I'm 25 , skinny girl , 110 lbs 5'5. Wanting a full C! So my consultation was the same day as my surgery being that it was done in Thailand and having limited time out of the country. I had to choose between 340cc small and then 400 cc. There was nothing in between !! Will 340cc make much a difference? Will it be a C cup?.. The bandages are still on me and very tight .I went with 340cc under the muscle, incision through the armpit. Will they expand at least? Overtime?

Answer: I am worried 340cc is too small! I am 34b (or A) pre-op and wanted a full C! Congratulations on having undergone the breast augmentation procedure. Generally speaking, breast implants will "drop" into the pocket that was created during surgery and massaging the implants downward may assist in the dropping of the implants after surgery (for those patients who want to help with the settling of the implants). The rate of breast implant "settling" may depend on factors such as size of breast implant pocket dissected, tightness of the overlying skin/muscle layers, and size of breast implant utilized. Normally, it takes about 3-6 months (for some patients longer) to see the final result. It is very common for one side to settle faster than the other.Online consultants will not be able to predict, with any reliability/accuracy, what cup size you will end up wearing. You will need to go bra shopping/fitting; in my practice, I ask patients to wait 3 to 6 months before doing so. Don't be surprised, at that time, if you end up different wearing different bra cup sizes, depending on who makes the bra. Generally speaking, I ask my patients not to communicate their goals and/or evaluate the outcome of breast surgery in terms of achieving a specific cup size ( given the variability in the measurement of cup sizes…). Best wishes for an outcome that you will be very pleased with, regardless of the specific cup size achieved.
