mMy pre op chest width is 13. I just had my first silicone (425cc) Mentor round high profile implant 4 days ago. My original size was 34A. I wanted to look bigger and fuller (full C small D). I am 5ft 130 lbs (big bone, wide hip, size 4 pants, small size dress/shirt). After surgery, I felt that I am only full B cup. 2 days post op I saw my surgeon and he said that 425 cc was the max he could put in because of my small frame. if without being swollen now I feel I am still small, I'm thinking that in 3 months after the dropping, I'll still feel smaller?
Answer: Give it time you are too early to be worried. at 5 ft tall I would think that a 425 implant would make you a good solid c. be patient let things stretch out. after 6 months if you are still convinced that you are too small , then start talking about a revision. also what profile implant did you get?

Answer: The max that can be put in... It's not possible to second guess your surgeon (who has examined you and measured you) about the chosen size. Additionally, your early photos demonstrate a nice result (so she/he made a good recommendation). Breast width is only one factor that is considered for a recommendation. Breast thickness, rib cage projection, skin and soft tissue status, and your pain tolerance must also be considered. Since it's still early in the process, I think you should let the operation mature. Young and tight skin takes longer to stretch and it will be several months before you see a glimpse of your final result.Best wishes, Dr. ALDO

Answer: Breast Augmentation - Size Selection Thank you for your question. "Tissue based planning" relies on your chest and breast measurements and is the safest way to ensure good long term results. Your surgeon should determine what size and projection are necessary to give you your desired result based on your body's measurements. The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam. Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic breast surgery. Hope this helps and good luck with your surgery.

Answer: Max implant size Hello, it is not possible to comment whether larger implants could have been inserted based on the information provided. The size of the implants that can be inserted depends on breast dimensions, tissue thickness, skin stretch, implant characteristics, etc. Based on the limited photos it looks like the implants are well-matched to your chest dimensions.
