When Does Swelling After Breast Augmentation Begin to Subside?

February 3, 2009
Asked By:kcali in california

I had 325cc silicone breast implants 5 days ago. I am 5'1 and 102 pounds. I was hoping to be a C cup, but I am fitting into a D bra. Is this because of the swelling? If so, when will the swelling begin to go down? When will I know exactly what bra size I will wear?
