Hi I'm day 5 post BA (under muscle) Pains been a lot lot worse than I anticipated (I've had 2 natural childbirths and coped better) my right breast seems to be a bit into my armpit. Don't know what to think some advice says don't judge for 3 months others say where they are is where they'll be! X
Answer: Too Early As I'm sure you been told in the past it's really too early to evaluate the outcome of breast augmentation. The path of least resistance for the implant is to move up and out towards the underarm. As the muscle relaxes the implant will drop to the bottom of the pocket created for it. However, patients with large and wide sternum's to begin with will never have breasts that are touching each other in the cleavage region. Without your preoperative photos, this is hard to evaluate. After six months or so you can then look critically at where the implant is relative to the nipple. Good luck and hoping for an uneventful recovery.

Answer: Post-op BBA Hi thereThanks for your commentsIt is a little early to comment on the final result and you will notice many changes over the next 3-6 months.Over time your breast will become softer and they will become more mobile too. As I am sure your surgeon mentioned, if you have a wider sternum pre-operatively, then this will still remain post-operatively. Having said that, by enlarging the breasts, your cleavage will improve, especially when you go into normal bras.Good luck with your recovery

Answer: Will my implants come closer together? Congratulations on having undergone the breast augmentation procedure. It is much too early to evaluate the outcome of the procedure performed; your breasts will undoubtedly change over the course of the next several weeks/months. Many of my patients report that as the swelling around the breast implants (for example, in the sternal area) decreases, they feel that their breasts appear more projecting; I do not think that they will appear significantly closer together however. Also, in my opinion, the "drop and fluff” phenomenon does hold some validity; as breast implants “settle”, many patients feel that their breasts actually look larger. Although online consultants cannot predict whether or not you will be pleased with the long-term outlook, of the procedure performed, it is safe to predict that the breasts will change. Do your best to stay emotionally even keeled. Best wishes for an outcome that you will be pleased with longer-term.

Answer: Will my implants come closer together? Hello and thanks for your question You are still very early in the post operative period and your implants have most likely not completely "dropped" into their final positions. It' hard to tell exact implant position from the photo you've included. Final appearance can take up to three months. In the mean time, I would review your concerns with your plastic surgeon. Use of massage exercises and elastic bands can be helpful. As far as post op pain, there is a huge variation in severity from patient to patient and what you have experienced is not unusual. Best of luck.
