I got my breast augmentation april 22nd 2011. I was a very small A-cup before my augmentation and i got 600CC medium profile saline implants under the muscle. I now have deep dark strech marks and the scars from the implants are 2 inches long. also my implants seem very wide set and hang over the edges of my sides. lastly my nippls look like torpedos they also seem to rest in an awkward teardrop position and the left implants has settled a half inch lower then the right. Can this be fixed? how?

Stretch Marks and Other Problems Following Breast Augmentation

I could provide a better answer if pre-operative pictures were available. You do not list your height and weight, but for the average patient I see, 600cc implants are quite large.

Breast Implants and Stretch Marks

Thanks for posting after pictures. It would be best if you could also post before pictures. The stretch marks were most likely there before the surgery. Surgery does not make new stretch marks. However, they may be more apparent now with the implants in place. In my opinion, your implants have a base diameter (width) which is too large for your body. My suggestion would be exchanging to a smaller base diameter implant and redefining your inframammary fold.... more
