I'm 5'5" and 115 lbs. I had rather perky breast to begin with (34 A) but still got high profile. I received 415cc in both sides ,and the brand was round textured Sientra. I wanted a natural sloped look but now I'm wonder whether I went too large for my frame. Did I? Will my breast get smaller or larger? If so, by how much. (7 day post op)
Answer: Do breasts look the same after dropping? Two things happen and seem paradoxical. As as the swelling goes down there will be some shrinkage but at the same time as the muscle relaxes your breast projection grows. In general the breast shape and size proportionality improves..Breast implants initially after surgery when placed in a submuscular position often give superior fullness that corrects itself with time, the "fluff and drop" phenomena. In reality the pectoralis major muscle takes a while to adjust its size to accommodate the implant as well as occasional muscle spasm which keeps the implant projection higher than its final resting shape. Additional variables include:laxity of skin, size difference during prior pregnancies, position of implant,size of muscle, and size of implant.As the muscle relaxes the projection of the implant often increases and the breast shape improves. Massage and use of a superior placed elastic strap can often make this process go faster.

Answer: Breast size with settling Thank you for your question. During the post-operative period the breast are swollen, and the breast implants appear in a much higher position. Over time they descend and fills out the lower half of the breast. It may take several months for this to happen and can be encouraged with breast massage and compression. After the swelling goes down the breasts will appear smaller. However, as the implants settle, it may appear that the breast enlarges as the lower aspect of the breast fills out (at the expense of the upper portion of the breast).

Answer: Breast implant size You understand that you still have much swelling at this seven day mark. The volume of the implant itself does not change, but the swelling will decrease and the implant will likely fall into a nice, natural, teardrop shape. This can take anywhere from six weeks to six months. You can probably breast easy that you will have a nice result which looks more natural as time goes on.

Answer: 1 week post op too early to judge size after augmentation You are too early post op to judge results, but likely your consultation would have included the fact that high profile implants usually give less of a natural slope as compared to moderate or low profile implants. The Sientra textured implants are intended to stay in place rather than settle so don't expect them to drop much. However, after your swelling goes down you may find that you like the size and shape so give it time.
