1 Day PO, I Got 335cc High Profile Under the Muscle. They Are Huge and So Very High, Will They Go Down?

Hi Hayley. I hope that in the few days since your surgery, you’ve seen the swelling go down a little and had a chance to talk to your surgeon about your fears. It’s very normal for women to think their breasts look too high and round immediately after surgery. There is a lot of swelling at first, and it takes time for the muscles and tissues to stretch and for the implants to “settle.” That’s why I always tell my patients that their final results might not be visible for several months. Good luck!

Breast implants all stay high, swollen, firm, and malpositioned for a few weeks to a few months. Just relax and don't stress for the first several weeks. Have your PS reassure you as well.

Your swelling will decrease and they should "settle".  This whole process takes about 2 -3 months to occur.  

Best wishes

Post-op swelling can be significant for several days after breast augmentation. It is not uncommon for patients to be concerned about the early result, due to the sudden size change and additional volume from swelling. Implants can often look high at first, but the drop as the muscle stretches. You should discuss your concerns with your plastic surgeon. The only reason for immediate treatment would be if you had any bleeding around the implant. This usually only occurs on one side, but it would be best to check with your surgeon, especially if it is increasing or painful.

One day after surgery is far too early to judge size, shape, and projection.  What you describe is very common and I expect the swelling to go down soon and for the implants to settle into their final position over the next several weeks and months.  Relax and follow your surgeon's instructions.  Wishing you all the best.
