Mentor breast implants warranty - going bigger. (photo)

Yes, it is possible to #increase your implant size with a #revision. However, the #pocket will need adjustment and a lift may be necessary; to better #support the new implant. Additionally, a mesh for further support may be helpful depending on the #implant size and skin #elasticity.

#Costs of a #BreastLift will depend on several factors: the geographic location, the skill and experience of the surgeon, and operating room and anesthesia fees. Approximate costs can be found here on the Real Self website, Surgery.org, or PlasticSurgery.org. Also remember that the addition of implants to the breast lift surgery will increase the cost.

Your procedures should always be performed by a #PlasticSurgeon who is board-certified and has a great deal of experience specializing in cosmetic #surgery. You will then greatly improve your chances of getting the result you desire, and, without the need for further revision surgeries. It is suggested that you look at before and after photos of the surgeons actual patients, and read patient reviews. Gathering all of this information will help you make a well-informed decision.

Mentor warranty is valid for patients that experience a deflation of an implant.  Patient choice to remove and replace for size change would not be an expense that Mentor would cover with its warranty. 

Sorry, but Mentor (or Allergan or Sientra) warranties cover deflation for saline implants, or defect in silicone implants, but not elective size change, regardless of whose "fault" the incorrect size choice was. Cost for revision surgery, especially for size change--the most common reason for re-operation in most plastic surgeons' practices--SHOULD have been discussed BEFORE your surgery. But, alas, it appears as if yet again this either went undisclosed or perhaps unremembered. In every surgeon's office I know, you would be responsible for operating room, anesthesia, and new implant costs, but reduced or no surgeon's fee. Also, a size increase will require a minimum of 60-100cc larger implants for a small visible change; to go up a full cup size will require 200-250cc more per side, if your anatomy allows.Your photo is insufficient to make this determination, but you may want to avoid over-correcting and going too large. Best wishes! Dr. Tholen

unfortunately changing to a bigger size you will be required to pay for the new implants. You should wait 4-6 months for everything to settle after your initial surgery until you make a final decision. 

Your post operative picture looks like you have a fantastic result. Sorry you are unhappy with your size.  Going significantly larger at your first augmentation could well have resulted in a less aesthetic outcome. Unfortunately, the warranty does not cover exchange of implant without implant defect.  As your photograph is listed as "3 weeks Post Op," I would recommend delaying any upsizing for at least several months until you have had some time to experience the current implant size.
