Although I know they will be high close to post op, I was told you will get an idea of what your breasts will look like close to week 3 (which I am 2.5 weeks out). I conveyed that I wanted a lower pole fullness, natural teardrop look. Based on my current look, I am afraid I am going to look fake and that they are going to rest too high. I didn't want a lot of upper pole fullness. Also, I had requested a full C/small D and it seems like I am more of a medium C (and I am still swollen). Thoughts?
Answer: Post operative results 1) It is still too early to determine your final result. Your implants will most likely drop some and look great.2) There really is no way for a surgeon to produce a difference between a small C, medium C, full C, or small D. As long as your breasts look good, cup size is arbitrary.Be patient.Hope this helps.

Answer: Breast Implants / Breast Augmentation / Anatomic Gummy Bear Implants / Silicone Implants / Breast Implant Revision Surgery I appreciate your question. Right now, you are very early on in the post op recovery period. It will take 3-6 months for you to feel comfortable having implants in your body and for them to settle. This time allows for you to physically and psychologically adapt to your new body image. There are many variables that contribute to a breast augmentation's final result. Preop size and shape, IMF location, location of the implants and type of implant. Patients heal at different rates and each breast will sometimes heal at a different rate. Rest, relax, recover and heal. Please Express your concerns to your surgeon so he/she can examine you at this time. Then reassess final result at 6 months. The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam. Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative breast surgery. Best of luck!Dr. Schwartz

Answer: 5'6" 135lbs. Prev size Full A. I had 425cc/445cc placed under muscle. My PS used mod. profile silicone Mentor implants Thank you for your question. Your plastic surgeon will always be your best resource when it comes to an accurate assessment of your situation, advice, predictions, and/or meaningful reassurance. Generally speaking, breast implants will "drop" into the pocket that was created during surgery and massaging the implants downward may assist in the dropping of the implants after surgery (for those patients who want to help with the settling of the implants). The rate of breast implant "settling" may depend on factors such as size of breast implant pocket dissected, tightness of the overlying skin/muscle layers, size of breast implant utilized, and concerns such as pre-existing breast asymmetry. Normally, it takes about 3-6 months (for some patients longer) to see the final result. It is very common for one side to settle faster than the other. Again, best to follow your plastic surgeon for more specifics. Best wishes for an outcome that you will be pleased with long-term.
