4 days post op, and little concerned if they will be to far apart, and hope to have a little upper fullness as well as lower pole. Do this look okay? Breastfed to children, minimal ptosis before surgery but enough so that the doctor lowered inframmatory fold a little bit.

Answer: Final shape of breasts As others have stated, it is important to wait 3-6 months before your arrive at your final breast shape. In the meantime, it is best to have patience to see how things will shape out. With regards to your breasts being apart, even as your breasts settle, they are unlikely to change your cleavage. Perhaps you had wider-spaced breasts to begin with? Your baseline anatomy usually limits what we can do safely. The reason is because it would be risky to dissect a breast pocket extending medially in the hopes of creating more cleavage. The tissues there are very thin and the implant may become palpable and visible, and over-dissection can also create a "uniboob" situation (something we call symmastia) that is both problematic in appearance and difficult to fix. Hope this helps! Congratulations on your recent surgery.

Answer: Breast Augmentation Hi and thank you so much for your question! I discuss at length with my patients to anticipate it will take approximately 3-4 months for their breasts to settle into their position. Four days is very early post op, and you will likely have significant swelling. I would suggest discussing your concerns with your board certified plastic surgeon.
