My Breast Implants Look Small Soon After Surgery

This is a VERY common complaint! Soon after surgery, swelling may push the implants up, so that the bottom portion of your breasts are not filled in with the implant.

If you were very flat chested, with tight tissues, this pressure on the implants can sometimes make them seem smaller and not very projecting. Don't panic, what your are going through is very common. I would wait at least several months. As the implants drop and settle with gravity, and as your tissues relax, you will likely gain projection. 400 cc is a good sized implant.

However, there are some disadvantages to larger implants: Larger implants expedite the effects of gravity (Breasts may become droopy faster). Larger... more

Breast augmentation with Natrelle implants

Yes, in all likelihood they will get smaller due to resolution of perioperative swelling. However, that is a decent sized implant and would typically get someone very close to a D cup. Try and be patient.
