Can a doctor use same pocket when using larger implants?

Asked By:njsweetnlight in Trenton, NJ

I current have 330cc saline implants and exchanging them to 550cc silicon implants. My doctor said he's going to just switch them without adjusting pocket. Is this normal or should the pocket be resized to fit larger implants? I see horror stories of women having their implants bottoming out. Is it because their implants weren't placed correctly?
