I will be 6 weeks post on Wed and I'm feeling like I'm small. My doctor measured my base width at 12.0cm. Showed him pics of how big I wanted them to be. I understand my cleavage is a lot further apart but I just wanted the size of my breasts to be bigger than when I was breastfeeding. I was hoping to be a D or DD cup. I am not sure what bra size I am yet but I'm feeling like I'm only a B... Are my breasts still going to get bigger or smaller? Should i have went bigger? (Pics aren't in order)

Answer: Will my breasts get bigger or smaller? Should I have gone bigger? Congratulations on having undergone the breast augmentation procedure. Based on the photographs, you seem to have a very nice early outcome; in other words, I think that your plastic surgeon has done a very nice job for you. In my opinion, the "drop and fluff” phenomenon does hold some validity; as breast implants “settle”, many patients feel that their breasts actually look larger. Although I cannot comment specifically about your anatomy and its limitations, (generally speaking) every patient undergoing breast augmentation surgery should understand that their anatomic starting point will limit the outcome of breast augmentation surgery. In other words, a patient's starting anatomy will limit how large of a breast implant can be utilized safely. The use of a larger breast implant (than what is safely "allowed" by the patient's anatomy) can be problematic; potential problems include breast implant displacement/malpostion issues ( such as bottoming out, lateral displacement, symmastia...) and/or significant breast implant rippling/palpability.My best advice: continued patience. Keep in mind, that a significant percentage of patients at your stage in the recovery process feel that they are "too big" or "too small". In the long run, once patients have adjusted physically and psychologically to their new body image, the vast majority of patients are very pleased.
