Bowling Ball Look? (photo)

Thank you for your question and for the photos. I am sorry to hear that you are unhappy with the results so far. While it is difficult to make judgements based only on you photos, there are some thoughts that I would be happy to share with you.

While you might like the volume of the implants, their size does make them look unnatural. You have a small frame, and an implant of that size gives too much projection and width in your case. The only way to improve the result and to make them look more natural would be to replace the implants for a smaller size. This is not always a simple procedure, in that the pocket may now be overly large and the skin amy be stretched a bit. While these issues can be corrected, it can be more involved than a simple exchange.

I would say that at 3 months, I wouldn't expect a dramatic change in the current appearance of your breasts. They may bottom out a bit over time due to their size, but will not get any smaller. I am sure that your surgeon will be happy to discuss the options for making your breasts look more natural if you ask him.

I hope that this is helpful and wish you luck.

Sincerely,

Jeff Rockmore, mD

Unfortunately, without a complete history and physical exam and through pre operative photography there is not enough information to make an informed plan, please consult your surgeon or another local board certified plastic surgeon

 

  The implants seem to be too large/wide for your frame. They may drop a bit more in the upcoming months but the overall appearance will not change significantly. Allow for a few more months of healing before considering further surgery to downsize and/or lift the breasts if needed.

More than likely it has to do with the large size of  implant on your petite frame.  If you desire a more natural look, you may opt to exchange them for a smaller implant. Best to wait a full year after surgery before considering an exchange.

You have large implants relative to your chest size and height and weight. You say the size is great, therefore the look cannot be changed. You need smaller implants if you want to look more natural.

With very large implants, they overtake your upper chest. They are too wide and too larger probably for your frame.  

There are a number of things that make these look unnatural. The implants seem too large for your general proportions, they extend beyond the chest wall toward the arms, and the nipples and areolas are too low

 

If you really want to maintain this size, doing a breast lift will improve that aspect of the appearance. Overall I would prefer to see smaller implants and a lift to get a more appropriate look.

 

Discuss these with your surgeon. Best wishes. 

You have very large breasts, the upper pole fullness is due to the sub muscular placement. I don't think they will change much in time. 

When the breast is over augmented there is not enough breast tissue to hide the implant and the breast becomes round and ballooned out. If you really want natural then you should consider a moderate profile implant which is smaller and a better fit to you.

It is difficult to tell how much can be imputed to the angle of the photography. It may well be that the pockets weren't adequately dissected. However, these implants are extremely large for your frame and they are increasing the effect of gravity on your breasts. If you don't need a lift now, you will likely need one down the road.
