Breasts Are Big and Stiff 2 Weeks Post-op - Will They Look Natural?

I had a breast augmentation surgery 2 weeks ago,my implants are silicone 350cc High profile under the muscle. My Bra size before the op was 32B and I was aiming for 36 or 34 C.

Also once the swollen is resolved are they suppose to look smaller or bigger?

6 weeks to get the look after breast augmentation
