I understand that I am only 6 days post surgery but these breasts are WAY too big for my tiny body. They are far apart, under my armpits. I look like a [RS bleep] star. I want them out. My surgeon didn't let me pick my cc. I ended up with 275 with added fill on one side to 330. I understand that they need to 'drop' and fluff but please tell me if I can hope for them to significantly go down in size? I am so upset, depressed and it's affecting my marriage already due to my insecurity. Please Help!

Answer: 6 days post-op You are very early in the healing process. Your implants and swelling will continue to settle over time. Please address your concerns with your surgeon. regards,

Answer: Too big after breast augmentation surgery… I'm sorry to hear about the concerns you are experiencing after breast surgery. Given that you are very fresh out of surgery, it is quite likely that you are experiencing significant “emotional ups and downs” unnecessarily. You should be aware that a significant percentage of patients at your stage of recovery will feel that they are too big or (more commonly) too small. 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 (usually) physically and psychologically adapt to the new body image. In other words, it is much too early to evaluate the outcome of the procedure performed; your breasts will undoubtedly change over the course of the next several weeks/months. The vast majority of patients with your concerns at your stage in the recovery process, turn out to be much happier two to three months after the procedure was performed. Although online consultants cannot predict whether or not you will be pleased with the long-term outlook, of the procedure performed, it is safe to predict that the breasts will change. Do your best to stay emotionally even keeled; continued patience and continued close follow-up with your plastic surgeon will be important. Best wishes for an outcome that you will be pleased with longer-term.
