I had 300cc unders 4 weeks ago I'm 135lbs 5'9 and wanted a conservative natural looking breast augmentation. My surgeon suggested a 300cc moderate profile saline implant to take me from a b cup to a c cup, we talked about me wishing to be a small c. I'm currently a 32d with most bra manufactures and 32dd with victorias secret that I know size bigger. My implants still have a lot of settling to do, but will they get smaller or appear smaller when they drop?
Answer: Breast Augmentation Hi,Overall I hope you like the "new you." Yes things will soften, drop and change in shape over time. Most of all, swelling will resolve and volume will decrease. One study with MRI's of the breasts showed these changes occur up to 6 months. Great answer below.....avoid focusing too much on cup sizes, as this can be upsetting. All the best, Dr. Joe

Answer: Patience is a virtue in breast augmentation surgery The post-op swelling is concealing the "final" result of your breast augmentation, so I suggest that you wait a couple of months for all the residual symptoms to disappear. It seems that your 300 cc implant is a good choice based on your conservative size goals. In fact, anecdotal reports show that many women today opt for smaller implants between 300 and 350 cc because they provide a very natural result rather than a heavy top look.I suggest that you stop focusing on the bra cup size, which is downright inaccurate because each bra manufacturer has their own "definition." Take note that the most important thing is the overall appearance of your breast, including its profile or projection, shape, nipple-areola complex, etc.

Answer: Will implants get smaller as they settle? I'm sorry to hear about the concerns you have after breast augmentation surgery. You should be aware 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 early on, ultimately are pleased with the results of surgery in the longer term.

Answer: Will implants get smaller as they settle? At four weeks post op, MOST of your swelling should be gone. They will not become smaller when they settle and they will not appear smaller. They will obviously not appear as high on your chest. The superior pole fullness will decrease and the bottom of the breast will fill out more.

Answer: Size of implants Your implants will not shrink in size, but tissue swelling from the trauma of surgery will gradually go away. Plus your tissues will adjust and let the implants settle over time. As the implant drops into place, your breast will look fuller, and your upper chest less full and tight. Please discuss any concerns you have with your plastic surgeon.
