Thank you for your question. It can take upwards of 12 weeks to see the final size once your implants begin to settle and drop into place inside the pocket. It can be difficult to determine cup size because every patient's measurements are different and they way your body hold the implant will determine your final outcome. Follow up with your board certified plastic surgeon to address any questions or concerns. Good luck!
ReportThe Sientra OPUS breast implant is in my mind the best implant available on the market. The new 20 year $5000 rupture warranty (effective 5/1/2018) is the best available from any manufacturer. Some patients prefer a round look with more cleavage, other women prefer a softer upper breast. I have found that CRISALIX 3-D imaging gives our patients a virtual reality preview of their appearance with the implant brand shape and style/size they choose. Most of my patients tell me that their result was even better than what the CRISALIX image suggested it would be. It takes up to 6 weeks to reach the 90% point after implant placement for swelling to diminish and the breast to round out and assume their long term shape. So I recommend my patients wait till then to get sized at Victoria's Secret. Keep in mind that bra cup size is not standardized by the manufacturers. VS bras tend to run smaller- so their "C cup" is like a Walmart "B cup". Not sure why they do it that way but I believe it's because VS wants smaller breasted women to feel better about themselves...who knows?! Anyhow, I never guarantee a cup size with a certain volume implant, but I do guarantee that whatever size implant a breast augmentation patient and I agree upon using is the implant I will place. What cup size results from the implant shape and volume you have chosen is not very well determinable in advance!Hope you love your results!
