I am 51 yrs old had surgery three days ago went from a 500 cc under muscle mod profile saline implants to 650 cc silicone high profile , round under the muscle implants. They look the same size I see no difference what went wrong ? I wanted larger, fuller up top and round.
Answer: Fuller, round breasts Just from looking at the photos, it seems you need a mastopexy(lift) to achieve your goals. Just placing larger implants is not going to give you the upper pole fullness, as the implants will just weight down the breastTalk to your PS about a lift. Good luck

Answer: Benefits of a Lift to Better Support Larger Implants The objective of a Breast Lift (#Mastopexy) is to improve the shape and position of the breast without reducing their size. It is used especially for breasts which sag or droop (#ptosis) as a result of aging, weight loss, pregnancy, or breastfeeding. However, many women report more satisfaction if an implant is used at the time of #mastopexy. The implants further shape their breasts, restoring superior fullness or volume which may be decreased over time.In regards to implants alone, this is usually said to be mistake by patients reflecting back at the decision. Most breasts will look larger and more droopy with solely implants. They will sag more and sooner, due to the sudden and excess weight. At times it's possible for a “Snoopy” breast or double bubble to develop as a result. A Breast Lift can also be done while having existing Breast Implants and can be used to correct #asymmetry. It is imperative you select a plastic surgeon who is #board-certified and has a great deal of experience with breast #augmentation and the incision type, #implant placement, and implant type. Plastic surgeons who have specialized in breast surgery and cosmetic surgery are suitable to perform your breast augmentation. Aside from checking board-certification, it is suggested that you look at before and after photos of the surgeons actual patients, and read patient reviews. Gathering all of this information will help you make a well-informed decision.

Answer: Went from 500 cc saline to 650 cc silicone, why are they not any larger? They look exactly the same. Going from a 500 mL implant to a 650 mL implant will increase your breast size by about 33%. It's only three days following your last surgery, and you also have some swelling from the surgery, so they are definitely larger. But the increase in size appears to be in the lower part of your breasts.

Answer: NO noticeable difference after upsizing breast implants Unfortunately, (despite going much larger) you won't enjoy upper pole fullness from an implant due to the nature of your skin. Your skin is sagging and lacking structural strength to hold up the weight of the implant. You will need a breast lift to reposition the breast mound higher. Another issue is that your implants are not under the muscle, they are partially under the muscle. Muscle coverage is only on the top 1/4 of the implant, so again, there is nothing holding the implant in place. Talk to your surgeon specifically about these issues to find a good solution to your problem. I hope this helps. Best wishes and kind regards,

Answer: Upsizing Good morning,Basically the larger you are, the more it takes to make a difference, so I would not expect going from 500cc to 650cc would make that much of a difference. Also, you switched from saline to silicone. That doesn't make much sense- you wanted more upper pole fullness and roundness, but you switched from saline which provides more of that look to silicone, which always sits a little lower in the pocket with less upper pole "bump". My recommendation would be more along the lines of 800cc overfilled saline implants.

Answer: I wanted larger, fuller up top and round. I am sorry to hear about your concerns after breast augmentation surgery. You ask a very good question regarding whether or not your desired outcome is possible with revisionary surgery. Generally speaking, patients seeking a "round fake look" may or may not be able to achieve their desired outcome. Much depends on the patient starting point.
