Too small- how soon can you have a re-op?

by jayneymarie 10th January 2012, 9:44 pm

Had my BA on 16 th Dec. 265 high profile overs. Swelling has now gone down and boobs feeling soft but way to small. Fitting in a 32c sports bra! Was a 32b before op. Raised my concerns over implant size pre- op but surgeon said that I would be at least a d. Had 11 cm bwd and 30 inch under ribs. Could I have gone bigger do you think? and how soon could I have a re-op? Feel I have spent 4k for one cup size and still need a padded bra!
Thanks girls

The HP should have given you a fuller look, but I've noticed that you always "look" smaller than you measure (no one believes I'm a DD/DDD, but that's what I measure!)
That being said, 265 isn't a very large implant, I think it's roughly 150/175cc per cup size, so that probably made you a full C/Small D. It all depends on what you told your PS - did you bring in pictures of what you wanted to look like?
This could also be a case of booby greed LOL (no offense, a lot of us have it - I did!!) I'd go with Flower's suggestion and wait a bit, you're still early days. After you drop and fluff, you may fill out a D, and then you're set!
Go to your PS and voice your concerns though, he may have some advice for you - maybe you were very tiny and he didn't want to put too large an implant in!

Good luck hunni!! Too small- how soon can you have a re-op? 571992

I suffered a small hematoma and had large swelling, now thts gone and iv dropped on one side and other is catching up i feel im to small and expected bigger!!! I was 32b went to a 32e shrunk to a 32dd and now im pushin a 32d which for £4000 i feel iv not got wat i wanted put of surgery! Im kinda gutted and cant wait to c my nurse on the 31st jan, iv heard 6 months is a okay time to do a reop is this true, i kno how ur feeling jayneymarie, xx

They will re op after 6 months although they won't re op for free because of size. You may find after 6 months that you have dropped and fluffed and you are happier with you size

Thanks Girls.
I am seeing the surgeon on Monday so will raise my concerns!
Just feel at the moment that I will still need padding to get the look I want. Also I have a large gap (i can fit 4 fingers between them). Maybe a wider implant will help with this. I think ps did not want to go over BWD which was 11cm so this limited my size somewhat. I did say pre-op I did not think they would be big enough. Wish now I had pushed more on this.
I was looking at going up to around 335-345cc but width of implants is 11.7-12cm so over my BWD. Not sure how far over BWD you can go. Will see what he says on Monday!

You can go 1cm over your bwd if your skin can take it. I had a large gap until 6 months post op when they were soft and bouncy and nearly dropped

...hey babe. My PS needs to go over my base width diameter (12.5cm / 29.5" ribcage) to narrow my wide gap too... so I will prob get around 14cm implants. He has recommended 500cc Mod Plus or I can go HP 600cc Allergan or similar width ones in other profiles if I want. I am getting full unders so about 50cc is lost visually apparently. But if it's physically possible to give me that then you can surely get larger than 265cc HP overs! A mod plus would be wider if you want to narrow the gap and keep a lower cc amount. But if you like the HP 'profile' you would need wider ones (and higher cc) to accommodate the gap I would have thought?! :flowers: Hug

i'm very happy with my boobs, but still have boob greed!! Now wondering if i should have gone bigger too.... but am just soooooo grateful they look a million times better than before!!

Well been for my follow up and raised my concerns with the Surgeon. He will not go over BWD, even though I have a 4 finger gap.
As my BWD was 11cm, 265CC was all I could have. Anyone gone over BWD or know any surgeons who are happy to go over BWD?? I had Allergan Inspira but wondering if any other implants would give me more volume.
Thanks

What profile implants did you have hun?

by jayneymarie 16th January 2012, 5:58 pm

I had the high profile. The 265cc are 11cm and 4.6 projection. Just thought a 12cm implant may help to close the gap and would be bigger cc's. Happy with the projection but will need one hell of a bra to get a cleavage!!
My surgeon would not go over BWD at all, so am looking at getting a second opinion as not happy to leave them as they are! I know I will need to wait 6 months but would like to know if it is possible and stop me thinking about it!

It really is down to your skin and breast tissue whether they can go over the bwd. It may just take a bit of time for them to come closer together.
