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: Breast Implant Sizing Congratulations on your surgery. You are very early on in the process and things will continue to change and improve. The implants are in a tight space and are being flattened right now. Over the next several months the skin and muscle will continue to give and stretch and you will gain in projection.It is about 4-6 months before you can really appreciate your final result. Be patient and don't stress right now and see how things look at that time.Sizing is very tricky process and we spend a great deal of time on it. The patient's body (anatomy) and the soft tissues will ultimately determine how big one can go. Going larger than what you body can accommodate is a set up for future breast revision surgery.Hope that helps.

Answer: BA results Dear LZA22, 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 at 6 weeks post op.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.
