Hello, I’m 19 and I had breast augmentation two weeks ago and my breasts are still so small. I was a very small A and I chose 400 cc of the memory gel implant for my surgery. I have looked at before and after pics os women who went from an A and had around 375-400 cc range of the memory gel implant also known as the gummy bear implant and I look nothing like the pictures. I spent 5k for a pair of boobs and I still don’t have a nice pair. I’m very disappointed in the outcome. Could someone please tell me if the implant will become larger after awhile and will my breast will have a larger and fuller appereance. My plastic surgeon and his assistant said it takes a while for the breast to full and to become unswollen, but I do not feel good about this at all. Please if you hade breast augmentation and you felt as though your breasts were not big and you were disappointed at first, but as time went on they totally changed please tell me.
Hi Sweetie,
I’m sorry to hear that you’re feeling disappointed after your breast augmentation.
Keep in mind that it’s normal to feel that way right after surgery; you’re still in recovery mode right now, and your boobs are still healing and not "set" yet. A LOT of breast augmentation patients feel upset right after surgery because it can be an emotional roller coaster ride..
For many women, it could take up to three or even six months for their breast augmentation to "settle" into their final size. It personally took mine two months to settle into their final look.
Right now, your chest muscles are all tight like a fist because of your surgery and they’re riding up higher on your chest. Your boobs aren’t going to look this way permanently. As the boobs heal, your muscles will relax, and women often see an increase in size as the muscle relaxes and "releases" the implant that is clenched into your chest right now. The boobs drop a bit into a more natural shape and position on your chest, and they become softer.
The size increase isn’t gigantic, but it could be enough to change cup sizes. I have a girl friend who got a full cup size increase after three months!
So my advice is to relax, follow all of your recovery instructions exactly, and let your boobs do their thing. Stress isn’t good for our bodies in general, but especially when we’re trying to heal. So try to relax. You could very well end up loving them in three months when they’re all settled!
