I'm10 weeks post op BA with 375 silicone under muscle. Implants are not dropping, look saggy and have some flex distortion with the right. Ps said that I may need a revision. Is it too late to try wearing the strap? My ps would like to do a revision above the muscle if needed. Do you feel that there is a chance that my breasts will eventually look natural? I realize my breasts are close together, I have pectus excavatum and they were close pre op. Thank you for any advise you have for me.
Answer: Sagging breasts and flex distortion 10 weeks post op. Will this possibly resolve over time? Your plastic surgeon will always be your best resource given that he knows exactly how/where the breast implant “pockets” were dissected. Generally speaking, at your stage, there is still time for the breast implants to “settle”; this process may be assisted with the use of downward displacement exercises/massage and/or the use of upper breast pole straps. See what your plastic surgeon recommends. Hopefully, as the breast implants “settle”, the animation/flexion “deformity” and overall breast shape will improve. Best wishes for an outcome that you will be pleased with long-term.

CONTACT NOW Answer: 10 weeks postop BBA Your plastic surgeon will be the best resource for your concern as he know exactly what was done. At 10 weeks there is still a chance the implants will come down to fill the lower poles of the breasts. If you were my patient I would recommend good frequent breast massage and wear a top band.

Answer: Implants not dropping, sagging breasts and flex distortion 10 weeks post op. Will this possibly resolve over time? Thank you for your question and photographs. I am sorry that you are experiencing this difficulty.You are still very early after surgery and your implants may continue to drop further. Please discuss with your plastic surgeon aggressive breast implant displacement exercises and I personally think a superior pole wraps may still help you.Your plastic surgeon is in the best position to estimate whether a revision may be necessary. If the pectoralis muscle is still attached to the fifth rib then further dropping of the implant may be difficult.Whether a revision would involve release of the pectoralis muscle or a bilateral breast lift is best determined by your plastic surgeon. I would however try a pole wrap.

Answer: Revision Your plastic surgeon would be able to judge if you need a revision. I usually wait at least 6-12 months to allow implants to settle. If they have not settled then, you may need something done to make them look better. Going above the muscle or dual plane is beneficial for patients with your breast shape. I think doing that will help them look more natural.
