Is It Normal for my Breast to Look This Way 5 Days Post Op? (photo)

I just had surgery and had a bilateral breast augmentation with smooth rnd mod plus profile saline. My right breast was about 50cc larger than my left according to my doctor . The left had 500 and right 475 both over filled to 585 and 535 submuscular placement through inframammary fold. I have been using the ace bandage under my compression bra the whole time minus my showers . After augmentation is it normal for my breasts to looks this way? Will I have a full lower pole and good breast shape

Follow-up with your surgeon and express your concerns. Good Luck!

5 days post op Breast Surgery

Thank you for your question and your photos. I agree that it is too early to predict your end result at this point. Breast Implants ride high and need time to settle into the pocket. Keep your follow up appointments with your surgeon and with time, you should see the implants settle into the pockets. Best Wishes!

Post op appearance

It is not possible to predict your end results at 5 days after surgery. The implants are always high at this point after submuscular placement. Take another photo at one month to see the difference and follow up with your surgeon.
