I am 9 days Post Op. I am 5ft 7in 150-153lbs, I have Natrelle Silicone 420cc MF left and 400cc MM right. I was a 34A before BA, why do I look so small and when my implants drop and soften will my breast appear bigger
Answer: Is my size too small? Natrelle silicone 420cc and 400cc. 5'7", 153LBS Thank you for the question.I'm sorry to hear about the concerns you have after your procedure.You should be aware that a significant percentage of patients at your stage of recovery will feel that they are "too small".I have found, that with time, as breast implants “settle” (drop and fluff) that the resulting breast size/shape seem larger. You may be able to see this for yourself if you stand in front of a full-length mirror and “pull up on the breast skin and down on the breast implant"; as the breast implant moves into the lower part of the pocket and the nipple/areola move up, the breast may appear to be larger in appearance.I would suggest you wait at least 3 to 6 additional months before you make any decisions regarding the results of your breast augmentation surgery. This waiting time will allow you to (potentially) physically and psychologically adapt to the new body image. If at that point, you are convinced that the breast implants are too small ( assuming the breast implant pockets are otherwise doing well), revisionary surgery is a relatively painless procedure.In the meantime, continue to follow-up with your plastic surgeon to discuss your questions and concerns.Best wishes.

Answer: Too Small? Thank you for your picture. Unfortunately, your implants won't get bigger with time because the swelling will decrease they may actually may be a bit smaller. If at three months, you decide that your implants need to be larger discussed this with the plastic surgeon and see if you can schedule an implant exchange.

Answer: Breast augmentation result It's too soon to see your final result due to swelling. In my personal experience I think that your surgeon did a great job, but you have to wait until you have at least 3 months to see your final result. I think that the implants are the right size for your built. Be patient.

Answer: Is my size too small? Natrelle silicone 420cc and 400cc. 5'7", 153LBS Appears as natural early result. You chose that size!! A larger size might have been a better option like 500 cc. Remember the #1 complaints is, "I wish I would have gone bigger!"
