Will my Breast Look Larger After Everything Has Settled?

I had implant revision and lift 2 days ago. I had 465 cc HP saline and very saggy breasts. I wore a 32 DDD bra before. They were replaced with 250 cc silicon implants and breast lift. I was told I would be a large c or small D. Right now with all the swelling. They look extremely small!! They look so flat and they look like a full B . I'm so upset . Is there any chance they would settle and get a little bigger?

Dissatisfied with Results of Breast Augmentation/Lifting Surgery?

Sometimes, as breast implants “settle”, the breast appearance does seem larger (some patients referred to this phenomena as “drop and fluff”). I would suggest continued follow-up with your plastic surgeon and continued patience given that you're only a few days out of your operation. It will take several months before... more
