Implants are bigger than expected!

I would strongly suggest that you hold any opinions about your size until at least 6 weeks post operatively. Today and tomorrow are your worst days for swelling. Worrying will not speed up mother nature. Trust your plastic surgeon. You did not have very large implants at 335 cc.

I'm sorry to hear about the concerns you are experiencing after breast surgery. Given that you are very fresh out of surgery, it is quite likely that you are experiencing significant “emotional ups and downs” unnecessarily. You should be aware that a significant percentage of patients at your stage of recovery will feel that they are too big or (more commonly) too small. I routinely ask my patients to wait at least 3-6 months before evaluating the end results of the breast augmentation surgery. This waiting time allows patients to (usually) physically and psychologically adapt to the new body image. 





In other words, it is much too early to evaluate the outcome of the procedure performed; your breasts will undoubtedly change over the course of the next several weeks/months. 







 



Although online consultants cannot predict whether or not you will be pleased with the long-term outlook, of the procedure performed, it is safe to predict that the breasts will change. Do your best to stay emotionally even keeled. I would suggest continued patience and continued close follow-up with your plastic surgeon.



Best wishes for an outcome that you will be pleased with longer-term.

Dear lordow, You are only 1 day post op, don't worry about how they look right now.  You are swollen and they always look too perky and "fake" this close to surgery. As the swelling decreases you will notice them dropping and they should appear to look much more natural. It usually takes patients about a month for the implant to feel less alien and more like their own. Be patient. If you are still concerned when you are 6 months to a year out, then you can start to think about a revision. Good luck!
