I had my BA about a week ago and I absolutely love my new boobs! They are a perfect size for me, I am currently measuring at a 34D. I have read so many blogs about how it takes a while to drop and fluff which can add a cup size and then again I have heard that you can lose some :( I wouldn't mind gaining more, but would hate to go down some. I started out with a small B,and got 375ccs high profile under the muscle. The swelling seems to be gone. What are the chances on loosing a cup size?
Answer: Post op Two things happen and seem paradoxical. As as the swelling goes down there will be some shrinkage but at the same time as the muscle relaxes your breast projection grows. In general the breast shape and size proportionality improves..Breast implants initially after surgery when placed in a submuscular position often give superior fullness that corrects itself with time, the "fluff and drop" phenomena. In reality the pectoralis major muscle takes a while to adjust its size to accommodate the implant as well as occasional muscle spasm which keeps the implant projection higher than its final resting shape. Additional variables include:laxity of skin, size difference during prior pregnancies, position of implant,size of muscle, and size of implant.As the muscle relaxes the projection of the implant often increases and the breast shape improves. Massage and use of a superior placed elastic strap can often make this process go faster.

Answer: Drop and fluff after breast augmentation Thank you for your question. Drop and fluff refers to post-operative period in which the breasts begin to descend and fills out the lower half of the breast. It may take several months for this to happen and can be encouraged with breast massage and compression. It may appear that the breast enlarges as the lower aspect of the breast fills out (at the expense of the upper portion of the breast). The size of the breasts don't change much during this process, but you will feel more fullness on the bottom of the breasts and this may affect your bra choices.

Answer: Final size after breast augmentation
You will not see your final breast augmentation size until the swelling comes down and the implants settle into place. I would not expect that you would lose a full cup size. I would not spend a ton of money on bras until you are 6 weeks post op however. Good luck.

Answer: Loosing volume after breast augmentation
Postop swelling still needs to resolve if you are one week out from surgery. You may still see some volume loss but you wont loose a whole cup size. The shape of the breast may also change as the skin envelope stretches to fit the high profile implant, but this will involve more projection.

Answer: Breast Size Change after Breast Implants "Dropped”?
Congratulations on having undergone the breast augmentation procedure; it is nice to hear that you are pleased with the early results after surgery.
Although I cannot provide you with precise advice, I can tell you that patients generally do not "lose a cup size" as the healing process continues. In my practice, I find that as breast implants “settle” (drop and fluff), over the course of the first few months, patients feel that their breasts appear larger.
Best wishes; hopefully, you will continue to be very pleased with the outcome of the procedure performed, regardless of specific cup sizes achieved in the longer term.
