12 Weeks Post Op Breast Implants, and Feel Deformed? (photo)

It in the absence of capsule contracture (which appears unlikely) it appears that the lower attachments of the muscle to your breastbone have not been adequately released and are distorting the shape of your breasts there.  While some improvements occur with time, it apprears that you will need to have this revised which should be fairly simple.

Hello,

If your breasts are becoming progressively firmer and more distorted the issue is likely a capsule contracture which is an abnormally thick breast implant capsule.  If this is the case the capsule can be released or even better removed.  If this is not the case and your breasts are not getting firmer then I suspect the shape of your breasts is caused by the muscle connection still being in place.  Correction of this would be relatively straight forward and involve the release of the muscle at the inner lower quadrant of your breasts.  This can be done under local anesthesia or under general anesthesia.

All the best,

It's ok to have silicone implants under the muscle. It's even more critical to have the inner and lower most muscle released completely so the implant comes down naturally ! It is very clear that your surgeon did not create a big enough pocket by a full lower release of the pectoral muscle. It is fixable but will require a return trip to the OR to do it right

 

 

Hello,

 

From your pictures it looks like your pockets were not dissected big enough for your implants. You need to see your PS and see what options you have to correct. In our practice we place breast bands to help implants drop into pocket. You have a few different options, but without an exam it’s hard to determine which would benefit you the best.
