If you find yourself full of questions about your upcoming breast augmentation, you’re not alone. With so many different options, terms and sources of information out there, finding the best answers to your questions about breast implants can be a bit overwhelming. Here are three of the most frequently asked breast augmentation questions and their answers.
-
How Do I Choose the Right Size?
This is by far one of the most common questions that women ask prior to their breast enhancement procedure. The most important thing to keep in mind when it comes to choosing the right implant size is that the goal should be to highlight and enhance your natural proportions and balance. The same size that works for one person might not be the best choice for someone else, simply because everyone’s body is unique. Keep in mind that bigger isn’t always better.
Work with your cosmetic surgeon to help you decide what size will best meet your goals and accentuate your natural curves.

What Does “Drop and Fluff” Mean?
You may have come across the term “drop and fluff” in your research. This refers to the settling in of your breasts as your chest muscle begins to relax and your implants gradually reposition themselves to reveal your final results. During your recovery, you may notice that your breasts appear to be “riding high,” but know that this is only temporary and that they will settle in over time.

What Can I Expect During Recovery?
You should plan to limit strenuous activity and heavy lifting for the first week following your breast augmentation. During this time, simply rest, relax and let your body recover. Over the next several weeks, you can gradually reintroduce more strenuous activity into your routine, and you should begin to see your final results taking shape.
