3d post surgery and one breast doesn't look round (after nurse gave very tight bra) is there something I can do to correct this?

Hi Sallygirl27, 
Thank you for sharing your photos. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for an in-person examination. This way, we can make sure that the deformity you have described is temporary and is caused by tight garment you are wearing. Proper assessment will also help determine whether the deformity is caused by any surgery complication.

Thank you for sharing your question and photograph.  Best to be seen by your plastic surgeon to ensure this is only temporary skin deformation as result of the garment and nothing that needs to be addressed otherwise, such as a fluid collection.  Hope this helps.

Thanks for your inquiry.  it is very early in your recovery and the final shape of the result will change. Follow your surgeon's instructions closely and best of luck. 

I would not worry right now. You are only 3 days postop. Flat areas on the outer and bottom area of the breast usually round out during the recovery as the round shaped implants slowly create a rounder pocket as they stretch out any tight areas of muscle or skin. It may take a few months, but usually this corrects itself (not always, but usually). I would make sure that you discuss this with your surgeon because I do not know the details of your case. Hope this helps.

Have this evaluated by your plastic surgeon to make sure that it does not represent a small hematoma displacing your implant upward. If this is not the case and if your breasts were round immediately after surgery, I suspect this may even out with time. Wearing a bra with a strap to press the implant downward may be all that you need to settle the implant into position. 

Hello. Thank you for your inquiry and congratulations on your surgery!

It is important to have an in-person medical assessment regarding this issue as it is difficult to determine virtually. Continue to update your doctor in the matter and follow their post-op protocol.

It is crucial to get cleared by your doctor before engaging in specific physical activity before the 3 month healing period has ended as the healing stage is important for healthy results.

It generally takes around 6 months to a year to see your final results. Your tissues will take time to relax and allow your implants to "Drop and Fluff" settling into place. Should a revision cross your mind, it is best to wait at least 6 months to a year before doing so.

Our tips for recovery following breast augmentation are to wear a supportive sports bra for 3 months post-operative and refrain from lifting anything heavier than 10 lbs for 3 weeks as we don't want any strain at your incision sites. Make sure to keep the area of your stitches clean by cleansing with hydrogen peroxide daily. Showering is encouraged! But, no sitting in water for 2 weeks following surgery (no baths, hot tubs, pools etc.).
