When will swelling be completely gone after subglandular breast augmentation?

Question

I was a 34 B preop and had subglandular silicone high profile smooth implants. The implants were 350 cc. To me, I do not see swelling, but I am not a doctor. When will the swelling be completely gone, and when should I be able to know my post op size in order to purchase bras? Thank you!

It takws several months for the swelling to subside. After the first 6-8 weeks most of the swelling has subsided. I would wait for 3 months to buy any expensive bra.

I instruct my patients to be expect a few weeks of swelling after a breast augmentation. A supportive bra and massage is appropriate to consider.

Hi,

Thanks for posting your question. I am happy to try and help you. It is
important to remember that a board certified plastic surgeon will be your best
resource when it comes to an accurate assessment of your situation, and concerns.

Having said that, swelling is an individualized recovery. Everyone will heal at different rates. Usually a few weeks.

Best wishes.

Most of the swelling takes 4-6 weeks to subside. It might take a few months for complete resolution of the swelling. You will probably notice a small decrease in size which is normal.
