5 Days After my Breast Augmentation Do They Look Normal?
In general, it is normal for breasts to feel very firm in the first week after a breast augmentation. Discomfort is expected, too. Implants often sit a bit high after surgery and pec muscle swelling combines with this to give breasts a weird square-like shape. Implants "settle" as skin and breast tissues relax and swelling resolves. Expect significant improvement in normal swelling and shape weirdness over the first few weeks. Close follow up with your plastic surgeon is very important in...

Post op
You appear to have a very normal post operative appearance. Swelling after surgery is normal and will take a few months to resolve.

Five days after breast augmentation
Your breasts look normal post-op being that they are only five days after surgery. Give it more time for things to stretch out and for the swelling to go down.

Normal Signs After Breast Augmentation
Dear Sabrina,
Thank you for sharing your your photo along with your post and congratulations.
What you have described is totally normal at 5 days post-op.
At this point, your pec muscles are tense as well as your skin; your breast tissue is accommodating to the new situation. It is normal that you feel a discomfort as well as some pain. You need to be patient so mother nature take its course; your implants will settle in their pockets as time passes and you advance into the...

Concerns after Breast Augmentation?
Thank you for the question and pictures.
I do not see anything of concern in the photographs you have posted. Some firmness and discomfort (at this stage) is to be expected. For more accurate advice and/or reassurance follow up closely with your plastic surgeon.
Best wishes.

Breast Augmentation Appearance

Early post-op Breast augmentation questions.
At 5 days post-op you are indeed still swollen and tender, and this will resolve over time.
However, you have textured implants below the muscle (an error in choice in my opinion), and if they "work" properly in adherence to the tissues, they are already "in-position" and cannot be expected to drop. Furthermore, when reclining, they remain teardrop in appearance (NOT "anatomical" since natural breasts round out and flatten towards the armpit when reclining). Your incisions are a bit too...

Appearance 5 days after breast augmentation
It is completely normal to have pressure, discomfort, and a feeling of breast tightness 5 days after surgery. As your muscle, breast tissue, and skin stretches and relaxes, your breasts will feel softer, and the implants will settle creating a more natural appearance.
Thank you for your question and photo! Best of Luck!
