Silicone, 400cc, under the muscle. Unfortunately, I feel they are way bigger than the size I wanted. I'm actually starting to feel really depressed and unhappy. I've includedp a picture which is 2 weeks post op. My question for you is, do they still look really swollen, is that why they look huge? When they settle more within the next 4 weeks, will they not look so big?? Also, when will my nipples not look so puffy and be able to get hard again?

Answer: Will my breast implants look smaller after they settle? Thank you for your question and photographs, and it appears that you will have a very nice result. After placement of implants, the overall appearance of the breasts will change dramatically over the next several months, as the implants drop, and the overlying tissue stretches to accommodate the extra volume. In your case the swelling of your breast skin and chest muscle is flattening your implant and maintaining it in a higher position. As this swelling resolves, your implants will drop and the redistribution of volume will round out the lower portion of each breast to leave you a more natural appearance. I know waiting is difficult, but judge your results at 4-6 months after surgery as most of your breast changes should have occurred by then. Hope this helps.

Answer: 2 Weeks Post op Hello,Thank you for your question and photos. At two weeks post op it is quite normal for the breasts to appear larger, swollen and quite high still. As your tissues soften the implants can be expected to drop down a bit which will minimize the upper pole volume and expand the lower pole. The Drop and Fluff process takes between 2-6 months.I recommend that you share your concerns with your Plastic Surgeon so that they can advise you about what to expect as you heal.All the best
