I recently went to Dr M for breast augmentation with 355cc under the muscle silicon " Sientra" breast implants. I chose to drive from the SF to Folsom to be his patient because Dr.M is known to be the best! (my husband is a physician and his own patients have always had glowing reports, in addition I have a friend who achieved excellent results ). I wanted more than a mere surgeon- what I wanted was an artist!
I am 8 days post op and despite significant swelling, much to my dismay, I have noticed that the difference in my bra size and breast volume is unsubstantial. My goal was to increase my my bust 1.5-2 cup sizes to reach a "full D or small DD" . I am aware that breast implants don't precisely translate to to cup size, but I still fit my old bras!
While it's possible that there may have been a miscommunication for which I am partially accountable for, i am hopeful that Dr.M will work with me we so that we can arrive to a mutually acceptable arrangement so that it is possible for me to achieve my initial goal. I understand that it takes 3-6 months for the breasts to reach their final appearance. In my case the rumored eventual "drop and fluff" will not be sufficient. I want a revision. Immediately.
From an aesthetic perspective the breasts look great. I want to emphasize here that my issue is related to the actual size of the implant - not the quality of the work. I am very happy with the office staff.

Do you still have your tape on? Because I have to agree, when I had my tape on I was kicking myself for not going bigger and leaning to the conservative end of the sizer options he had me try on. However, after I got my tape off, (now almost 2 weeks post op) I'm so thankful I didn't go any bigger. They're not HUGE but def on the larger size, while they still fit my body. Trust me, if you wear your strap like he has most of his patients, all the fullness in the upper pole will drop into the lower pole and you will hopefully achieve the size you are looking for.
I know I'm 400cc but I'm also 5'10 and 160 so they were a good choice. Idk how tall you are, but I think 335 is a good sized implant. Just give them time...

I tried on my old bras and they all fit at first too. Now I can't even fit into my mom's 34c. A few weeks make a huge difference.

Hi ! I'm about 8 weeks out right now . I wish I could go back to the days were my only complaint was the size . My breasts are now really far apart on my chest and it's likely I have developed capsular contracture in each breast . They are tight and always hurt. I'm seeing dr m tomorrow , hoping it will go ok

I just had my 8 week post op appointment with Dr M. And it went well. He was really nice and took time to address all my questions. I still have some pain and concern with scar tissue but overall he thinks they look good and are healing well. Right is still higher than left and I feel like the implants are too far apart on my chest ... However , after seeing the before and after photos I'm feeling much better about the surgery ???? when I saw my before photos I was shocked! Honestly I did not remember how bad they were before! Dr M said that at my 6 month appointment , if I still am not totally satisfied , he will "take care of me". It feels so good to know he is on my side and I'm really happy with my decision to go with him .

I'm really happy he took the time to sit with you and listen to your concerns. I really thought his bedside manner was a little lacking and he had a habit of being a little short. But I read on someone else's review, that it's common for amazing doctors or engineers or artists to have sub par people skills but be amazing at what they do. Like we pick them for their artistry at their craft, not for their shmoozing abilities and charisma. I think you look completely amazing and wonderfully proportional. I hope you end up with what you wanted in the end
Congratulations! Post op swelling is normal so try not to judge your results too early! The infamous dropping and fluffing could get you a slightly different shape in the end. Feel free to share any pictures you're comfortable posting. You might also enjoy the company of other October 2015 breast augmentation members. Looking forward to your updates!
