Within two to three weeks.

No — they will be the same size as the implants placed during surgery.

Immediately after surgery, everything's a little bit more elevated. The breast is swollen, the pectoralis major muscle is swollen. Within two to three weeks, the swelling is resolved. The same implants there that was placed during surgery. So your breasts really are the same size, but the kind of elevated position is gone. The swelling is resolved. So really, the answer is no. Your breasts aren't going to be smaller. They'll be the. The size we made them during surgery.
