(there are more pix on the other posts. now I am a 34D!! how did this happen? will they get smaller?

Answer: Breast Size Following Breast Augmentation We frequently see patients who express concern about the size of their breast implants following breast augmentation surgery. In some cases, this occurs in the immediate post-operative period. The majority of these patients are concerned that their breasts are too big. As swelling subsides, most of them are ultimately happy with their breast size.Immediately after surgery, it's hard to make judgements about breast size because of swelling and muscle spasm. It may take weeks for the majority of swelling to resolve. In addition, muscle spasm can increase upper breast fullness and make the breasts look larger than they really are. This may also take weeks to resolve.Many patients also experience transient adjustment reactions following breast augmentation. These patients have difficulty adjusting to larger breasts and feel as if people are staring at them. With the passage of time, most of them are able to adjust to their new implants. Eventually, they may even forget that the implants are there. The adjustment process varies from patient to patient but may take months. Immediately following surgery, it's not unusual to see patients who feel that their breasts are too large. After several months, they adjust to their new implants. They feel that their new breasts fit nicely on their body and they're happy with their results. Occasionally, some of them request even larger implants.If you have concerns about breast size following breast augmentation surgery, you should communicate with your plastic surgeon. He has dealt with this situation in other patients and can address many of your concerns. With time, many of these concerns may resolve without intervention. Ultimately, you may still be very happy with your breast augmentation.

Answer: BBA There is no way to guarantee a particular bra size. Bra sizing varies greatly between bra manufacturers and a C in one bra will be a D in another. What matters more than the assigned bra size is the way the implant looks on you. The best option for your body and aesthetic goals can be determined in a thorough implant sizing session.Implant sizing depends on several factors. One of the most important factors is your breast width. Generally, your surgeon will measure your breast width, and then provide you with a range of implant sizes appropriate for your native breast size. There are more nuances to it than just what I've described, but this approach works for most women.I usually have my patients bring in a large bra and a tight t-shirt to do sizing. I'll then choose 3-4 implants that I feel are appropriate, and have my patients place them in the bra under the tight t-shirt. My patients can then look in the mirror and get a good sense of what they will look like with the provided implant sizes. My patients like this approach and get a great idea of how they will look.By using this technique, your surgeon can outline a range of appropriate implant sizes that will be aesthetically pleasing, and you make the final decision.I hope this helps. Good luck!Sincerely,
