I feel like my breasts look like two small tennis balls glued to my chest. Due to capsular contracture I I’ll be exchanging to silicone. My dr wants to go up to 450 cc to make me more “full” and I’m scared this will look like a pornstar on my small frame. I trust my surgeon but does anyone have experience with this issue?

Answer: Breast augmentation Hello and thank you for your question. The best treatment for capsular contracture is total capsulectomy and implant exchange. In regards to increasing your size from 325cc to 450cc, this will depend on your individual breast anatomy. This decision should be based on a detailed discussion with equal input from both you and your surgeon. Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results. Best wishes and good luck. Richard G.

Answer: Sizing concern. Does anyone have experience with this issue? Hopefully, you have tried on sizers or viewed images of how your breasts will look when the size is increased by 125cc's. The average implant placed in the US is 350cc. I would recommend that you go with the size that boosts your self-esteem, and fits your anatomy. Choosing an implant based on an aesthetic goal that exceeds your anatomic capacity may lead to complications and possibly revision. Based upon his/her credentials, trust your surgeon to make the best decision in the OR.
