I am sacred my breasts will be smaller than I wanted . I just had the surgery yesterday . Was 32A and went 310cc on both sides. I wanted 330 but they said it would be too big . No photos yet
Answer: Early post op, some advices: Thanks for the question. In my practice, after performing a BA I recommend to my patients to limit the movement of the arms for two weeks. After that, you can move your arms taking care and always with common sense. In this regard, it's not advisable to carry heavy weights to prevent the implant out of position, and allow the formation of the physiological capsule around the implant, also to avoid pain and breast swelling.Kind regards,Dr. Emmanuel Mallol.-

Answer: Breast Augmentation/ Breast Fat Transfer/ Breast Implants/ Anatomic Gummy Bear Implants/Silicone Implants I appreciate your question. It depends on your chest wall measurements and existing breast tissue as implant size does not accurately correlate to a bra size. It also depends on the brand and style of bra you wear as size varies from manufacturer to manufacturer. The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam. Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative breast surgery. Best of luck!

Answer: What cup size would I range from with 310cc implants? Thank you for sharing your question and photograph. Unfortunately it is difficult to say what cup size you ultimately will be based solely on your implant size. Your breasts will undergo significant changes as swelling resolves and volume redistributes into the lower border of each breast. This will affect how your breasts will fit into various bras and what cup size you will be. The best thing to do is to allow your results to mature over the next six months and then fit a supportive bra to your new breasts and implants. Hope this helps.

Answer: Relax. It is far too early to draw any conclusions about your final outcome and hopefully you and your plastic surgeon thoroughly reviewed your options preoperatively. Trust your surgeon and his or her judgment and hopefully you will be pleased with your final result, which is generally the case in 95% of women who undergo this operation, based on published statistics. The other reason to relax is that worrying will accomplish nothing productive or useful. If you end up feeling smaller than you would have liked, you will have two options. Continue to wear padded bras as you probably did before surgery and learn to like the new you, or consider revision surgery, which is the only way to truly change your final nude appearance. I would discourage you from considering option B prematurely, and I recommend you discuss your concerns with your plastic surgeon. Best of luck.

Answer: Too small after breast augmentation? Congratulations on having undergone the breast augmentation procedure. Online consultants will not be able to predict, with any reliability/accuracy, what cup size you will end up wearing. You will need to go bra shopping/fitting; in my practice, I ask patients to wait 3 to 6 months before doing so. Don't be surprised, at that time, if you end up different wearing different bra cup sizes, depending on who makes the bra. Generally speaking, I ask my patients not to communicate their goals and/or evaluate the outcome of breast surgery in terms of achieving a specific cup size ( given the variability in the measurement of cup sizes…). You should be aware that a significant percentage of patients at the early stages of recovery will feel that they are too big or (more commonly) too small. 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. In other words, it may be too early to evaluate the outcome of the procedure performed; your breasts will undoubtedly change over the course of the next several weeks/months. For example, many of my patients report that as the swelling around the breast implants (for example, in the sternal area) decreases, they feel that their breasts appear more projecting. Also, in my opinion, the "drop and fluff” phenomenon does hold some validity; as breast implants “settle”, many patients feel that their breasts actually look larger. Best wishes for an outcome that you will be very pleased with, regardless of the specific cup size achieved.
