Will my boobs get bigger as they drop? I had my BA almost 3 weeks ago. (Photos)

I got 410cc moderate profile smooth round silicone unders. A lot of the swelling has gone down and decided to get sized to see what I’m measuring at. I know my boobs are still healing and very high still but I was curious to see what size I was. They told me I was a 34D so I had gone up 2 full cup sizes! I tried on a couple of non underwire bras just for fun and they seem to fit perfectly. Will my bra size increase or decrease after they drop and fluff?

These sounds are commonly heard up to a few weeks post operative after a breast augmentation, it's possible for both air and fluid to be trapped inside the pocket around the implant. I would alert your surgeon with your concerns, typically these sounds should no longer be heard at 7 weeks...

Thank you for your question.  At 3 months post op breast augmentation, your incisions are completely healed.  The bruising you have described is normal given your description.  Best of luck.

Thank you for your question and congratulations on your surgery!  After an augmentation the nerves of the skin are stretched as a result of swelling and the increased volume of the implants.  This stretching irritates the nerves which can cause a number of different nipple and breast skin s...

Thank you for your question.  Increased breast size is common with weight gain, pregnancy and/or breast feeding.  Best to follow up with your primary care physician to discuss your particular circumstances.  Good luck.

The answer to your question does not really pertain to any specific size increase.  Most surgeons have a standard fee for performing a breast enlargement, with additional fees for the anesthesiologist and the surgical facility, prep lab work and a few incidentals.  The cost of the implants can v...
