Should I be worried about visible incision and puckering 3 days post 415cc hp silicone round under muscle? (Photos)

Question

I'm very happy with my results and know they will drop. My only worry is that my left incision is visible and my breast is puckered. I had an anchor lift 4 years ago and I believe he cut in those incisions. Does this look typical for 3 day post? I see my surgeon in 3 days.

You are still very early in the healing process.  The implants appear to be in good position.  The puckering and breast shape will most certainly improve with time.  Talk to your plastic surgeon about how to make the scars look their best.

Dear amyslp3,I understand that you are worried. However, you are still in the early phase of the recovery period. Please do allow some time for the healing process to occur. Make sure to discuss this issues with your plastic surgeon.Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS

Thank you for sharing your question and photographs.  I see your areas of concern but with the swelling that accompanies surgery it can be difficult to know what your long term results will be as it will maintain your implants in an elevated and flattened position.  As the swelling resolves you should see a more natural breast shape develop with improved fullness along the bottom portion of your breast.  Hang in there and allow your results more time to mature.

It is too early to tell, and I would give it a few months to heal. Best of luck with your results.....

Thank you for your question. Your breasts will continue to change in the coming few weeks. Your implants drop and swelling comes down. Incision will look fine and puckering get better. Please follow instructions from your PS
