I am a week post op. Before my surgery I had mild tubular breasts that were super pointy (like a cone). I got 420cc silicone under the muscle. I’m just wondering if I’m recovering normally? Will they drop and finally have a rounded bottom? (Since I didn’t have one before)
Answer: Will my implants drop and my tuberous breasts look normal? It is only a week so you need to be patient. The main concern with tuberous breasts is that the areolas are herniated (bulging out) and without an incision around the areola to reduce and flatten them, the nipples may remain pointy. The other concern is that the lower part of the breast is tight in a tuberous breast, which may limit the implants' ability to drop and settle into the rounded lower curvature of the breast at the right level. It is not unusual for implants to look a bit high in tuberous patients. Sometimes an anatomic implant may make more sense for these patients in order to avoid overly rounding the upper pole. For now, be patient, see your plastic surgeon regularly for followup and give time for the result to take shape. Down the road if your implants do not drop or you are concerned about nipple/areola shape/position, revision may be considered.

Answer: Early BA concerns Thank you for your question. You are in early healing phase. Your breasts will continue to change in the coming few weeks. Swelling go down and implants drop. Please follow instructions from your PS and re evaluate in 3-4 months.
