After 7 weeks, post op, it is not usual. You must contact with your Plastic Surgeon, to asses you properly.

According to the photo I think it can be anomalous scarring, or inflammatory bump/node due to suture or graft protusion/extrusion.

Good luck!

I would choose:

-anatomic implant (teardrop)

-submuscular (dual I-II)(behind muscle)

-inframammary incision

-silicone implant (cohesive gel; f.e. Allergan's "Soft Touch / TRU FORM 2")

-textured implants

In the other hand, photos are not quite good... I think that there is a slight asymmetry that will need to be corrected.

A proper exam with a board certified Plastic Surgeon will definitely give the correct decision.

Good luck!

I think that the procedures mus be done in the same surgical procedure. Cretain asimmetry may persist, but it can be easili corrected in a second stage, and your global aesthetic appearance during this reconstructivetime will be nice inmmediately.

Delayed reconstructive option can be -probably- aritmetically more accurate, but, I think it is psychologically not appropiate.

Good luck!

Thank you for your question Katrina:

I think that your nipples are displaced slightly downward, so the best option would be a breast augmentation using Anatomical Shaped implants, subfascial. In this manner your surgery would be performed with "only" ONE scar (hemi-periareolar or inframammary). Allergan (Natrelle) Style 410 implants are a nice choice (cohesive gel Tru Form 2 or 3). With subfascial placement of teardrop implants, double-bubble effect would be avoided.

In case we use rounded implants, my advice is to asocciate a Breast Lift/Mastopexy; probably circuareolar or circumvertical would be enough.

 

Good luck!

 

 

Dear Kathryn:

Certainly your implants look excesively high. It's too soon to make a decision; you must with 4-5 months...

Apart from this, I think:

-your breasts would need a lift in a near future (nipple-areola complex is too near to IMF -inframammary fold-)

-Implants are too big to be "round"; with anatomic-shaped implants (the implant tip projection point is lower than in a rounded implant. In this manner you can obtain the same or slightly bigger projection, with less volume [f.e. 360cc -Style410MM130360, Natrelle, Allergan]). The upper pole fullness would decrease a little, with a concomitant increase of the lower breast pole. Probably with this option you will not avoid a breast lift revision surgery, but you will have a more pleasant and attractive look with less scars.

Good luck!
