3 week PS and my breasts are finally starting to look better but I'm thinking they are too wide for my body. They are MP, mentor silicone, 375cc "look" filled to 425cc. I am 4'11, 115lbs, hourglass shaped body, 34A before surgery, 34D currently. I am very confused with the size. I feel like they are big but not in the right places. I want more volume up front. Not to the sides. I told my Dr. I wanted to be full and perky but without looking extremely fake. I still feel like I'm flat up front.
Answer: Are my Breast Implants Too Wide?
Thanks for good posted photo. I have a few issues in that your before photos would help answer. But My guess is you had a deficient inferior pole distance thus a large/wide implant as the MP are gives this appearance. There is a chance the implant will drop in to the inferior area. But I have some doubts that will happen. I would have chosen the HP implant or even better the new silicone ultra high profile. Also you might have needed a donut lift. Best now to wait 3 months before determining if you need revision. Good luck.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Should Improve With Time. Round Subpectoral implants all start out 'high and tight'. They almost always 'relax, drop down, and drop forward' as they settle in. Give the breast envelope at least 6 months to adapt to the implant. Express your concerns to your PS, but I believe that you will likely have a nice result.

Answer: Concerned 3 weeks after surgery
I understand your concern but it is too early to jump to conclusions. The implants should drop over the next month or so. You might be able to massage downward but check with your surgeon. Hang in there.

Answer: Concerns about Breast Appearance after Breast Augmentation…
Thank you for the question and pictures.
I would suggest that you continue to exercise patience and allow for 3 to 6 months to pass before evaluating the end results of surgery. At this point in your recovery, it is very common for patients to feel that they are “too big”, “too small”, “too flat", “too wide”… Most patients end up very happy with the long-term results of surgery.
From the physical standpoint, it takes many months ( and even up to one year) to see the final results of surgery. Factors such as swelling, tissue contraction, skin redraping, implant shifting etc. come into play.
From the psychological standpoint, patients undergo an “adaptation period" during which time they get used to the changes that the surgical procedure has brought about. Severe emotional swings can also occur after any type of surgical procedure.
Again, I would suggest continued patience and follow up with your plastic surgeon.
Best wishes.

Answer: Too early to tell ... Hi Andrea Your implants still are still riding high and are yet to settle which should happen over a few more weeks. Right now your breasts have not achieved their final shape. You may wear an upper pole breast band to push the implants down which will fill out the lower pole and possibly give you more projection. In all I would wait up to 6 months to assess the final result though like I said u may use a band earlier. I hope this helps.....
