One implant feels looser than the other. Should I be worried?

healer7May 21, 2015
I had silicone cohesive gel implants done ten years ago sub muscular and one is a bigger implant than the other.

Thanks for your question. I am so sorry you feel this way. The final result of a breast augmentation is normally apparent about 3 months post-op. Give your breasts some more time to heal. If over time you are still unhappy, speak to your PS about your concerns. All the best,Dr. JSB

If only it were so easy, but unfortunately the cc's do not equate with cup size and any given implant can look totally different on two different patients. But for your height and weight I think 450cc would look pretty big. I'd probably be looking in the 350-400cc area. It really takes an exam...
