About 30 hours post op and I’m not sure what to expect. My breasts appear so far apart and they are very hard. I’m 5’3 and 135 pounds And I got 385cc implants. My boobs are so stiff and seem so far apart, there isn’t even that much cleavage. Do you think it will change or move closer soon?!im nervous my surgeon told me not to massage them... Advice please
Answer: Early postop This is not unusual at this stage and is often related to the amount of skin you have and your chest shape. The implants will need time to stretch the skin and for the implants to drop.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Post Op - Appearance of Breast, Healing and Recovery Hi ninaja555, I understand your concern and it is quite normal to be concerned about the outcome following a breast augmentation surgery. However, you are still in the early stages of the healing process at 1 day post op. You will need to be patient at this moment and follow what your surgeon has instructed you to do post operatively. At the early stage of the healing process, the tissues around the implants are still swollen. Once the swelling subsides and the implants drop to their final position, you will be able to see the final result of your breast augmentation surgery. Dropping of implants is part of the healing process and this occurs after the tissues surrounding the implants slowly relax, allowing the implants to settle into their final position. It can take about four to six months for the implant to drop down to their final position. Also, your breasts can drop at different rates. But if you are still concerned, you can always visit your plastic surgeon and discuss your concerns. This way, you will be reassured. Also, if after six months, you are not satisfied with the appearance of your breast, you can visit your plastic surgeon and discuss the possibility of revision surgery. Lastly, follow your plastic surgeons post-operative instructions and advice for faster healing and recovery.

Answer: Breasts Far Apart Thank you for your question. The placement of your implant is correlated to your anatomy and is placed behind the nipple. If your breasts were far apart on your chest wall before surgery, they will be the same after surgery. However, when the breasts are bigger, this may become more noticeable. Breast augmentation changes the size of the breast but does not necessarily create cleavage. I recommend consulting with your plastic surgeon about your concerns.Kamran Azad MD, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon

Answer: Why are my boobs so far apart after BA? 1 day post-op. My guess is you were wide set breasts preop. So adding implants would only accentuate the wide appearance. Did not your chosen operative surgeon explain that concept to you before the surgery?

Answer: Breast position Your breasts are far apart post op because they were far apart pre op. Breast augmentation just makes your natural breast larger. However, your soreness and stiffness will get better as the tissue relax and swelling goes away. Good luck.
