8 weeks post op breast augmentation. Feel I went too big? What size if I choose to revise?

You should wait at least 3 months for swelling to subside and implants to settle in. If at this point you are still concerned about the size you should address it with your plastic surgeon.

Thanks for your inquiry, a picture might be helpful to set how your result is progressing.  I definitely agree you should wait a few more months and be communicating with your surgeon your goals.

You are too early to see what your final result will be so you should wait 4-6 months to decide to change to another size. It is very hard for a PS to guaranty bra size as bras are cut different as One bra is a 34 DD and the other is a 34D but they fit the same breast. Without a bra on is what you should be judging the size of your breast to see if you like the size and do not judge the results by the bra size. If nytour friends are telling you they look good then that should help ease your mind.  

You are still too early to decide if you should go to smaller implants.  It takes at minimum 3 months for the implants to settle and usually I tell women to wait at least 6 months until considering a revision.  Do not compare implant sizes with other women because your body shapes and preoperative breast size/shapes are different.  Make sure you discuss your concerns with your plastic surgeon.

You should not think about revision surgery until about 6 to 12 months after your initial procedure.  You will have some swelling for a while and you may get used to your new body image by then.  If you are still unhappy with the size, you can consider going smaller, but you should wait a while.

Give it 4-6 weeks more and discuss it with your surgeon. Without seeing your pre-op and post-op photos-- difficult to comment accurately. 

Hi, there.  Just based on your height and weight, the implants may have been slightly too wide; however, I cannot say for certain as I do not have the luxury of examining you in person.  When patients receive implants, they may think implants are too large since the patients are not used to the size.  I would give couple more months for the implants to settle down completely and for you to get used to the size.  Going down to 421 or 397 will not give too much different from 457 cc implants.  If you are wanting higher, narrower implants, you could go to high profile implants.  Please talk with your plastic surgeon to share your concern.  Best wishes!

Hi,I was sorry to hear that you are disappointed with your implants at the moment.Firstly I would strongly recommend that you wait until things have fully settled and you have lived with your implants for some time before you decide to undergo further surgery. I hope that with time you become used to your new size, and more confident about your new figure. I tend to find that when implants are placed under the muscle it can take up to 6 months for the muscle to finally relax and allow the implants to fall into their final position. I would therefore usually advise that you re-visit your plastic surgeon 6 months after surgery to review your decision.If you remain unhappy, you should consider the following points:When choosing size only YOU can really decide, whilst you may request the support and advice of your partner/family/plastic surgeon, if you do not request exactly what YOU want, then you are likely to be disappointed one way or the other (too small/too large).Choosing implant size is difficult - we do not yet have a computer program which will accurately demonstrate the final outcome for us. Looking at friends, or at pictures of other women, and trying to judge what size you need based on their outcome is even less satisfactory.Whilst plastic surgeons generally do not like to work in terms of cup size, and cannot guarantee a particular cup size, a general rule of thumb is that one cup size is approx. 100-150cc. Therefore, your 450cc implants were likely to have increased your cup size by three to four cups ie from a B to a DD/E cup. As it was, you went to a DD, so in your case, one cup size is approx 150cc. Therefore if you do decide to drop a cup size then a 300cc implant may be appropriate.When deciding upon the actual implant, the volume is only a part of the equation. Most plastic surgeons now also consider a 'biodimensional' approach to implant selection so that your chosen implant most suits your body frame. Your plastic surgeon will be able to discuss this further with you.If you are considering changing your implant, then you should be aware of the risks involved in any breast augmentation procedure. Whilst you did not experience any complications last time, and hopefully won't this time, you should be sure that dropping a size is worth the expense and the risk.Hopefully, in time you will grow to love your implants and not feel that any further surgery is necessary, but if you do decide to proceed, I hope it all turns out great and you finally get the breasts you were hoping forkind regards

I would what 4 months or so to see how you will look when the swelling subsides.  If at that point you want them smaller, then it can be done.

Congrats on being post op.  It takes many patients months to adjust to your new breast volume.  I wouldn't begin to consider a size change for atleast 6 months. If you do want to drop your implant volume, u would need to drop back 2-3 sizesBe patient Best wishes
