my doctor did not offer ANY help with sizing, I was told 250cc=1 cup size, so I went with 750 cc = 3cup sizes, should have brought me to a full D/DD, feeling much smaller, 8 days post op. STATS: 5'4 190lbs, big behind, wide chest. Wanted to be well proportioned. Considering a redo in 1 year, how many CC's would you recommend? Who is the best doctor for large implant surgery?

Answer: Who is the best doctor for large implant surgery? Thank you for the question. It is an important one: selection of your plastic surgeon will be the most important decision you make when it comes to achieving an outcome that you will be pleased with. Generally I suggest that patients start with the American Society of Plastic Surgery and/or the Aesthetic Society of Plastic Surgery to obtain a list of well experienced board-certified plastic surgeons. Then, I would suggest you visit a few surgeons whose practices concentrate on aesthetic surgery. ***Ask to see lots of examples of their work and preferably speak/see patients who have had similar procedures done. Ultimately it will be important that you feel comfortable that your plastic surgeon have a significant/demonstrable experience consistently achieving the types of outcomes you will be pleased with. Generally speaking, the best online advice I can give to ladies who are considering revisionary breast augmentation surgery ( regarding breast implant size/profile selection) is: 1. Concentrate on choosing your plastic surgeon carefully. Concentrate on appropriate training, certification, and the ability of the plastic surgeon to achieve the results you are looking for. Ask to see lots of examples of his/her work. 2. Have a full discussion and communication regarding your desired goals with your plastic surgeon. This communication will be critical in determining breast implant size/type/profile will most likely help achieve your goals. In my practice, the use of photographs of “goal” pictures (and breasts that are too big or too small) is very helpful. For example, I have found that the use of know words such or "DDD cup” etc means different things to different people and therefore prove unhelpful. Also, as you know, cup size varies depending on him who makes the bra; therefore, discussing desired cup size may also be inaccurate. Again, the use of computer imaging has been very helpful during the communication process, in our practice. 3. Once you feel you have communicated your goals clearly, allow your plastic surgeon to use his/her years of experience/judgment to choose the breast implant size/profile that will best meet your goals. Again, in my practice, this decision is usually made during surgery, after the use of temporary intraoperative sizers. I hope this helps. Best wishes for an outcome that you will be very pleased with.

Answer: When your surgeon did not help you with sizing it should have been a sign to see someone else. Surgeons should bend over backwards for their patients and to help them achieve the results desired as it is a direct reflection of their work. Due to your generous chest width, larger implants are needed. You should have an obvious benefit from your surgery so let yourself heal and see if what you have is 'good enough' as padded bras can easily increase your size for those special events and you will still have breasts at the end of the evening. Minor changes can be improved with fat grafting.
