I had a BA and stated I wanted a natural look as I’m 40 y/o. I just wanted to fill in lost volume from breastfeeding. At the consult the Dr stated a 300cc HP implant would be his recommendation. I am an out of town patient so emailed some final thoughts/wish pics. I specifically stated 300-400cc range. I started with a deflated 34C with the goal of being a full 34C/small D. I woke up with 445 UHP implants. Is it reasonable for me to ask him to revise to a smaller implant at HIS cost?

Answer: Surgeon put in implants bigger than I approved - is it reasonable for me to ask him to revise it? I would discuss the issue face to face with your surgeon. Maybe he had a good reason to use the implant which he used and could explain that to you better. Going smaller is easier than going bigger, so it should not be too much of a problem.

Answer: Wrong breast implant size Hello, thank you for your question. Documentation is very important, silicone comes pre filled but with saline implants the size can sometimes vary between 10cc-60cc depending on the discussed plan. We always quadruple check before any surgery once during consult during communications pre op and then on day of surgery have the patient repeat the size they want preoperatively then again with the OR nurse and then again in the time out so that everyone is in agreement. Talk to your plastic surgeon, everything should be documented and see what your options are if you are unhappy with the increased size.
