A lot. I know that's not the answer you're looking for but you had a lot done and all those procedures create swelling. If you're under the muscle, then the pectoralis has to swell then stretch out. So many changes to come. Good luck and try and be as patient as possible! Sometimes taking pictures can help you objectively see the changes and feels reassuring.

At 1 week, you are still very early in the healing process. The main concerns at this point are ensuring healing and avoiding major medical complications (not aesthetic issues).

I encourage patients to allow for 3-6 months before passing judgments as much will change from now until then. There is likely a good deal of swelling and bruising that needs to resolves as well as soft tissue stretch. Asymmetries are very common in the early stages, however, they often improve.

It is difficult to say for certain "how much" will change, but you can be assured things will change.

As always, discuss your concerns with a board-certified plastic surgeon (ABPS).

It is likely your breasts will change over the next 3 months. If your implants are placed above muscle, the size/shape won't change as much as they will if they are placed under the muscle. You most likely still have some swelling as well.

They will continue to improved and shape out. Be sure to see your doctor / surgeon for good follow-up appointments.

Thank you for your question. Your breasts can actually change quite a bit over the next few weeks/months, depending on varying factors such as the size of the implants, the technique involved, insertion placement, etc. Your breast skin envelope will also grow to accommodate the 300 cc's you have in, making the overall appearance different than when you first had your procedure. It is best to give it time to heal and not focus on the end result just yet.

The breast size after augmentation continues to decrease over about a year. You can expect to lose anywhere from a half to one cup size during that time.
