Single Mastectomy with immediate Implant reconstruction January 2025 way too big implant

Hello,

Sorry to hear you are having problems.

I had the same problem as you, I felt the implant was too big. I had to have another operation anyway so I requested they changed the implant to a smaller one which is much better.

Have you spoken to your consultant about it? 

Hello, thank you for replying and sharing! Could you please tell me how long after the first surgery you had a second one.? And what your second surgery was for? Also how long was your recovery after the second implant.
My surgeon told me that they had to put a slightly bigger implant (only 30grams more weight compared to the  one they removed) because they didn’t have anything smaller. He also said that he hopes the swelling will go down up to 10%. And he also told me that he hoped to fix and make my other breast slightly bigger!!! My answer was that bigger breast is not my thing! Now I’m just trying to be patient and positive while waiting for the breast to go down. But it’s way too big so.. and it’s been 7 weeks. And it’s hard and uncomfortable and no matter how much I try to ignore it, I can’t. On my next check up I’ll discuss my options.
