Answers to Frequently Asked Questions about
breast enlargement:

How much swelling is there after surgery?

There is always some swelling after breast augmentation, usually less than five to ten percent. Most of this swelling is gone by two weeks, but a small amount remains up to six months in most women. That is one reason that some women later wish they had asked for a larger size after a year or two - they become accustomed to their new size when swollen, and then want to become that size instead of the size they originally asked for.
