I'm so sorry. Frankly, given my experience with how rushed surgeons are these days, she may very well have gotten you confused w/ someone else. I've learned that the only time they really listen to the patient is when they meet you right before the surgery, which is frustrating because you also have 7 different people doing things to and around you in the pre-op room & aren't exactly in a position to ensure proper marking & understanding when you can't stand up naked to show them and there's no mirror in the room.

I've NEVER seen doctors as rushed and dismissive as recently. As long as this is still post-breast cancer surgery, any revisions you might want are probably covered--so let the swelling go down, and maybe you can exchange the implants for something larger later. Did you do pre-pec implants or post-pec? Did you go straight from mastectomy to implants or do tissue expanders? The latter is usually carefully tailored to the size you want, so i'm wondering if it was the former. If so, I'd check your chart notes--not just ones given you but the records (you can easily get them online now) to see if there was a mistake somewhere. Again, as long as this is still covered under insurance, you could give it a few months to see the final result & then decide--I assume you're getting new nipples tattooed also, so you're probably going to be visiting them for some follow-ups. Best of luck.
