Asked By:Idk615

I am one week post op and went to my post op appt with my Dr today. I opted to have a breast augmentation 375cc smooth round silicone subpectorial done. I went to my appt today and found out that my Dr used textured implants instead of the smooth round ones we discussed. They were also a different brand. I would've never agreed to textured because they can feel firmer, move less, and see edges. IfiI wanted that I would've opted for saline. What can I do and how and why did this happen?
