Hi, I had my implants done one week ago on the 30th September I was just wondering if what I was experiencing was really bad swelling or is my implants too much in my side. I look really wide, if it is swelling what can I do to make it go down?
Answer: Drop & Fluff Hello,Thank you for your question. You have large implants and you are only one week post op so the implant volume is displaced up and outward right now due to pressure. As your swelling gradually resolves and tissue in the lower breasts softens and expands, you will see the implants gradually drop and settle into a different shape. This process can take between 2-6 months. You cannot rush it. Talk with your Plastic Surgeon about any concerns.All the best

Answer: Augmentation on September 30 Thank you for your question and photographs. Increased pain or swelling should be evaluated by your plastic surgeon. Some post operative swelling is to be expected. I wish you good luck.

Answer: Breast Augmentation - Post Op Swelling? Thank you for your question and photos. You are still early in the post-operative period. It typically takes 3 - 6 months for the swelling to subside and and implants to settle into proper position. Please discuss your concerns with your board certified plastic surgeon. Also, make sure you follow all of your plastic surgeons post-operative instructions regarding level of physical activity and use of a support bra. Hope this helps and good luck with your recovery.

Answer: Breast Augmentation Swelling It takes about 3 months for all swelling to go away so it is very early to decide. At first implants are very high and don't look natural.
