Yes, sometimes it happens. Even in patients who are completely satisfied with the volume, as the years go by, want a bit more. Although it is a small percentage of our patients, sometimes a patient who we operated on years ago approaches us requesting more volume.

- Drooping of the chest. Obviously the greater the volume, the more weight and therefore more drooping. Its common sense.
- More asymmetries, capsular contractures and breaks in the implants. Generally larger implants provoke more asymmetries.
- Chronic pain. Although not regularly discussed, there are patients who have pain on a daily basis from having inadequate implants.
- Discomfort when sleeping, practising sports and even back pain.
