Size changes after drop and fluff? - JustBreastImplants.com Forums - Breast Augmentation, Breast Implants, and Plastic Surgeons

Hi ladies! I'm 9 days post op and measuring 9" around each breast. They're still sitting a bit high of course and I'm wondering after they drop and fluff will the size change? I've heard that some people gain an inch around each breast after they drop and fluff.... What's your experience everyone? Thanks! --Laura

Good question ~

I wish mine were measurig 9" across. I too am wondering. After the implant drops down, do you get more across the nipple area?

Inquiring minds want to know.

I wasn't expecting much D&F cos I had subfascials rather than unders, but I've gained a cup size so far, and they seems to be still growing :S

This really is a toss a coin in the air question,With no certain answer.
Some women gain size,Some women loose Size and some stay exactly the same. I'm sorry but that is the answer,It can take months to a year or more to really know your true size liz x

I didn't measure mine around each boob right after surgery...they were more square than round anyway

So I can't help you with that....I will say that I was not happy with my size at first. About 4 weeks after the surgery I went to VS and I was still wearing the bras I had before the surgery and they still fit... they were not that old so I didn't figure they had stretched that much... The girl measured me and told me I was a 36 C (she measured over my clothes and that is what size bra I had on) I did go bra shopping last Sunday with a friend that also had a BA a little over a year ago and we went to target.... I bought 4 bras... a 36C 2-36D and one 34DD...I bought another bra last night at Walmart it was a 36D.

So, I know I have grown some since the surgery and even more since the VS bra fitting at the 4week mark.... I had a full anchor lift and implants placed under the muscle... I had somewhere in the 300 to 350 cc range (I cant remember exactly because my mom and I had the surgery the same day and every time we have gone for a check up we have gone together and we were both given close to but not the same amount of cc's.... mom actually got more but was smaller than me before the surgery. so we were give 4 different numbers of cc's and neither of us can remember.... I think that is called old timers disease...

It seems if you go under the muscle it takes longer to get to the final size because the muscle has to relax and let the implant settle. Some on here have said as long as a year.... I really hope I gain a little more size since I have had boobie greed since the beginning. It didn't help when DH helped me unwrap them after the 1st day so I could take a shower and commented I thought they would be bigger!! Of course I was a little suprised and disapointed too at not being bigger.

I don't know if this has helped any with your question.....

Shortly after surgery i was measuring around 8 1/4 inches around each breast, and now 8 months later i measure 9". You're already at 9", so you're doing pretty good!!

I did get less cc's though, but i think you would probably gain in size
