Breast implant exchange

I had my saline implant put in 15 years ago. I figured it was time to exchange them. Nothing was wrong it’s my old implants just wanted something a little bigger. I had 240cc before. Dr.Lee stated the day of my surgery that I would have to go with 265cc instead of 285 cc because of my pockets. He stated if I wanted to go bigger it’ll be more cost, could be more complications and would have to be one under general anesthesia. The procedure was actually less painful than I thought. I was super nervous since I knew I was under local anesthesia. Why helped ally as the staff and how professional Dr. Lee is as well. I will keep everyone posted soon.

I really wish I could’ve gone bigger to be happier

I know Dr.Lee stated that it all depended on how big my pockets were and how big my own implants were. Since I was doing an exchange implant and under local anesthesia. He selected two sizes for the surgery day. One was Allergan 265cc and the other was 285 cc silicone high profile implant . But after taking the old implant out he told me he’s going with the 265cc. But I feel like I would be so much happy with a 285cc. The difference between the two sizes is only 20cc which is around one tablespoon. That was my main complaint when I got my first BA that it was too small and throughout my whole 15 years of having them I always had to still purchase push-up bras to achieve the size I wanted. Honestly the new size looks like my old implants which was 240cc saline moderate profile. I feel pretty bummed paying so much but not seeing barely any results. ????

I’ve read you have to increase at least 75ccs to 100ccs to see a difference. I feel your pain I went from 375 saline to 345 silicone and i feel very small compared to what I was plus I had a lift so that took skin away

25ccs you weren’t going to see anything. That’s a shame I feel bad for you. It’s like you wasted your money twice and still unhappy I get it. I hope things turn out well .
