I am 3.5 months post-op, will this weird shape improve over time? (Photos)

I typically discourage patients from passing judgements on their results during the early healing period. Much will change over the initial 6 months post op. While there is no guarantee all of your concerns will resolve entirely, many of them will.
With regards to your specific question, much will change over the initial 6 months as soft tissue stretches and swelling resolves. Asymmetries are very common in the early post op period. Based upon your photos, you may benefit from a lift (too early to tell). Additionally, the large volume/high profile of your device is exaggerating the downward nipple position. This may be helped by downsize.s always, discuss your concerns with a board certified plastic surgeon (ABPS).

Hi SinheadIt is difficult to tell becuase the process of taking a selfie changes the shpa eof the breast and makes it look asymetrical however it looks like you have some pre-exisiting difference between the breasts.  Whether the shape changes or not will depend on the plane in which the implant was placed. I think the implant you have chosed is too big which has contributed to the aesthetic outcome you can see.  It is bet to speak to your surgeon about correctoin which is likely to be in the form of a lift. Alternatively you can seek a 2nd opinion.CheersDamien

Hi sinhead97,

I understand your concern and it is quite normal to be concerned about the outcome following a breast augmentation surgery. However, you are still in the early stages of the healing process at 3 months post op.

You will need to be patient at this moment and follow what your surgeon has instructed you to do post operatively.

At the early stage of the healing process, the tissues around the implants are still swollen. Once the swelling subsides and the implants drop to their final position, you will be able to see the final result of your breast augmentation surgery.

Dropping of implants is part of the healing process and this occurs after the tissues surrounding the implants slowly relax, allowing the implants to settle into their final position. It can take about four to six months for the implant to drop down to their final position. Also, your breasts can drop at different rates.

But if you are still concerned, you can always visit your plastic surgeon and discuss your concerns. This way, you will be reassured. Also, if after six months, you are not satisfied with the appearance of your breast, you can visit your plastic surgeon and discuss the possibility of revision surgery.

Lastly, follow your plastic surgeons post-operative instructions and advice for faster healing and recovery.
