My doctor and I picked out 400cc silicone breast implants. After the surgery, he told me he could only fit 350cc. Thoughts?

Asked By:cspatient in Valley Stream, NY

I am 5'5'' 142lbs, and physically active. I was a 34B before surgery. The implants my surgeon and I picked out were 400cc silicone, sub muscular. After the surgery, my doctor told me that he could only fit 350cc. Is that normal? Before the surgery, it was not discussed that the 400cc implants may not fit. I feel like the implants are so small and I could barely tell a difference. Many petite women have large implants, and I can't believe that 400cc implants couldn't fit me. Thoughts?
