Question

Hello Mel8374-Your plastic surgeon has created nicely contoured, beautiful larger breasts and I hope you are enjoying these characteristics. I would venture that most plastic surgeons would guess that you have 800cc or so implants, but how they big or small they look also has to do with how much tissue you have preop, your weight, your height and chest circumference. I regret mentioning the obvious...that at only two weeks, you still have some swelling and therefore the size might look a bit smaller in a few months. Good luck to you. This size looks good on your frame.

Alexander G. Nein, MD, MS, FACS · Answer

Once implants are implanted they tend to "look" a little smaller than when they are simply placed inside your bra on top of the breasts. The actual total volume is the same, there is just a visual illusion that they are smaller.Your plastic surgeon should be able to give you your implant information which will specify the size of the implants. You should have this information in your records in any event because if something should happen to these implants years down the road, that information would be very useful to any plastic surgeon you go to (if your original surgeon is no longer avialable or you have moved).For the best results seek the consultation of a plastic
surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. They have a website
listing all the certified plastic surgeons. Members of the American Society of
Aesthetic Plastic Surgery will all be board certified in plastic surgery and
have demonstrated an interest and competence in cosmetic plastic surgery as
well.
