12 Weeks Post Op Breast Implants, and Feel Deformed? (photo)

Hello, I am currently 12 weeks post op. 350 cc silicone under the muscle.I feel like I look deformed. However my doctor says I look great... I am very upset with my results at this point. It has been 3 months and it looks worse now than it did after the surgery. Why aren't my pectoral muscles releasing? Was my doctor incompetent? was I not a good candidate to have under the muscle surgery? Why do most women's breasts look amazing and I turned out looking like this?

It in the absence of capsule contracture (which appears unlikely) it appears that the lower attachments of the muscle to your breastbone have not been adequately released and are distorting the shape of your breasts there. While some improvements occur with time, it apprears that you will need to have this revised which should be fairly simple.

Muscle release versus capsule issue

Hello, If your breasts are becoming progressively firmer and more distorted the issue is likely a capsule contracture which is an abnormally thick breast implant capsule. If this is the case the capsule can be released or even better removed. If this is not the case and your breasts are not getting firmer then I suspect the shape of your breasts is caused by the muscle connection still being in place. Correction of this would be relatively straight forward and involve... more
