How Long Until Implants Settle into True Size?

Hi,

Generally, breasts are slightly swollen initially after breast augmentation. Over the ensuing 2-3 weeks, the swelling improves. With this, the breast size usually gets slightly smaller. The implants also tend to drop and the skin stretches out, giving a more natural shape over the same period of time.

Best of luck.

Sadly your breasts will not look larger with recovery but will actually more likley look smaller in the rangeof 5-10%

Actually at the first week or so they usually look a bit bigger because of swelling. They probably will look a bit smaller over time.

As a rule, every surgery is associated with a variable degree of swelling. As that swelling goes away, the breasts will be SMALLER than they appear immediately after surgery.

Soon after surgery, i have seen many patients whose implants are high due to swelling, giving the impression of a smaller breast size.

It may take up to 6 months for your implant to achieve it's final shape and size.

However, if you gain or lose significant amount of weight, your breast size will change as well.
