I just had my BA 4 days ago. I LOVE my size and that worries me because I am afraid I may have went too small. I was around a 32B and I got saline implants, 300cc overfilled to 325cc. I'm really wishing I would have done 325cc filled to 350cc! Will my breasts "fill out" after they settle!? Some reassurance please :) Either way I'm very happy with my breast aug.
Answer: Will my breasts shrink after swelling goes down? Congratulations on having undergone the breast augmentation surgery. Many of my patients report that as the swelling around the breast implants (for example, in the sternal area) decreases, they feel that their breasts appear more projecting. Also, in my opinion, the "drop and fluff” phenomenon does hold some validity; as breast implants “settle”, many patients feel that their breasts actually look larger. 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. Best wishes for an outcome that you will continue to be pleased with long term.

Answer: Breast implants 4 days ago, will there be significnant shrinkage? This swelling may persist for a few weeks. Your implants probably seem "high" to you as well. This is normal as people usually look great on the table, and when they wake up the implants rise up toward the collar bone. They will usually start to move downward at about three weeks. It may take 6 to 12 months for some implants to settle into final position. Also, don't drive yourself crazy over 25cc. Best to wait and see what your result is and then go from there. Please let your board certified plastic surgeon know your concerns.

Answer: Size concerns immediately post op 4 days post op is too early to have concerns about your results, especially implant volume. The appearance, size and projection will change over the course of the next few months, usually for the better. 25 cc's is not a significant amount of volume to be concerned about. In fact, with saline implants, that amount can usually be added to your existing prostheses. For the moment, heal and recover. Give it at least 3 to 4 months before you begin contemplating any type of revision. Patience please !!!

Answer: Implant volume A 25 cc implant volume difference is not too much. Give it time to heal and see how you feel in a few months.

Answer: Size changes after breast augmentation There are a lot of factors that determine how much your size changes in time after an augmentation. It is important, if you can, to realize that today's results will be drastically different than your long term results, and that most people settle into a better result in time than they get immediately. Meaning things are likely to get better.I'd urge you not to get too bent out of shape with the size, especially right now, for two reasons.1. There is very little difference between 325 and 350 cc's. Put into perspective, that 25cc's is about 1/15th of a can of pop. It's just not likely to make a significant long term difference.2. Women with breast implants often go through different phases with their implants. Many, initially, wish they would have gone a bit larger. In time, and as the novelty of new implants wears off, it is not uncommon for that desire to fade away. When, 5 years from now, your implants are just a part of your life and not something new, your bigger concern may be in finding an appropriately supportive bra to go running in. Things change. You selected a very common implant volume. Might be best to just sit back, be patient, and allow things to evolve.Best,Dr. Pyle
