Why do my 480cc UHP implants seem small? (photos)

Thank you for sharing your excellent question and photographs.  When implants are first placed, the accompanying implant volume and tissue swelling causes an appearance that is high, wide, and flat.  As your tissues heal further, and they stretch to accomodate your UHP implants you should see a more natural appearance.  Though they will not get “bigger” you should see changes in the cup size as measured in bras.  Hang in there and allow your results more time to mature.  Hope this helps.

Dear linds123,
I understand your concern and it is quite normal to be concerned about the outcome following a breast augmentation surgery. However, you are still in the very early stages of the healing process.Your will need to be patient at this moment and follow what your surgeon has instructed you to do post operatively.At the early stage of the healing process, the tissues around the implants are still swollen. Once the swelling subsides and the implants drop to their final position, you will be able to see the final result of your breast augmentation surgery.

Based on your preoperative photos that is very good result.  Hold off on judging size until about three months; I think you'll be very surprised as to what cup size you ended up with.  Always put in the implant that fits and at this time, I think you have that.  Let it heal and then consider your options to go bigger then.  Best Wishes!!
