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?

Answer: Postop Swelling For most patients, significant swelling after breast augmentation decreases by 3 to 6 weeks post-surgery. Given your surgery was 5 days ago, it's likely that your current size is influenced by post-operative swelling and is likely at its peak. The true final size and shape of your breasts will become more apparent around 3 months after your surgery as the swelling fully subsides and the implants settle. For an accurate assessment of your final bra size, it's advisable to wait until this period has passed. Always communicate with your surgeon about any concerns during your recovery process- best of luck!

Answer: Swelling After Breast Augmentation Swelling starts to go down around one week after surgery. Swelling slowly tapers off, and patients should not have much swelling after 2-3 weeks.

Answer: Implant to cup conversion I tell my patients their final cup size depends on their frame and how that frame changes based on the implant selected. Typically, 150-200cc will give you a 1 cup increase in size. A 325cc breast implant for your frame will likely give you a 2 cup increase in size. If you were an A cup previously I would expect you to land in the C cup range. At 5 days there is definitely swelling involved. The first 50% of swelling goes down in about 3 weeks and the next 50% of swelling will take 3-6 months to resolve. Patient typically find their final cup size at about 5 months post-op.
