I just had a lift with 250'cc silicone implants over the muscle one week ago. I was a very droopy B cup but now my boobs look like torpedos!? should they be this pointy ? Also they look very uneven. Will I be a Full C once they settle? Im worried I may have chosen a bad surgeon,help! :(
Answer: Augmentation mastopexy concerns Unfortunately now is not the time to second guess your choice of surgeon. It is very early and it is quite likely that your breasts will settle with time. I would not make any drastic decisions at this time. Your best option is to give it time for the results (at least 4 months but 9 months in my opinion). It is difficult to second guess another surgeon's choice or intra-operative decisions and I would continue to see your surgeon and follow his/her advice.

Answer: Swelling can take time to resolve, resuslts likely to improve. The period of time immediately following combination breast augmentation/breast lift surgery is characterized by rapid change.During this time, swelling, muscle spasm, and the healing process itself all contribute to changes in the appearance of a woman’s breasts.It’s not unusual for women to have concerns about breast aesthetics following cosmetic breast surgery.Often when patients undergo significant changes following surgery, it takes time to adjust to their new body.After reviewing your pictures, it’s fair to say that it’s impossible to make an accurate judgment about your aesthetic result at this time.At this point in time, you appear to have significant swelling, which may last for months.As this swelling resolves and your tissue remodels, you might ultimately have an excellent aesthetic result.For all these reasons, you need to be patient.Make sure you communicate with your plastic surgeon.Your surgeon will be able to explain what has been done surgically and how your body is healing.This will hopefully alleviate your anxiety.

Answer: Breast augmentation results This is very common shortly after surgery. Your breasts need time to adjust to the implants and settling has to occur. In about three to four months your implants will settle with the force of gravity and tissue expansion, become more natural in appearance. A gentle rounding out of the bottom portion of your breasts will occur to mimic natural breast contour. This may occur sooner in one breast but gradually both will even out. Please wait a bit longer to see this happen.

Answer: What to Do About Breasts That Look Like Cones After Implants?
It appears that you have had a mastopexy with implants. The early results are usually not indicative of the final results. It is best to let some time pass before evaluating your results. It appears that your results will be good cosmetically.

Answer: My Breasts Appear Like Torpedos - Will This Improve?
Without a complete face to face physical exam, it is very difficult from your one picture to know exactly what is going on. The steri strip your surgeon has placed towards the bottom of your breasts has confused many of your expert Real Self plastic surgeons. There is no bottoming out of your implants, and in fact, your breasts will settle more and the torpedo appearance will resolve over the next couple of months.
There does appear to be a slight asymmetry of your breasts. I doubt seriously that you chose a "bad plastic surgeon". Based on your preoperative breasts being a "very droopy B", your results at this stage appear to be reasonable, and if the apparent asymmetry does not resolve with time, then your surgeon may need to do a slight revision.

Answer: Breast Augmentation and Lift I am concerned with the way things look right now, but at this point you just need to wait and see how everything pans out. I would wait for 4-6 months before considering revision surgery. I also am not sure why you have the steri-strip tape accross your breast but i would be careful that it does not cause a blister or skin tear as it looks very tight around the tape. Good luck.
