14 Weeks Post Op. Not Satisfied with Results. Implants Seems Too Wide. When Can I Change my Implants? (photo)

Depending on the reason for #revision, it's typically  best to wait approximately 6 to 12 months to undergo the next breast procedure.  Matters such as sagging or drooping  and size change will not improve with time. As with all cosmetic surgery, results will be rewarding if expectations are realistic. With any surgical procedure, there are some risks which your doctor will discuss with you during your consultation. It's best to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeons who have specialized in breast surgery and cosmetic surgery are suitable to perform your breast augmentation. You will then greatly improve your chances of getting the result you desire, and, without the need for a revision surgery. Aside from checking board-certification, it is suggested that you look at before and after photos of the surgeons actual patients, and read patient reviews. Gathering all of this information will help you make a well-informed decision. Please be advised that each patient is unique and previous results are not a guarantee for individual outcomes. 

I would not have used the transaxillary approach as it can produce the kind of result you are unhappy with. The sizing differential would not be as critical, perhaps, with more dissection of the breast pocket.

If you are not completely satisfied with your breast implants a revision surgery may be performed. Fourteen weeks is an acceptable amount of time for recovery and you should be able to proceed with the revision. You may want to opt for a lower profile implant. If you wish to bring the breasts closer together it is possible to use dissecting techniques to bring the pockets closer together, but the ability to do this depends on your anatomy. Another option to move them together would be fat grafting.
