Subfascial Implants - What Size Wil I Be?

I had my silicone implants done subfascially 10 days ago. Some blogs say when you do subfascial there is swelling, some say not do much. I'm interested to hear what cup size I will most likely be. I was a B in one breast that got 400ccs and a B+ in the other that got 375ccs. When will I be my final size and is there a drop and fluff associated with subfascial?
