BWD question - thank you

Madame Wilde · 09-12-2009, 09:18 PM

Dear Dr. Wallach,

My BWD was originally measured at 14 and 14.5, pre breast augmentation. My PS told me that meant I could have implants 12.0-12.5, maximum. So I went with 12.3. All ok, no problems.

Now I am having a re-do (same PS, he did a great job the first time, I just hate the projection) and he is suggesting (when I say suggesting, I mean, restricting me to) a Mentor, smooth, round 375cc HP, 12.0. What I would LIKE to have is a Mentor Mod+ or an Inspira (allergan) Mod+ 375cc implant. These are 12.8 and 13.0 - and he refuses to let me have either choice.

Should I follow his advice (and he IS a good surgeon) or seek another PS that will give me the implant that I want? Surely if my BWD was 14, I can fit these wider implants?

Many thanks for your time.

I would get a second opinion.
