I’m 3 weeks post op from my BA surgery with 650cc HP implants behind the muscle. I started as a B34 bra cup and 5’3, 120 pounds. These implants are considered big and were supposed to bring me up at least 2 cup sizes but have barely made a difference. I know brands vary but I’m only a C cup with most bras I’ve tried on, when I was wanting a DD. Is it possible my dr put smaller implants w/o my permission or by mistake? Or will they get bigger when they drop and fluff?
Answer: Wrong Breast Implants? At three weeks it is too early to see what your final result will be, you need to wait 4 to 6 months. Regarding your implants, you should receive a card with all the information of your implants, including manufacturer, style and size and serial numbers should you ever need that in the future. If you didn't receive a card, ask for one or ask for a copy of your operative report which should also contain the information. Good luck.

Answer: Did my doctor give me the wrong size breast implants? My practice documents in each patient record the implant manufacturer name, number of CCs, date of implant insertion, and serial number. This information is used should an implant require removal and replacement. The staff at the plastic surgeon's office that performed your breast augmentation should be able to give you a copy of this information if they did not include it in your post-op instructions.

Answer: Breasts need time to drop and fluff At 3 weeks you are about 15 percent settled, shaped, softened, dropped and fluffed. "Drop and fluff" refers to the fact that as the skin stretches and the muscles relax, the implants move down and out slowly – about 1 percent a day. It’ll be about six weeks before they even begin to settle down, but they’ll be close to 80 percent settled and softened at three months. Watching their progress is like watching your hair grow. You don’t see a difference in your hair growth daily, but all of a sudden you need a haircut.

Answer: How to confirm what size breast implants you have. Every breast implant has a brand, model and serial number associated with it that is recorded in the operative report by the surgeon, and in the OR records by the nurses. If you did not receive a card with this information immediately after surgery you may request this information from your surgeon or the facility where you had the surgery. Although it is possible, it is highly unlikely that a surgeon will tell you that they placed a certain size implant but actually placed a different one.
