Surgeon used incorrect implant size: what's the size difference for 50cc?

July 26, 2022
Asked By:Missy1185 in New york

I had a breast augmentation a few years ago. The surgeon doesn't use sizers, we predetermine the size ahead of time. I Chose 400cc. (Which is all in writing which i have.) When i awoke from surgery i asked for the size card and it said 450cc. I mentioned this to him at the follow ups and is faced turned red and he apologized saying this has never happened before. I still feel they're too large. Whats the size difference for 50cc? Is a discounted revision a realistic expectation?
