I recently had a BA and hate how large my implants are. Is it too risky to replace them at 6 weeks?

Question

My doctor agreed to remove and replace my implants with smaller ones at 6 weeks. I’m so unhappy with how big the 365 CC turned out. I’m 4 week post augmentation now.

Dear Magical949279,
I understand your concern and it is quite normal to be concerned about the outcome following a breast augmentation surgery. However, you are still in the very early stages of the healing process at 4 weeks post op.You will need to be patient at this moment and follow what your surgeon has instructed you to do post operatively.At the early stage of the healing process, the tissues around the implants are still swollen. Once the swelling subsides and the implants drop to their final position, you will be able to see the final result of your breast augmentation surgery.

Waiting until 6 months is ideal, but exchanging them at 6 weeks can be done. Doing it early will be less stretching on your tissue.
