Congratulations on having undergone the breast augmentation procedure. 

It may help you to know that a significant percentage of patients at your stage of recovery will feel that they are too big or (more commonly) too small. The vast majority of these patients who are initially quite emotional or "depressed" end up being very pleased with the outcome of the procedure performed.I routinely ask my patients to wait at least 3-6 months before evaluating the end results of the breast augmentation surgery. This waiting time allows patients to (usually) physically and psychologically adapt to the new body image. From the physiological standpoint, it takes many months ( and even up to one year) to see the final results of surgery. factors such as swelling, tissue contraction, skin redraping, implant shifting etc. come into play. You may be pleasantly surprised wants to be "drop and fluff" phenomenon has occurred.From the psychological standpoint, patients undergo an “adaptation period" during which time they get used to the changes that the surgical procedure has brought about. Severe emotional swings can also occur after any type of surgical procedure.Generally speaking, BEFORE undergoing the breast procedure it is very important for patients to communicate size goals carefully with their surgeons. In my practice, the use of photographs of “goal” pictures (and breasts that are too big or too small) are very helpful. Bra sizers and computer imaging are also helpful visual aids. On the other hand, I have found that the use of words such as “natural” or “C or D cup” means different things to different people and therefore prove unhelpful.

Best wishes for an outcome you will be very pleased with.

You have an excellent result from your surgery and I wouldn't make a size judgement for several months as the breasts heal. Patients often feel their implants are too small/too large at first and as they get used to them they end up very pleased with the size and how they look in their cloths. Be patient, it's still very early.

Hello,1 week post op is very early in the recovery timeline. Your implants are under pressure at the moment from swollen muscle/tissue. It will take between 2-6 months for the skin to slowly expand and for implants to drop slightly in position and become soft. You will need to wait at least a few more months to see these changes.All the best
