Why would my surgeon give me smaller implants than we had agreed upon?

Asked By:sramm in Queensland, AU

I'm 5'3" 58kgs small frame. During my consult with my surgeon I was hoping for 330-350 cc silicon shaped implant, on top of the muscle. The 350 was too wide for me and we agreed the 330 was better. My surgery was yesterday and after the op I asked the nurse what size I'd been given, to be told 270cc. Why would my surgeon not give me the size discussed? I am so disappointed that I quite possibly may not happy at all with the result. Where do I stand with this situation please.
