I'm 5'2, 105lbs, bmi 18.8, band measurement 27, breast fed 3 children. Previous cup size A wishing for a small D. Now I'm 3 wks post breast augmentation of 425cc high profile saline placed via TUBA. My breast look nice with great placement and are dropping nicely but im afraid I went with to small of an implant. When I measure my chest now I'm at 35inches. Will this measurement change? Will this give me a d or will I be a c cup?
Answer: Do breasts look the same after dropping? Two things happen and seem paradoxical. As as the swelling goes down there will be some shrinkage but at the same time as the muscle relaxes your breast projection grows. In general the breast shape and size proportionality improves..Breast implants initially after surgery when placed in a submuscular position often give superior fullness that corrects itself with time, the "fluff and drop" phenomena. In reality the pectoralis major muscle takes a while to adjust its size to accommodate the implant as well as occasional muscle spasm which keeps the implant projection higher than its final resting shape. Additional variables include:laxity of skin, size difference during prior pregnancies, position of implant,size of muscle, and size of implant.As the muscle relaxes the projection of the implant often increases and the breast shape improves. Massage and use of a superior placed elastic strap can often make this process go faster.

Answer: Drop and fluff after breast augmentation Thank you for your question.. Drop and fluff refers to post-operative period in which the breasts begin to descend and fills out the lower half of the breast. It may take several months for this to happen and can be encouraged with breast massage and compression. It may appear that the breast enlarges as the lower aspect of the breast fills out (at the expense of the upper portion of the breast). I generally recommend that you wait until your breasts settle out as this can affect your bra size and style choices.

Answer: Will my bra size increase after my breast "drop and fluff"? The phenomenon of “dropping and fluffing” occurs several weeks to several months after breast augmentation surgery. The breasts MAY appear larger as the implants "settle" lower on the chest wall. The nipple/areola complexes may also appear higher on the breast mounds as this occurs. Best wishes.

Answer: Don't rely on cup size I never use cup size as a gauge for breast size because there's no standardization at all. A C cup by one bra manufacturer can very well be a D cup by another manufacturer. Instead, look at your reflection in the mirror - do you like how you look? If you do, then your surgery was a success!

Answer: Size changes after breast augmentation It really depends. I find that if you're breast tissue was loose and lax before the surgery, you may not see a lot of a change in volume. However, if you're chest was really tight, I sometimes see that as the breasts soften and settle, there is a volume re-distribution that occurs from the top of the implant to the bottom, and this can round out the bottom half of the breast giving it a larger appearance. Hope this was helpful.
