Are my Breast Implants Too Close Together? (photo)

I am 1 month and a half post op. I went moderate profile, left 470ccs right 410ccs. I feel that my breast implants are too close to eachother and Im worried it's only going to get worse. Im very petite 5'1 so I don't know if the implant size chosen for me is correct!! I need your opinion

Implant position

Hello, Since this is only 6 weeks after your surgery I would not be to concerned about position at this time. In about 5 weeks when most of the swelling has resolved and the implants have settled, things should improve and appear more natural. Good Luck

Implants too close to each other

Hi, it is still way too soon to get an idea how your implants will settle down eventually, so I recommend you wait a few more months before making any decisions. moderate profile implants are wider than high profile implants with the same volume, but your surgeon should be the one explaining these differences and which is most beneficial to you based on your examination and expectations.

Breast Implants To Close to1 Another?

Thank you for the question and picture. Given that you are only 6 weeks out of your breast augmentation procedure, I would suggest continued patience and follow up with your plastic surgeon.

Implants close

The photos does not show to close in midline but your asymmetry is very evident. The right looks larger and riding lower in the crease area. Best to see your surgeon.

Implants too close together

It is too early to look so closely at your surgery results. Things will change more as you heal and your breasts "settle". It does appear that a narrower base diameter implant would fit your chest better, but right now the best thing to do would be to wait and discuss this with your surgeon at your follow up visit.
