After my Breast Lift no implant, my breast look deformed. Is this normal? (photo)

Question

I had a breast lift without implant 3 days prior to pic. Although I'm satisfied with the volume and fullness up top, I'm extremely nervous about the shape all around. They look deformed to me. Will they end up looking like this??

Hi.  Immediately after surgery, the breast shape can look a little funny after a vertical breast lift, like what you had done.  The lower part of the breast can look a bit flat and over-tightened.  Fortunately, this all settles down over several months, resulting in a normal shape.  Hang in there!  Your pictures look like what is expected at this very early time period.  As always, speak with your surgeon for more explanation.All the best,

Thank you for your question and photo.  You are only 3 days out from surgery in the photo and there will be a lot of changes that occur over the next several months.  The lower breast skin will stretch and things will settle.  You are not fully healed for 4-6 months.  They will not look the same in 4 weeks as they do right now.  Be patient, follow up closely with your surgery and you will likely have a great result.  Best wishes.

Thank you for your inquiry.  The appearance of breast is typical a few days out from surgery-things will settle with time-please discuss your concerns with your plastic surgeon.

Thank you for your picture.  Your breasts will soften and the swelling will decrease. These changes will improve your breast shape.Earl Stephenson, Jr, MD, DDS, FACS
