I am sorry to hear that you are disappointed in your size. I would encourage you to speak with your surgeon. Your breasts will change as they drop, but whether or not that will resolve your issues is impossible to say without seeing you in person. Best, Dr. Nazarian

Tom J. Pousti, MD · Answer

Congratulations on having undergone the breast augmentation procedure.  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. It may take this period of time for the breast to soften and for the breast implants to settle ("drop and fluff").

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 brought about. Severe emotional swings can also occur after any type of surgical procedure.
In your case, I would suggest continued patience and continued close follow-up with your plastic surgeon.
Best wishes.

You won't see your final results from breast augmentation for a few MONTHS.Therefore, please don't make any judgments about your size or shape yet!With time your implants will settle into place and your breast shape will change considerably!Be patient, and with time you'll likely be very happy with your results.

Hello Thank you for your question. When did you have your surgery? It sounds like you are in the beginning stages of your recovery. Try to be patient and allow your breast implants to settle; typically its within 3-6 months. In the preliminary stages of recovery everything is stretching an expanding. It s too early to assess your size. Best regards

Michael M. Omidi, MD, FACS · Answer

Thank
you for the question.  You are still in
the post operation recovery stage.  It usually takes about 8-12
weeks for the wounds to heal and around 4-6 months for the implants to fully
settle. Best to give it time before judging the final result although it would most probably not get any bigger.  It would always be best to visit
your board-certified plastic surgeon and get a full assessment for your
concerns.  Best of luck. Dr. Michael
Omidi.

An
in-person exam with a board-certified plastic surgeon is the best way to assess
your needs and provide true medical advice.
