I am 7 days po and I was a small b, I got 397cc mod plus and 450cc hp in one side. I was hoping for a DD they look so much smaller than expected. Will they appear larger when they drop down or will they seem smaller.
Answer: Will your breasts appear larger as your implants settle? Your breasts have to go through the "drop and fluff" which can take up to 6 weeks following the surgery. I would suggest being patient in the early post-op period. Typically, 100-150cc will add a cup size so you should be close to a D-DD. However, keep in mind that all bras and styles are different. Best of luck!

Answer: Will 400cc bring me to a DD? I appreciate your question. Right now, you are very early on in the post op recovery period. It will take 3-6 months for you to feel comfortable having implants in your body and for them to settle. This time allows for you to physically and psychologically adapt to your new body image. There are many variables that contribute to a breast augmentation's final result. Preop size and shape, IMF location, location of the implants and type of implant. Patients heal at different rates and each breast will sometimes heal at a different rate. You will not lose any volume but the way your implant sits on your chest wall will change, and can result in different ‘fills’ to your bra. Rest, relax, recover and heal. Express your concerns to your surgeon so he/she can examine you. Then reassess final result at 6 months. 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!Dr. Schwartz

Answer: Too early to see final results You are way too early to see your final results. You are currently swollen (so your breasts will lose some volume) and they will settle over time which will make them look different and better. At this stage there is nothing you can do but wait, follow your surgeon's post-surgical instructions and let's see what you look like at 3 months

Answer: Will 400cc bring me to a DD? 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…). Best wishes for an outcome that you will be very pleased with, regardless of the specific cup size achieved.

Answer: DD result? Hello, generally right after surgery there is significant swelling that will gradually resolve, so the actual size might decrease slightly. However, the shape will change so the perceived breast volume could also be different after several months. It will usually take several months to get a sense of your final breast size.
