Hello and thank you for your question and picture.It is definitely too soon to tell how you will feel about your implants once they have settled.  As the other doctors have mentioned, one of your implants is sitting high on your chest and this may ultimately be a reason to do a revision.  Overall though I would say to wait at least 3 months before you make a final judgment.  If you do a revision, consider how a lift might enhance the shape of your breasts and raise the position of your nipple while allowing you to use a smaller implant to get the uplifted look you desire.  Best of luck to you,Ruth Celestin, MD

Hello, I understand your position, and at this point nothing is more important that you feel comfortable with your breasts. If you feel they look to big, and still very high,  a revision choosing smaller implants and maybe consider a lift should be discussed with you PS.  Best wishes

At this point wait for 3 months from surgery.  If you still feel they are too big, then you will have to downsize, and possibly do a lift.  Right now one implant looks very high.  If it doesn't begin to drop soon, that will also be a reason to consider revision

Vishnu Rumalla, MD · Answer

Thanks for your inquiry, I do not know what you and your plastic surgeon discussed during your consultation, but if you feel too big now you should discuss this with your surgeon.  In terms of your implant position, please ask your surgeon what he/she recommends to facilitate making the right implant fall more, also give it more time before any revision, good luck.

Jennifer Lauren Crawford, MD · Answer

You have used some generous implants but they may be able to provide you with a shape and volume that you are pleased with.  I would wait another month to see how they end up settling out.  If you feel that the shape and nipple position is unsatisfactory after all settling and swelling has resolved, then it may be time to discuss that lift again.  If you end up happy with the volume of your breasts in a bra, then the implant size may be appropriate.
