I am 3 weeks post op with saline filled to 440cc implants from an a cup. I have waited 10 long years for these and couldn't express more to my PS that I wanted d cups with multiple photos to show him! I have heard of dropping and fluffing, but is this really true? It seems the swelling is gone and no more pain but they still can feel a little tight. I just really don't want to be unhappy with these as I have waited do long to get them and don't have more money to get them done again to go bigger

Answer: Breast implants and final size Generally it takes about three months for breast implants to settle after a breast augmentation so you will not see your final result until then. Sometimes your skin/tissue will only allow for a certain amount of cc's at the time of surgery, regardless what you or your plastic surgeon planned for.Best wishes,Dr.Bruno

Answer: Change in Implant Size A to D Breast implants never get larger however, as the skin adapts and breasts "drop and fluff" they may seem larger to your eyes. This may take anywhere between 3-6 months after surgery, and the tightness felt early after the surgery will be gone by this time. Another matter of importance is the fact that you cannot turn an A cup flat chest into a D cup with a single operation. If a big cup size is requested, one should consider a 2-stage enlargement, as the skin needs to adapt to the underlying increase in volume.

Answer: Breast Implants Not Big Enough Congratulations on your surgery. Now is a time to relax and heal and you will enjoy your results in due time. It does take about 4 months before the final result is apparent. During this time the skin and muscle need to stretch and allow room for the implant. Generally, the implants appear rather flat and wide and with time there will be more protruding (projection) and become more round.One thing to remember is that it is not always possible to get the exact cup size that a person desires. Every body and anatomy is different and what the body allows should always be taken into consideration.For now, recover and follow your surgeons recommendations and assess your results in 4 months.Hope that helps.
