Breast size will likely not grow
Hi,
Generally, breasts are slightly swollen initially after breast augmentation. Over the ensuing 2-3 weeks, the swelling improves. With this, the breast size usually gets slightly smaller. The implants also tend to drop and the skin stretches out, giving a more natural shape over the same period of time.
Best of luck.

Final breast size after surgery
Soon after surgery, i have seen many patients whose implants are high due to swelling, giving the impression of a smaller breast size.
It may take up to 6 months for your implant to achieve it's final shape and size.
However, if you gain or lose significant amount of weight, your breast size will change as well.

Implant look after surgery
Actually at the first week or so they usually look a bit bigger because of swelling. They probably will look a bit smaller over time.

Breast Implants do NOT Grow in size
As a rule, every surgery is associated with a variable degree of swelling. As that swelling goes away, the breasts will be SMALLER than they appear immediately after surgery.

You can see size of breast augmentation right away.
Hi.
I am sorry to tell you that your breasts will not grow. It is pretty common to have a misunderstanding about breast implant size. We recommend a really specific protocol to try to prevent this.
