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: 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. Ultimately, it comes down to factors such as RATIO of native breast and soft tissue VERSUS volume of native breast and soft tissue. For example, if the patient has a lot of made of breast tissue present prior to surgery, it may be more challenging (or impossible) to achieve the rounder/fake look, compared to the patient who starts out with very little breasts/soft tissue initially. In other words, the patient with less tissue coverage will likely see the round "implanted" look ( achievable with higher profile silicone gel implants or overfilled saline, for example).Also (generally speaking), sometimes during these types of revisionary breast operations, adjustment of breast implant capsules (capsulorraphy or 'internal bra") and/or breast lifting may be indicated as well. You may find the attached link, dedicated to many of these concerns, helpful to you as you learn more. Best wishes.

Answer: Style and volume SO, you did receive an implant that was 150cc larger(atleast if you have a implant device card to prove it), then your breasts are bigger. What your surgeon failed to mention to you was is that your Mod + saline implants have a similar projection/platform and your HP silicone implant. So if you wanted a lot more projection beyond that, you would have had to go UHP, going up 150cc probably only gave you 0.5ish cm of extra projection, which with your breasts you won't notice. Sorry you are disappointed.
