4 weeks ago- saline implants placed submuscularly w/lift. Initially, a lot of post-op swelling andbruising - a little on the breasts but mainly on my sternum and down both sides of my abdomen. I even had pitting sternal edema and hardened tissue at the lower portions of each breast. Briefly it seemed to improve but then the bilateral swelling again worsened and new bruises were appearing. My doc performed an in office procedure to drain the old & new hematomas on each side. This relieved it somewhat but 5 days later she again performed the same procedure and tried to break up some of the scar tissue. This was the MOST PAINFUL experience --worse than natural childbirth. Now the breast are dropping and softening but the lower half looks lumpy and awful - like two ledges. Advice anyone?

Pain pretty much resolved now. Still ridges. Using band and taping still. Today is 4 weeks since surgery. Any thoughts?

Great review?

My Doctor: name not provided

Seems very thorough but how am I to know if this could have turned out better. Just me ?

It looks like she has never done a Periareolar incision before. Do you do your massages everyday? Although it looks like it'd be very painful. It looks like she didn't lower your breast fold correctly or something. Idk I'd be furious especially since you spent so much money. Hopefully they fix it free of charge!!

Hmm. Have you considered getting a second opinion from another board certified plastic surgeon? Medically, I can't tell you what's going on, but I haven't seen results that look quite like this before.
