I may be experiencing what people call “boob greed “ but I feel like I should have gone a bigger size to create more upper pole fullness and all round fullness. Will my implants “fluff” more ? I am currently 7 weeks post op. I understand I may need to wait the full 6 months to see how my implants truly settle.
Answer: Am I experiencing boob greed? Overall, I think that you have a good understanding of some of the common emotions experienced after breast augmentation surgery. Depending on exactly where the breast implant "pockets" were dissected, some further breast implant "settling" can be expected over the course of the next several months. As you know, some patients report that their breasts appear larger as this "drop in fluff" phenomenon occurs. At this point, the only good course of action: ongoing patience and continued close follow-up with your plastic surgeon. Best wishes for an outcome that you will be pleased with longer term.

Answer: Boob greed Definitely allow yourself a full recovery before you decide whether you are happy with your size. That said it is not uncommon to have a perfectly successful breast augmentation surgery and to want to go bigger. If you have any questions or concerns about your recovery or feel you want to trade in for a larger size once you have fully recovered, you should consult your surgeon as he/she understands your case best and in depth.

Answer: Boob greed From your photos, you appear to have achieved a nice cosmetic result. In my experience ,complete resolution of the swelling and settling of the implants has generally occurred by three months postop. I delay any discussions about size until this time. Whether you should have had larger implants placed is impossible to comment on without having examined you preoperatively and knowing what your desired results were. If you established good communication with your surgeon and they were understaning of your desires, you should trust them to have selected the correct implant for you.

Answer: Am I experiencing boob greed? (photos) Thank you for your question and photographs, and it does sound like it! After placement of implants, the overall appearance of the breasts will change dramatically over the next several months, as the implants drop, and the overlying tissue stretches to accommodate the extra volume. Early in recovery the combination of tissue swelling and the volume of the implants causes a flattened, wide, and elevated appearance to the implants, while the lower breast appears empty. As this swelling resolves, and your tissues stretch, you should see gradual improvement, with the lower portion of each breast rounding out and increasing cup size. At seven weeks I would anticipate these changes to start taking place shortly. I know waiting is difficult, but judge your results at 4-6 months after surgery as most of your breast changes should have occurred by then. Hope this helps
