How much will the breast shrink after getting implants?

March 1, 2014
Asked By:HazelSkye

I am due to have my BA on March 19 and I am still unsure about size. I am a petite woman, 5'0, about 105lbs. I am a small A looking to go to a small C. I'm afraid that because I am so hesitant about being "too big" I will end up getting implants that are small, and then once I am healed the size will look even smaller. I know it may be hard to distinguish but would 275cc make me about a C cup? And how much will I shrink once fully healed?
