Breast augmentation at 2 days

At 2 days post-op" all bets are off." It is way way way too early to comment on anything. The implants sit high initially and usually descend over time. They look quite high right now. Give it a few months.

Had my breasts done 2 days ago

Looking at your posted photos you seem to have a very nice result from your surgery. It is too early for you to have concerns about capsular contraction. You are swollen from your recent surgery and need to allow yourself time to heal and your body adapt to the implants. Once the swelling goes down and your implants being to fall naturally into your breast pocket you will be able to see if you have any complications. At this point you have no need to worry; continue your doctor's... more

Breast Swelling

2 days after surgery is way to early to worry about capsular contracture. Based on the pictures, it does not appear that you have a hematoma - however only your surgeon would be able to know based on his or her examination. Your implants do appear high, but you will be surprised about how nicely they will settle over the next few months. Hang in there. Good Luck.

Nice early result from your posted photos. But no way to offer you any advise on the issues you are stressing about. Time will heal and IF you have issues they will become apparent by a month post op.

High implants after surgery

It is too early to tell whether or not you have a capsular contracture. It is common for the implants to sit high right after surgery if they are under the muscle. You will need to massage them regularly and maybe even wear a band to help "push" them down. I wouldn't worry right now. If you develop asymmetric swelling or bruising and increasing pain then you should talk to your surgeon about a possible hematoma. If you develop redness or drainage, fevers... more

You don't have capsular contracture or infection. It takes at least 6 weeks to develop capsular contracures. Your condition appears to be perhaps too high positioning of the implants + muscle swelling . It is better to wait for a while to see if they improve or not before you become more concern.

Implants high and hard after only two days

Two days after augmentation is very early to get a capsular contracture. Although you could have an early infection, I would think if this is the cause of the extreme fullness and tightness we are seeing, you should see some redness and you would be running a fever and feeling increasingly sick. You might have bilateral hematomas caused by bleeding. I suppose a similar appearance could be seen in someone who had very very large implants placed, too large for their tissues, and so they are... more
