I had a lift and 500cc implant. How long before I can have them corrected? I had told my dr. I wanted larger breasts I didn’t want a lift however he said it would be best. I did not realize that they removed tissue from the breast when doing a lift. In the picture I am 2 weeks post op. Now I am 6 and they are very similar to the size I had just firm and lifted now. Close friends say they can’t even tell I had anything done. Just that they seem rounder. I am so upset not sure how to discuss with dr. Will they get bigger after they drop more?

Answer: Am I going to be bigger? Dear Jessica. Dear Jessica,I appreciate your question very much. You’re only six days after surgery and you have not begun to drop and fluff. It is true that tightening the skin on a breast lift makes them slightly smaller. On the other hand, you also received a very large breast implant which should make a nice difference for you. I recommend to my patients day wait a full year before any revision surgery. Please address all you’re concerned with your plastic surgeon. Good luck!

Answer: Breast implants after a lift Your implants will not change in size at all. The appearance of your breasts may change, but it seems that this would not satisfy you. You probably have to wait at least six months before considering getting larger implants.

Answer: Will breast implants get bigger with healing? The breast shape may change a bit and swelling subsides and implants settle a bit. Overall, your size will most be a little smaller as the last bit of swelling resolves. A 500 cc implant is certainly on the larger side, and even if some tissue was removed, you should have a substantial increase in size. Discuss your disappointment with your surgeon. After you have healed completely (6 months or so), perhaps consider an implant exchange.
