I am a petite 5'1 100lbs and the implants chosen for m were 425cc hp since I liked the look of the 375cc. I'm currently 11 days post Op and I'm very much regretting not getting 350 instead. I'm just kind of depressed now because I literally wanted this for so long and I feel like it's the worst mistake of my life. Plus I lost sensation in my left nipple. Do you think my surgeon would do a revision for me at a discounted price? I just want this anxiety to end. :(
Answer: Size Change after Breast Aug Hi, EvelynGSanchez. Thank you for sharing your photograph and concerns.As others have already stated, it is very early to now your final result. In looking at your photograph, your tissues still appear quite tight and swollen, with the implants distorted and elevated. Generally, as the tissues relax and stretch, the implants will settle into a more appropriate and balance position, and take on a more pleasing contour, termed with the catchy "drop and fluff." The "drop and fluff" change refers to the filling of the bottom part of the breast once the implant settles from its elevated position.Regarding the size, the volume will reduce with the reduction in swelling. Whether the implant appears somewhat larger or smaller will depend on your tissue's degree of relaxation and the implant's final position and contour. These changes definitely take some time.Your surgeon will be in the best position to help guide you as to whether your course is on track or not. He/she would also be able to suggest whether certain adjuvant tools, such as massage, a breast strap, certain medications, etc. would be beneficial in your case or not.Best of luck to you, and I hope that you ultimately achieve the results (and size) that you were hoping for!

Answer: Implants at 11 days At 11 days out, you are still early in the healing process and really need to give it 4-6 months to settle. Best of luck.
