Does a smaller implant mean faster recovery?

choim14
I am currently a preschool teacher and am considering breast augmentation. I plan on doing it during the holidays while most families are away so my classroom won't be as busy, and I also have a coteacher to help. I feel as though I have enough breast tissue so I wouldn't have to go that big as far as implants (high 200's-325 max). I did the rice test and saw that I liked to be around low 300. Will 10 days be enough to recovery and go back?
