Odd-shaped Breasts After Augmentation

April 15, 2009
Asked By:djsvigil

I just had breast implants 6 weeks ago and I'm starting to feel a little discouraged. Since augmentation my breasts have an odd shape. They're kind of like egg-shaped and a little bit flat-looking. My nipples are still not centered, and they are low. My plastic surgeon said that as soon as my implants drop, the nipples should center. I haven't noticed a change with the positioning of my nipples, not even slightly. I am not happy with the way they look. Is this normal for 6 weeks, and am I still in the early stages?
