My Breasts Look Flat in the Middle and Not Correctly Shaped Post-surgery
. 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.

Dissatisfaction with Breast Implant Exchange
I do not mean to make light of your condition but without an examination, much less a clear photograph, it is hard to advise you. Your statement : "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. " is not sufficiently descriptive and does not even tell us if you had a simple implant exchange, an exchange with capsulectomy or an exchange with a...

Upper pole swelling and fullness soon after breast implant surgery is common
Without photos, it is very diffcult to understand your description. In any case it is very early after surgery. If your breasts are relatively even, I would give it time to settle.

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.
