Breast Not Rounded and Nipple Uneven and Not Round? (photo)

   Early in the preoperative course following breast lift and augmentation, the implants tend to be high and may distort the breasts and the appearance of the breast lift.  This does not appear to be the case here, but early postoperative appearance may not mirror final result.

Thank you for the question and for the photos. It is not uncommon to be concerned with the initial breast shape after a lift with implants. However, it is far too early to know the final outcome. The shape of the breast will evolve over the next 4-8 weeks as the skin relaxes a bit and the implant drops. In that process, the breasts will take on a more rounded and more natural look, with the lower pole of the breast filling out.

I realize that it is hard to be patient and even harder not to obsess, but it will take some more time to see the final result. If at that time, you are still not satisfied with the shape, there are things that can be done to help it out.

Best of luck with the recovery.

Sincerely,

Jeff Rockmore

The breast can look very strange for the first few weeks after a breast lift. You need to be patient with the healing process. Your breast shape will continue to change for months and months.
