I had breast implants put in a week ago they are 400hp silicone gel. I was trying to go from a 34A to a 34C cup (under the muscle). I am only 5'7" 115pounds. I look huge and I am severely depressed. I want them out! What should I do...i can't stand how they look.

Answer: Too early It is too early to evaluate the outcome. You have swelling and are just getting used to the new volume. Give it 6 months. Most people that have concerns about size early after surgery are happy at 6 months.

Answer: Wait Until They Settle When implants are first inserted, they sit high up because your tissues are tight and gravity hasn't taken effect. Over time, natural tissue expansion occurs to allow the implants to fall into place. By this time, your breasts will have taken on a more natural contour, where the lower breasts become softer and rounder. Please wait at least four months for this to happen.This process tends to occur sooner in one breast than the other, so don't be alarmed if you find that your left drops before the right or vice versa.

Answer: It's Hard To Make Judgements About Breast Size Immediately Following Surgery Because You Are Still Healing
We frequently see patients who express concern about the size of their breast implants following breast augmentation surgery. In some cases, this occurs in the immediate postoperative period. The majority of these patients are concerned that their breasts are too big rather then too small. As swelling subsides, most of them are ultimately happy with their breast size.
Immediately after surgery it’s hard to make judgments about breast size because of swelling and muscle spasm. It may take weeks for the majority of swelling to resolve. In addition, muscle spasm can increase upper breast fullness and make the breasts look larger than they really are. This may also take weeks to resolve.
Many patients also experience transient adjustment reactions following breast augmentation. These patients have difficulty adjusting to larger breasts and often feel as if people are staring at them. With the passage of time, most of them are able to adjust to their new implants. Eventually, they may even forget that the implants are there. The adjustment process varies from patient to patient, but may take months.
Immediately following surgery, it’s not unusual to see patients who feel that their breasts are too large. After several months they adjust to their new implants. They feel that their new breasts fit nicely on their body and they are happy with their results. Occasionally, some of these patients will request even larger implants.
If you have concerns about breast size following breast augmentation surgery, you should communicate with your plastic surgeon. He has dealt with this situation in other patients and can address many of your concerns. With time, many of these concerns may resolve without intervention. Ultimately, you may still be very happy with your breast augmentation.
