20 year old, teardrop silicone breast implants sub muscular 32A now B cup. Panicking that they don't suit my body? (Photo)

Question

My areola was also too large therefore reduced in size. Im slightly concerned about how my breasts now look. I feel they are too wide for my body and chest ( I'm 5ft, 43kg) ive started to massage them and wondering how long it takes to actually fall in place and if they will go any smaller? my doctor he said the size wouldn't change which has made me panic? I was hoping for them to reduce atleast one size. not sure if i rushed into having this surgery as I'm finding myself panic over the results

There is absolutely no reason for you to panic.  You are too early after surgery to see the final results, and so far it looks like you are going to get a very nice result

Nelson Castillo, MD · Answer

Thank you for your photographs and questions, and I am sorry to hear about your concerns after breast augmentation surgery.  It is very common to have mixed emotions about your results immediately after surgery, and your doctor can help provide you with further reassurance.  Though it is true your breasts will not dramatically change in size (once any swelling has resolved), they will change in their contour and appearance. As your chest muscles relax, your implants will drop, causing the lower part of your breast to stretch and accommodate the new implants, leading to a more rounded, natural shape.  This takes place somewhere between 4 and 6 weeks after surgery, so I know it is difficult, but hang in there and give yourself a few months time before judging your results.

Thank you for your question and photos.  How long has it been since your operation?  If you still have your dressings on, it has not been long enough to assess a final result.  As more time passes, your swelling should reduce and your breasts should drop into place.  Be sure to follow the instructions of your surgeon moving forward to ensure the ensure optimal post-op care.All the best,Dr. ResultsMiami, FL

Connie Hiers, MD, FACS · Answer

You are still very early in your healing phase and need to give yourself time to adjust to your new look, and let the swelling subside, the tissue relax, and the implants settle into place. Please don't panic, but follow all your instructions, keep your follow up visits, and discuss all your concerns with your surgeon.

Raj S. Ambay, MD · Answer

Thank you for your questionand thank you for sharing photos. Photos showing that your surgery is recent. Generally breast implant will take 3 to  4 months to settle. you breast shape will keep changing till then. please follow up with your plastic surgeon. Best wishes,
