The implants feel tight and not very soft. My right breast is sitting higher than my left and is also bigger . I would like to remove them and replace with the softest material as well as a moderate more relaxed natural shape and drop to 420cc on my breast. I would like to know how soon I can remove and replace with a different implant and also what type of shape and material will be the softest and more relaxed/natural looking?

Answer: BA results Dear age is grace,I understand your concern and it is quite normal to be concerned about the outcome following a breast augmentation surgery. However, you are still in the very early stages of the healing process at 7 days post op.Your will need to be patient at this moment and follow what your surgeon has instructed you to do post operatively.At the early stage of the healing process, the tissues around the implants are still swollen. Once the swelling subsides and the implants drop to their final position, you will be able to see the final result of your breast augmentation surgery.Daniel Barrett, MD Certified, American Board of Plastic Surgery Member, American Society of Plastic Surgery Member, American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery

Answer: Breast augmentation surgery and concerns: when can I exchange them? I am sorry to hear about your concerns after breast augmentation surgery. There is no standard "waiting time" to proceed with revisionary breast surgery. This decision is best individualized based on factors such as safety considerations (for example, returning too early may increase risk such as bleeding…) and determining patients' certainty that revisionary surgery is likely to achieve an outcome that she will be happy with long-term. It may be helpful for you to know that a significant percentage of patients early in their recovery will feel that they are too big or (more commonly) too small. I routinely ask my patients to wait at least 3-6 months before evaluating the end results of the breast augmentation surgery. This waiting time allows patients to (usually) physically and psychologically adapt to the new body image. At this point, seven days out of surgery, I would advise: patience and rest. I would also suggest that you discuss these concerns with your plastic surgeon who will be in the best position to advise you. Best wishes.
