Silicone Implants After a Bilateral Mastectomy? (photo)

TMHfan2012
My plastic surgeon expanded my tissue expanders to 750 ccs, then replaced them with 700ccs cohesive gel silicone implants. Before the exchange surgery, I was wearing a 36 D sport bra. Although I can still wear the same size bra, they do not appear to be what I thought.They certainly appear much larger in a photo.....little projection, but full.Is this natural?
