Im having Mentor silicone gel unders, of high profile to stay under? At the consultation when he put the 300 &325's in my bra they felt fine compared to the 275 &300, but heard under the muscle = almost half the size to how they felt in the bra? Now panicking I'm going to be a D, surgeon says I should just be a DD, would prefer bigger than smaller. What do u think? Is it possible for me to change even tho already agreed 325's & 300's? Would he have some bigger ones laying about?! lol
Answer: Implant Selection I would recommend you resize with you plastic surgeon at your preop and have them heavily involved in your final decision. In terms of size, It is much better to accurately discuss implant volume and projection with an in office exam and detailed measurements. In order to make an accurate size recommendation, I would need to assess your chest wall and breast mound measurements/characteristics. I use these measurements to help me during the sizing process to guide you to a safe result for your chest wall and just as important, one that meets your end desires.The next step is to try on this range of implants in the office with your doctor. The key to this success is showing your surgeon the body proportion you desire with a bra sizer and allowing your surgeon to guide you to the right implant. It will be much easier to communicate in implant cc's than cup size when determining the appropriate implant for you during the sizing process. In addition, review of photos and use of rice bags can be very helpful to the patient and surgeon in achieving a safe and happy result. Close intereaction and involvement from your surgeon during this process can help alleviate the anxiety and fears of choosing the right size. I wish you a safe recovery and fantastic result.Dr. Gill

Answer: Choosing the right implant.Can I change my mind now? You absolutely can change your mind now. To get to a D or DD, you will probably need larger implants.It helps to get a visual on what you will look like. Try "New Look Now" for a rendering perspective.
