800cc looks small - 1 day post-op (photos)

Thank you for your question and pictures.  The breasts won't get bigger.  And you are right, that is the maximum size.  However, as the breast skin and the muscles stretch, the breast will take on a much more aesthetically pleasing shape and will thus may appear to be bigger than they are now.  You can't make any judgement about size until 3 months after the surgery.

I'm sorry to hear about the anxiety you are experiencing after breast surgery. Given that you are very “fresh” out of surgery,  it is quite likely that you are experiencing significant “emotional ups and downs” unnecessarily. In other words, it is much too early to evaluate the outcome of the procedure performed; your breasts will undoubtedly change over the course of the next several weeks/months.  The vast majority of patients with your concerns at your stage in the recovery process, turn out to be much happier two to three months after the procedure was performed.





I routinely ask my patients to wait at least 3-6 months before evaluating the end results of the breast augmentation surgery. This waiting time allows patients to (usually) physically and psychologically adapt to the new body image. There is definitely a physiologic and "psychological" (body image)  adaptation process that occurs, at differing rates for every patient, for patients who undergo any type of aesthetic surgery, including breast  augmentation surgery.  Understandably, patients often experience significant emotional "ups and downs" around the time of surgery.











In other words, it is much too early to evaluate the outcome of the procedure performed; your breasts will undoubtedly change over the course of the next several weeks/months.   Do your best to stay emotionally even keeled. I would suggest continued patience and continued close follow-up with your plastic surgeon.







Best wishes for an outcome that you will be pleased with longer-term.
