I understand that they are subpectorial, and that they need to settle, but i really like the size of them now (not so much the shape). I currently sit at a 36D and I was wondering, when they settle and drop into place, will I still be a 36D or will I lose a cup size?
Answer: Three Months For Final Result There is always swelling that occurs with a breast augmentation, but not an entire cup size worth of swelling. As you progress in the healing process, your breasts will relax, settle, and lose some volume. However, I would expect that you will still be close to your current size. They will just sit in a more natural way. Usually at the one month mark your breasts will be pretty much the size they will remain, so just be patient and see how things evolve over the healing process. I hope this helps.

Answer: Swelling , some advices: Thanks for the question.In my practice, after performing a BA I recommend to my patients to limit the movement of the arms for two weeks. After that, you can move your arms taking care and always with common sense. In this regard, it's not advisable to carry heavy weights to prevent the implant out of position, and allow the formation of the physiological capsule around the implant, also to avoid pain and breast swelling.Kind regards,DR.

Answer: Swelling after breast augmentation The total recovery time following a breast augmentation varies from patient to patient but can take up to 6 months. However, most of the swelling will subside within about 3 - 6 weeks. Your breasts should not decrease an entire cup size after the swelling goes away completely. Most likely you will stay very close to the 36D results you are hoping for. I know it can be hard, but just be patient with the recovery process and if after a few months you are not happy, go back and see your plastic surgeon. Best of luck!

Answer: Will I lose a cup size once swelling goes away after Breast Augmentation? Congratulations on having undergone the breast augmentation procedure. Generally speaking, patients will report that their breasts will "soften up" over the course of the first several months after breast augmentation surgery.

Answer: Will I lose a cup size once swelling goes away after Breast Augmentation? Not sure you should experience such a drastic reduction in size as the swelling resolves. Remember, it can take a good 4-6 months to allow all the swelling to resolve and to let the implants drop and settle some. If you don't like your size/shape after 6 months, you can always discuss with your operating surgeon the option of going larger in the future. Good luck!
