Breast Results One Day Post-Op is Too Early To Make Any Conclusions..

Thank you for posting this question. For right now, you should concentrate on following all your post-operative instructions to avoid any type of complications and/or delay in your recovery. I tell all my patients that sometimes it takes approximately 6 months to really get a feel of the volume of your breasts after surgery. Of course there will be immediate post-operative surgical swelling, but the swelling re-distributes and will fill in more in the cleavage area versus... more

Give it time

Hello. I am fairly confident that you will not think that 550cc high profile implants are too small. It is normal to be unsure about your size post op but with time the implants will start to settle and you will get use to them. For now just concentrate on following any post op instructions to make sure you stay healthy and complication free. Jaime Perez, MD Breast Augmentation Specialist Plastic Surgery Center of Tampa

Size after breast augmentation

Thanks for your picture and question. Congratulations on your procedure! You are too soon after surgery to make much about judgement on size. Your breasts will change significantly over the next three months. I will say that 550 cc implants on your frame are quite large.

Breast Augmentation Size

Unfortunately, immediately after surgery you are swollen and probably the biggest you are going to be. As the swelling goes down, you will be a bit smaller. The shape will change a lot though. It takes a full month for the implant to settle down into the pocket and 3 months for all the swelling to go down. The most common complaint after breast augmentation is the regret that the implants are not big enough. If you do want to get a larger implant, I recommend... more

Need to wait and see....

You need to wait and see. My experience is that a 550cc implant will not get you from an A to a D. You probably needed at least a 650cc or larger implant but you may not have been able to fit this size in your breasts.

Breast Aug Size Depends On Where You Start

The final size of your breasts depends on where you start. If you were barely an A cup, then 550 cc implants may not get you to a D Cup. There are limitations in how large of an implant that can be placed at your primary augmentation. You should discuss this matter further with your surgeon. All the best in your recovery.

Very Early Breast Augmentation Results

At just one day after surgery, you should avoid thinking about your breast size and just focus on recovery. You are going to need at least 3 months of adjustment to the new look before you judge the results. How you may feel about your new breasts today could well change in 3 months.

550 cc #breastimplants canNOT be seriously too small!

Hello and thank you for your question. Breast implants 550cc are quite large implants and will likely be more than enough. From the pictures you sent us, they do not look small at all. Keep in mind that a natural look is what most people are looking for. When breasts are too big, they will look 'fake' or augmented and may look disproportionate with your body. Most of my patients gets between 250 cc and 450 cc but there might be different 'norms' here in Toronto,... more

It is obviously not possible to tell much from the posted photo. The implants appear rather enormous, and I would be surprised if you will be able to fit into a 32 D bra. Have some patience. All the best.
