What will my breasts look like after Breast Augmentation?:

Although the final shape of your breasts will ultimately be based on the existing shape of your breasts before surgery, shortly post-op you will have a significant amount of swelling and possibly some distortion . Early on, implants placed via the trans-axillary route will appear to be quite full at the upper pole of the breasts, and this will gradually resolve over the first few weeks, to several months.
