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: 1 week post op, some advices: Thanks for the question.In my practice, after performing a BA I recommend to my patients to limit the movement of the arms for two weeks. After that, you can move your arms taking care and always with common sense. In this regard, it's not advisable to carry heavy weights to prevent the implant out of position, and allow the formation of the physiological capsule around the implant, also to avoid pain and breast swelling. Kind regards

Answer: Breast Implants/Breast Augmentation/Anatomic Gummy Bear Implants/ Silicone Implants/Breast Implant Revision Surgery I appreciate your question. Right now, you are very early on in the post op recovery period. It will take 3-6 months for you to feel comfortable having implants in your body and for them to settle. This time allows for you to physically and psychologically adapt to your new body image. There are many variables that contribute to a breast augmentation's final result. Preop size and shape, IMF location, location of the implants and type of implant. Patients heal at different rates and each breast will sometimes heal at a different rate. Rest, relax, recover and heal. Express your concerns to your surgeon so he/she can examine you at this time. Then reassess final result at 6 months. The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam. Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative breast surgery. Best of luck!

Answer: 6 days post-op breast augmentation & I hate them, they are WAY too big for me? - 5"1, 105 lbs (Photos) Just remember that you are very early in your healing process and it can take a good 4-6 months for you to see your final shape. As the swelling resolves, your breasts will soften and the implants will settle. They will appear more natural so just give your body adequate time to heal. Good luck!

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.
