I am 2 days post op. My breasts do not look at all the size I wanted; they look too small. Should I be concerned?

Asked By:Willia in Illinois, IL

I always heard that right after surgery the breasts are very swollen and look much bigger than they will be once swelling goes down. Even with swelling my breasts don't look as big as I wanted. I know it may take time for shape to be right. Should I be so concerned about the size? I am so worried that they will be too small. I would really appreciate any advice.
