When your breast drop and fluff do your breast get bigger ?

Hi Mallory,To answer your question directly, no.  Initially implants sit higher on the chest wall and there is significant swelling.  With time first the swelling decreases then the implants slowly settle into a lower desired position on the chest wall.  This combination creates the illusion that your breasts are larger, when in fact it's the same volume but due to the change in positioning the projection is increased and gives the appearance of larger breasts.  This process can occur over 3-6 months so requires a little bit of patience in order to see your final result. Best of Luck!Dr. Rednam

In the first several weeks after surgery, swelling decreases and the breast volume decreases. After swelling goes away the implants are still high on the chest and the implants do not completely sit in the cup of your bra. As the implants fall into their final position more and more of the implant is positioned within the cup of your bra and this might give the perception of increased size. Also, as implants fall they look slightly larger in the mirror, although this is an optical illusion. Hope that helps!

Congratulations on having undergone the breast augmentation procedure.  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. Although online consultants cannot predict whether or not you will be pleased with the long-term outlook, of the procedure performed, it is safe to predict that the breasts will change. Do your best to stay emotionally even keeled. Best wishes for an outcome that you will be pleased with longer-term.
