo shoots in swimsuits and sports bras and I am judged on my appearance on the stage as part of my professional career. This took all of my money and now I am left with loose skin and bras/ competition suits that do not fit. Who is responsible?

Answer: Concerns over less-than optimal fit I am sorry to hear about your post-operative results. Your surgeon must have taken consent from you with regards to the implant size and shape decisions. If not, then your surgeon is responsible for the decision and outcome.I believe an honest, and open discussion is important to avoid miscommunication and conflicts. Let them know how you feel, and let them know that you expect your breasts to optimally fill your breasts. If the matter is that your breasts are filled adequately, but your competition suits are not fitting, then there may be a different problem.If you had your surgery recently, then you may have to wait for at least 6 months depending on your surgeon's preference.Hope this helps.

Answer: When you don't get what you thought you were getting it does create an uncomfortable situation. It really comes down to whether there was an implied contract with agreeing to an implant size and not getting it. Your surgeon knows if he/she is culpable and if you can prove there was an agreement of a specific size, its your surgeon's responsibility to fix this. If there was no agreement to size and it was entirely left up to the discretion of your surgeon, then you have to live with your results. So best to sit down with your surgeon, review the written records (recall alone won't cut it here - its what is on paper) and see what can be done... and hopefully this will work out for you.
