fluffing ;)

Hi there!
Sorry if I seem a bit dim.. but what is meant by fluffing or saying " I've fluffed".? :) X

You don't seem dim and it's a perfectly resonable question. Never be worried to ask anything here hun.

When you initially have the breast augmentation the implants can sit quite high on your chest no matter whether you have overs/partials or full under the muscle placement. They are very firm during this time. Over the weeks and months the skin stretches and the muscle relaxes (if partial or under placement) the implants drop into a more natural looking position and the breast softens for a more natural feel. During the course of these changes which can seem to happen overnight or over a few days on some occasions where they seem to be high one day and the next one or both implants seem to change all of a sudden. The changes can result in fluffing also known as a sudden increase in bra size, one day your bra fits perfect the next it's uncomfortable of leaving read marks over the cups. It can take a year or so to see the full and final result of a BA. So sometimes they don't seem to change for a few months and you think they are done, then your bra becomes tight and you've fluffed up another size.

Good answer :) And I agree, you don't seem dim one bit. I had no idea what fluffing was until just a few days ago. This site is fantastic when it comes to information about pretty much everything regarding breast augmentation. I find myself learning something new every day!

Thank you so much for explaining!:) I am so glad that that I found you lot! I have learnt so much and feel so much more confident about my BA.. X I am having 325cc overs, although my PS did say he'll have a few sizes in his pocket incase they would look better slightly bigger! Ha ha.I have been walking around the house with one implant tucked in my bra to see how big i'll look and I just can't really imagine it.. I seem to be looking at other womans breasts alot,lol! and trying to guess the size.. I think I am obsessed! X

Shelley, don't worry I've never look at so many boobs, I'm totally obsessed too LOL. Glad you asked the question about fluffing because I've been wondering what it meant too and thought I was going to have to post the question.

Thanks for the explanation x

I was the same a few weeks ago, I really did not know that much at all about BA's! Since joining this fabulous forum I have learnt so much and felt very well informed to go ahead and book consultations and ask all the important Qs. More importantly I feel so supported and know that i am not alone on this journey! Such a great feeling! x x

Just to let you know, boobie obsession doesn't stop after you've had the op! I still find myself staring at other women's boobs wondering if they're fake or not lol.

Good luck with your op hun
