. Silicone 397 cc. Riding high. I am depressed. I just had the surgery a few days ago. Saw the surgeon who put it off on me telling me I needed to push hard in massage to get the riding high implant to come down and also inward. Why is this on me? When I had the first implants (30 years ago) I looked and felt great afterward. now I feel depressed, abnormal looking; it's kind of flat above the nipple and yes high riding but then not so much from the fold to the nipple and one of the scars is above the fold. Not happy. help.

Upper pole swelling and fullness soon after breast implant surgery is common

Please wait

You just had surgery and tissue still swollen . If you have trusted your surgeon to operate on you,please trust him and wait at least few weeks. You can attach picture to evaluate the results better.
