BA 8 weeks ago. I'm 5'2", 120 lbs. Fit body type. Crossfitter x 2 years. At suggestion of PS & husband selected 457 cc silicone mod plus. Expected to go from 34B to 34 D. Measuring 34 DD. Feel like I may look too big. But most people tell me I look fine. Close friend got 421 2 weeks before I did. She's 2 inches taller, 5 lbs heavier. Hers look too small. Wondering if I should give it more time and if I should go 421 or 395 if I revise. Don't want to end up small either.
Answer: You should wait at least 3 months. 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.

Answer: Breast Augmentation sizing 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.

Answer: Too Big ???? Breast Augmentation 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.

Answer: 8 weeks post op breast augmentation. Feel I went too big? What size if I choose to revise? You should certainly wait at least several additional months before evaluating the outcome of the procedure performed. It may be helpful for you to know that it is not unusual for patients to feel that they are “too small” or “too big”, early on after breast augmentation surgery. Most patients who feel this way ultimately are pleased with the results of surgery. I routinely ask my patients to wait at least 3-6 months before evaluating the end results of the breast augmentation surgery. This waiting time allows patients to (uaually) physically and psychologically adapt to the new body image. From the physiological standpoint, it takes many months ( and even up to one year) to see the final results of surgery. Factors such as swelling, tissue contraction, skin redraping, implant shifting etc. come into play. From the psychological standpoint, patients undergo an “adaptation period" during which time they get used to the changes that the surgical procedure has created. I hope this helps.

Answer: Getting smaller implants? 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.
