Why Would Implants After Skin Sparing Mastectomy Be Smaller Than The Surgeon Said They'd Be?
Sabre7788Sep 4, 2011
I had a skin sparing mastectomy due to the BRCA 2 gene. I am about 5'1" tall and about 125lbs. My expanders were filled to 500cc and they looked huge. I had silicone implants put in at 450/500 both sides two days ago and they look so small. My surgeon said they would give me a full C cup, but they barely look an average B cup. I'm so disappointed. I was a C cup prior to this and I wanted to stay that way. Will they fill out to a C cup after they settle?
