Hello Doctors, first off, I am a 22 year old female, 5'2, 115 pds. I had breast augmentation last year in June. I chose to go with 550cc silicone gel implants. I love my operation although I do feel they are a bit too big for my body type and size. I would have liked to be a small or medium C, and I was told 550 cc would give me a medium to a full C. I was officially measured as a triple DDD. Should I have them redone? Cost prices? Any input or advice, will be very much appreciated! Thanks
Answer: Large breast implants (photo) What you should do depends on your level of dissatisfaction. Your result looks nice, symmetric, no contracture, rippling, malposition, or other issues. Some women NEED to have more surgery because of these or other complications. Many women desire the shape and proportion you now have, but cannot achieve it because of their body type, skin quality, or for another reason. You're young, breasts will change, you'll need them re-done at some future time anyway. Re-doing them carries all the same risks as the original procedure, and is costly. My advice: Enjoy your DDD's as long as you can.

Answer: Avoid over implantation 550 cc implants weigh over 1 lb each, which stretches your skin and the implant descends.Unfortunately, you have not told us your bra size just your cup size.If you are 32 or 34 each 100 cc’s of implant corresponds to 1 cup size change.If you are 36 or 38 each 200 cc’s of implant corresponds to 1 cup size change.From this, you can compute the volume required to achieve your desired goal.I recommend a circumareola approach to excise the excess skin you have from being stretched out from over implantation.Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Answer: Reducing your implant size Your breasts are large and if you feel that they are too big for you, then you can certainly have them exchanged to a smaller implant. There will certainly be costs associated with this and only your original surgeon can be expected to give any price discount for this. You will pay full price from any other surgeon. If you have these exchanged, you can also talk to the surgeon about revising your areolar scars which are unfortunately malpositioned outside of your areolas and is very visible.

Answer: Too large of an implant Thanks for your question and photo. I would recommend you follow up with your surgeon and express your concerns. Given that he is familiar with your case and the decision making process that was used, he would be the best person to address this. In our practice, we use the implants and have the patients try them to make the guess work minimal. Best wishes, Dr Sajjadian

Answer: Silicone implants Yeah, I agree they are too large. You should downsize considerably about 375 in my opinion. It should be a simple switch of implants with nothing else required.
