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: 3 months Swelling after breast augmentation is a normal part of the healing process, and it can significantly affect the appearance of your breasts in the initial weeks. After the procedure, you may notice that your breasts are larger than expected, and this is often due to swelling. The swelling is usually at its peak within the first few days after surgery, and it can make your breasts look much fuller than the final result will be. As the healing progresses, the swelling will gradually reduce, typically starting to subside after the first 2-3. By this time, you should notice a noticeable improvement. Most patients experience significant reduction in swelling over the first month, but it's common for residual swelling to linger for up to 3 months, with a gradual softening and settling of the implants. You should wait until the 3 month mark to determine your bra size.

Answer: Breast Augmentation Recovery Timeline After breast augmentation, it's normal for swelling to be quite noticeable, especially within the first week. Given that you're only 5 days post-op, what you're experiencing is likely due to this initial swelling. Typically, swelling starts to subside significantly after the first few weeks and will continue to decrease over the next several months. By 3 to 6 months post-surgery, you should have a more accurate idea of your final bra size as the implants settle and the swelling resolves. To assess your final size accurately, it's best to wait until this period has passed and your surgeon confirms that the healing process is complete.

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: 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.
