Will my Breast Implant Get Bigger After Six Month of Sugery

Dear Huong,

Your implants will not enlarge post op.  If fact, your breast will usually expect 10% volume loss over the first few months post op not due to implant volume change but due to thinning of the overlying breast tissues.  There is no perfect way to determine to perfect breast volume pre or post op.  For example, there is a computer simulation program which can very accurately predict from your pre op photos what your breast shape and volume will be with various implant volumes and styles.  Patients were able to chose with the computer generated program almost exactly what their post op breast augmentation would look like.  Even with this added "forecast" still 60% wished they were bigger.  I encourage you to visit with your plastic surgeon regarding his policies on revisions.  Fault?  Two imperfect people attempting to define an inherently fuzzy endpoint.

Good luck 

You might have misunderstood, but your breast implants will improve in shape over several months as the breast relaxes and forms with the implant, yet the cup size and look will largely remain the same. Actually the opposite is true. Often the implant that feels stiff and too high and large will improve and feel slightly smaller once settled in.

Best of luck,
