How soon to switch to bigger implants? - JustBreastImplants.com Forums - Breast Augmentation, Breast Implants, and Plastic Surgeons

Hello Dr. Pousti,

I'm wondering what is the standard amount of time that you make a patient wait to get a redo for only the purpose of going larger?

I had my BA back at the end of September, and I am not happy with the size at all. I want to go larger (but not that much, only about 100 ccs) and am just wondering how long I'll have to wait, and why.

Thank you!

Normally, I ask patients to wait 6 months after their first surgery to allow for the healing process before doing revisionary surgery. I have many pictures of patients who have removed their implants and replaced them with larger implants on my website. www.PoustiPlasticSurgery.com

I recieved 325 ccs, textured saline under muscle in July 2007. I am also ready to go 100 ccs bigger. I am interested in your results. Did you go through with the second surgery?

Thanks!
