3 months post op, are my implants too large? (Photo)

Thanks for your question! It is unlikely they will look more natural. At 3 months, you have a pretty good idea of a final result. What may happen is your body will create new skin and things will continue to soften, but with a higher profile, you'll always have more projection. Good luck!

Although you may still have a little more change or "settling" in the coming months, they probably won't change too much. If you feel like they're too big, then it's not hard to change them for smaller implants. It does require surgery, but it may be better to do that than to live with a result that you are not happy with. Talk to your surgeon about your concerns. Best of luck!

Dear violetlolita,
I understand your concern and it is quite normal to be concerned about the outcome following a breast augmentation surgery. However, you are still in the healing process.You will need to be patient at this moment and follow what your surgeon has instructed you to do post operatively.At the early stage of the healing process, the tissues around the implants are still swollen. Once the swelling subsides and the implants drop to their final position, you will be able to see the final result of your breast augmentation surgery.

Thak you for your question. Breast implants can take 6 months to fully settle. At 3 months, however, most patients are close to their final result. You may see a little settling over time but probably nothing significant. I think you have a very nice result, with appropriate implant position and dimensions, but you do look a bit augmented. If you're feeling too large and projected then your only option will be to swap for a smaller, lower profile implant. It's a fairly easy surgery, but still requires a trip the the OR. Hope this helps!

Based on the submitted photos the implants do not appear too large for your frame, but it is a personal question that you must answer for yourself. The feel of the breasts will continue to soften somewhat with time, but you are essentially seeing your result. You could elect for smaller implants or a lower profile if you are concerned.

I looks like your plastic surgeon did a nice job with your augmentation. Given the size and high profile implant choice, I would anticipate your result. Of course, if you would like a more subtle look, you can downsize and change to a moderate profile implant. Not much will change at this point as 3 months is near maximally settled and healed. Thank you.
