I know y’all get this question all the time but I’m getting worried I didn’t get my implants big enough. I was a deflated 34b before the surgery. I got 480L and 490R saline under the muscle. I feel like I might have went up a cup size but that’s it. I’m 5’9 150lbs medium build. Do you think because of my height and weight, they’re going to look smaller. I felt like that many cc’s was a pretty significant amount.

Answer: Breasts need time to drop and fluff Your beasts are being pressed flat, a fact which makes them look smaller than they are. At 5 days you are about 3 percent settled, shaped, softened, dropped and fluffed. "Drop and fluff" refers to the fact that as the skin stretches and the muscles relax, the implants move down and out slowly – about 1 percent a day. It’ll be about six weeks before they even begin to settle down, but they’ll be close to 80 percent settled and softened at three months. Watching their progress is like watching your hair grow. You don’t see a difference in your hair growth daily, but all of a sudden you need a haircut.

Answer: 5 days postop and my breasts look smaller than expected. Should I be worried? Thank you for sharing your question, and I am sorry that your current appearance has caused you concern. After placement of implants the appearance of your breasts will change dramatically over the next several months, as the implants drop, and the overlying tissue stretches to accommodate their extra volume. The swelling from surgery is currently flattening your implants and holding them high on your chest. As this swelling resolves, the volume within the implant will redistribute towards the lower portion of your breast achieving a more natural appearance, and filling your bra cup more. I know waiting is difficult, but judge your results at 4-6 months after surgery as most of your breast changes should have occurred by then. Hope this helps.
