Re Do my Augmentation? They Are Too Big and Unnatural Looking?

I wanted a natural looking moderate plus 330-350 to get me from a small b to a full c. I am only 5ft 100 lbs. my dr. said I was to petite for a moderate plus profile and I should go bigger because all women wish they would have gone bigger. It's been 3 weeks since my surgery of 400cc high profile saline and I HATE them. They are so big and unnatural looking. Will they get smaller as they drop? Will they get softer? Can I redo the surgery and is moderate plus not appropiate for my size

Unnatural Breast Appearance

It is quite disconcerting for the patient when their breast appear different after surgery then their expectations. In your particular case, based on the facts you supplied, it is unlikely that they will get significantly smaller. Picking the right implant is paramount. I’ve posted this information before, but it is quite important for the patients to be educated on this, so I will post it again. There are a number of different methods to choose proper implant size,... more

Implants too big after surgery

At three weeks I would expect that you still have a lot of swelling which will make your breasts seem larger. This swelling will go down over the next few months. I tell my patients that if they feel like they are too big right after surgery, they are more likely to be happy with the final result than if they are happy with their size right after surgery because they will get smaller when the swelling goes away. However, 400 cc does seem big for someone your size so you may want to change to... more

Breast are usually swollen after implants

It very common for breasts to appear too large and unnatural in the first few weeks after surgery. For now you should massage them a couple times a day and be patient. It will take some time for the implants to settle. If you ultimately do not like your result, the implants can be changed.

Breast Not Natural Appearing After Breast Augmentation

Patience with the healing process is very important (and also very difficult for any of us) following a breast augmentation procedure. Three weeks post-op is far too early to worry about how the size your breasts 'appear.' With time (6 weeks to 3 months) your breasts size and shape will significantly change. They will come down notably and have a much 'softer' appearance. If after 3 months you still feel that your breasts are too large, then you should share this... more

I would give them time...

It's still to soon to say if the size is just right. Give them a few more months to "settle" down. They are probably still swollen a bit and they will drop some. hope this helps, Dr. Michael in Miami

Unhappy After Breast Augmentation

Immediately after breast augmentation, there is a certain amount of tissue memory in the lower breast tissue that gives the visual impression of the implants sitting too high and looking too round and "fake." In most cases, the tissues relax over several weeks to months and the implants "settle" into position and assume their final shape. During this time, the breast softens and looks and feels "more natural. Occasionally, and fortunately rarely, patients are dissatisfied with... more

Breast augmentation

The b reasts are probably still swollen at three weeks, give them time to settle down. If not happy you can always have them redone.

Hello

Its to early to be able to tell if you went to big, you are swollen and it takes months for that to subside. Give it some time. In our practice we say that 225cc equall about one size.

Stick to your instincts for breast augmentation

Size and the look are personal choices in breast augmentation, and there is no need to wish for what other women had. For all, show your surgeon what you feel is your 'look' and stick with it. A high profile saline is rather round and projecting. You can wait several months, though softer and smaller is a guess.

Unnatural Breasts After Augmentation

Although it is very difficult to make any comments about your specific results without an exam or pictures, 3 weeks is very early in the post operative period to begin forming opinions on your outcome. Most results will not be realized until approximately 3 months post-op, and for some up to 6 months post-op. At this point in your period of healing, there is a significant amount of inflammation and the soft tissue envelope is still tight. In time your soft tissues will stretch and relax... more
