Previous to surgery, I was a 34/36 A cup. I wanted to go to a full C cup and my surgeon highly recommended 350 cc silicone high profile implants (hp due to my thorax he said). It's a month after surgery and my boobs are in HUGE, I have not gotten sized but I am probably around a DD or a DDD cup now. It is NOT what I wanted, my surgeon said they take 3 months for the swelling to go down. What do you think? I am absolutely devastated, I hate them so much, I can't even get out of my house anymore.

Answer: Unhappy with result Certainly convey your sentiments to your surgeon. That said, I would give yourself at least 3 months before assessing size, symmetry, and contour. During that time the implants will slowly settle and the swelling will gradually completely resolve. At that point if you are still unhappy with the size, a downsize could certainly be considered.

Answer: Too early to be sure Everyone has different amounts of swelling. Without having seen a before and after photo it is hard to say for sure, but a 350 mL implant will generally make an A cup enlarge to a C cup (+/- depending on your weight and height). Also, implants often look larger to patients until they settle out, meaning until they drop lower on the chest over time. I would continue to be patient for the next couple of months to allow the implants to drop and the rest of the swelling resolve. If it doesn't start too look smaller then I would visit your plastic surgeon again to evaluate for any post-operative seromas.

Answer: Breast augmentation Hello, and thank you for your question. I am sorry your having problems following your procedure. Your only one month following your augmentation and I would recommend that you wait approximately 6 months to see what the final size will be. Many times the implant will ride high and the skin envelope will need to stretch allowing the breast to drop giving you a much softer more natural look. You can always consider downsizing the implants or changing the profile if you are are still unhappy. Please discuss all of this with your treating surgeon. Best of luck.
