My pre op chest width is 13 and I had mentor round high profile implants. I read that I should have waited for 3-6 months for the end result, right now my breast is swollen and I feel it's smaller than expected, so when the swelling has decreased in 3-6 months, then I think my breast will look smaller than now. Please help! I am confused.

Answer: Breast Implants Feel Too Small at 1 Week Post-Op #breastaugmentation You might be surprised how much your breast shape will change over the next couple months. I would try to be patient because you may end up being very happy with your implant size. Without looking at photos, I can't say for sure, but often times at one week after breast augmentation implants are still riding high.With time the implants will settle into place, the lower pole of your breasts will fill out more, and you may be very happy. Hang in there, and definitely discuss your concerns with your plastic surgeon!

Answer: Breast Implants/Breast Augmentation/Anatomic Gummy Bear Implants/ Silicone Implants/Breast Implant Revision Surgery 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. Rest, relax, recover and heal. Please Express your concerns to your surgeon so he/she can examine you at this time. 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!
