I had a breast implant done a week ago, I used 375cc of silicone gel. I am worried that my breast are going to be smaller than I imagined, if my breast are already soft instead of hard, does that mean that the swelling is just about done? and the size I am now will more likely be my permanent size?

Answer: Swelling and Breast Augmentation
You are very fortunate that much of your swelling has abated. By one week it is really hard to determine what your ultimate result will be. The degree of swelling is certainly dependent on what pocket was created for the implant, implant size, and extent of dissection. Even though it is only one week ago that you had surgery, you are healing. The inflammatory process or healing process is still going on. It is hard at this time to predict your final size and result. Right now, do you like what you see? These are all good problems. :-)

Answer: Breasts after surgery
Everyone responds differently to surgery, and some patients swelling subsides rather quickly, although by one week that is a bit unusual. Hard to predict the final size at this point, it is too soon.
