Dropping Breast Implants

From your photos, it does appear that your breasts are on track for an 8 week course.

Breast Implants after surgery

The overall shape of your breasts looks about right for 2 months after surgery. It looks like the inside of both breasts is tight, which is usually caused by too little release when the pocket for the implant is created. If this doesn't resolve on its own, a secondary surgery to release and "round out" the bottom of the breast can correct it. Make sure you are communicating your concerns to your surgeon, and the two of you can follow your recovery and take appropriate... more
