Why Do 550cc Implants Look Like Only C Cup? (photo)

breast size and implants

see my previous posts

your skin and muscle need to stretch and relax   your final result will take 2-3 months.  i believe the implant size is a good choice

It is very early after surgery, and the implants will soften and drop.  550 cc is very large and I know your surgeon was being aggressive to achieve your size request.

Thank you for your questions and photos.  You are still in the very early post operative phase and your results are not finalized.  It appears from the photos that you have a nice result, but you will have some additional changes over the next few weeks to months.  With such a large implant and a small starting cup size, the skin and muscle are going to stretch and relax a bit more.  Your skin is not used to being stretched out to it's current extent.  It will continue to relax which will give you a fuller shape.  

It is impossible to guarantee a cup size, but you are going to be very close and will look great.  

Best Wishes.

It takes a few mponths for your new breast implants to settle. During this time, the shape and size may change. you need to be patient during this process. I suspect that a 550cc implant will increase you about 2 1/2 cup sizes.

Hello. At three days you are nowhere near your final result and with about three months time you will start to see your true outcome. That being said I would not be too worried about your outcome until then. Many patients feel that they are larger after the breasts implants drop.

550 cc is a large implant size, and demonstrates that your surgeon understood your goals/objectives, and attempted to fulfill them. As you said, he did a good job and you will need to heal which generally takes 6 months. After you heal, your surgeon and you can sit down to assess if the implants meet your needs/objectives.As you probably know, cup size is an inexact measurement as it varies significantly among bra companies and event within the same company.

 

 

 

Too soon to tell, But how were you sized in the first place?  Remember that cup sizes vary with different manufacturers.  There is no industry standardization the bras. You look marvelous!

 

 

 

Why do you think after 3 days this is your final appearance? It takes 3 months to see the final result! Be patient before complaining about a 550 cc size. 

A 550 cc implant is pretry large. You have to give it a few months to settle and then re-evaluate for a bra.

We can tell from your photos that the skin envelope is 'challenged' and compressing and holding the implant back. You would have been off to a different start with a smaller implant and now you will have to wait things out as the skin envelope relaxes to accomodate the implant. The projection and shape should improve, but a D may not be an easy look to achieve.
