I’m worried my breasts are too big. Although I loved my doctor I had heard after that he had a reputation for going big. I’m 130lbs 5’3 had a B now I have a D. I told him from the beginning I wanted a natural looking fuller look. I got 330cc mod profile under the muscle. I feel like they make me look top-heavy. I realize they still need to drop n fluff more but with my athletic lifestyle i think they’ll get in the way. Any device on what to do would be appreciated.
Answer: Are my 330cc breasts too big for my athletic lifestyle? Thank you for your pictures and questions. The only person who can truly answer that question is you. I hope that you chose the implant size along with the guidance of your plastic surgeon. It looks as though you have a nice result and perhaps you just need time to adjust. I would advise waiting at least 6-12 after surgery before considering any type of revision. Best of luck!

Answer: Time Give it more time for them to drop into place. The implant selection should be based on a combination of your desired size, soft tissue dynamics, breast base diameter and skin elasticity. I recommend an in-office examination as well as a detailed discussion with a surgeon who you are comfortable with. Finally, make sure your surgeon is a Double-Board Certified Plastic Surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS), a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgery (ASPS), a member of the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), and a fellow of the American College of Surgeons (FACS).Best,Dr. DesaiBeverly Hills Institute for Aesthetic Plastic SurgeryHarvard Educated, Beverly Hills & Miami Beach TrainedDouble Board-Certified, Double Fellowship-Trained Beverly Hills Plastic Surgeon

Answer: Implant dropping Dear Burkie22,dropping of implants is part of the healing process and this occurs after the tissues surrounding the implants slowly relax, allowing the implants to settle into their final position. It can take about four to six months for the implant to drop down to their final position.I understand that you are worried about your implants are not dropping as expected. However, you are still in the early phase of the recovery period. Please do allow some time for the healing process to occur. If after six months, you are not satisfied with the appearance of your breast, you can visit your plastic surgeon and discuss your concerns.Daniel Barrett, MD Certified, American Board of Plastic Surgery Member, American Society of Plastic Surgery Member, American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery

Answer: Are my 330cc breasts too big for my athletic lifestyle? Based on your photographs, you seem to have a very nice outcome after breast augmentation surgery. Having said that, only you will be able to tell (once you have become more active) whether or not the breast implants are "too big" for your lifestyle. I routinely ask my patients to wait at least 3-6 months before evaluating the end results of the breast augmentation surgery. This waiting time allows patients to (usually) physically and psychologically adapt to the new body image. From the physiological standpoint, it takes many months (even up to one year) to see the final results of surgery. Factors such as swelling, tissue contraction, skin redraping, implant shifting etc come into play From a psychological standpoint, patients undergo an "adaptation" period during which time they get used to the changes that the surgical procedure has brought about. Best wishes.

Answer: Recommendation Hello. Thank you for your inquiry and congratulations on your surgery! It is important to have an in-person medical assessment regarding this issue as it is difficult to determine virtually. Continue to update your doctor in the matter and follow their post-op protocol. It is important to get cleared by your doctor before engaging in specific physical activity before the 3 month healing period has ended as the healing stage is crucial for healthy results. It generally takes around 6 months to a year to see your final results. Your tissues will take time to relax and allow your implants to "Drop and Fluff" settling into place. Our tips for recovery following breast augmentation are to wear a supportive sports bra for 3 months post-operative and refrain from lifting anything heavier than 10 lbs for 3 weeks as we don't want any strain at your incision sites.
