Not Much Noticeable Size Difference with BA Revision?

In our Bay Area practice we perform breast augmentation and augmentation revisions frequently. There may be swelling that is masking the actual shape of the breast that may create the illusion of less projection or fullness. The best advice is to talk to your surgeon and give yourself more time for healing.

Clinical Context

After a revision, apparent size differences often come from swelling or fluid that hasn't fully settled, especially if implant position was adjusted along with size. A larger implant can look similar to the old one if it sits lower or more centered, since shape changes can offset volume gains. Comparing the exact implant sizes with your surgeon—rather than judging by eye—and allowing full healing time usually clarifies whether the result matches what was planned.
