I got my BA almost 2 months ago.(275,silicone,moderate+, submuscular) And I feel like my breasts are too low. I know they are not big, but looks like implants are below my nipples. They still tell me to wear compression band above to push implants more down! And that I shouldn't wear any bras for 6 month. I feel like it should be opposite... am I wrong? Do they look OK? Should I listen to the nurse who said that in 6 month they may go up? Can somth be done to correct them?
Answer: Low lying implants are not necessarily bottoming out.
There are several issues here that are difficult to assess from a side view. My guess is that you had an initially low lying crease as reflected by your N-IMF distance with mild lower pole constriction. Teh use of the band by your surgeon and nurse is probably to promote lower pole expansion. However, as you have indicatied, it wil make your breasts appear even lower. A larger implant may correct this if your N-IMF is less than 7-9 cm, in my opinion only.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Refrain from lowering them any more The breast has a very natural look, although the nipple is a little high on the breast projection from the side. The outcome is dependent on your preoperative anatomy. I would not attempt to lower them at this point though. I don't think they need correction.

Answer: Low Breasts Following Augmentation It’s very difficult to evaluate this problem with an isolated lateral photograph. Your lateral picture suggests that a large percentage of your breast volume is located below the level of the nipple areola complex. In the short term, the use of an upper breast bandeau should be discontinued. This device forces the breast implants inferiorly which can accentuate the current deformity. It would be appropriate to use an underwire bra, this would stabilize the inframmammary fold and possibly shift the breast implants in a superior direction. If this problem persists beyond six months, surgery will probably be necessary. This might require something simple, like replacing your current implant with a larger one. It may require a larger procedure where the inferior breast pocket is elevated into a normal position. It’s important to discuss these issues with your plastic surgeon. At this point conservative management is indicated but surgery may ultimately be necessary.

Answer: Low implants
Thank you for the photo. Yes it appears that your implants are a bit low. I would stop wearing a compression band and wear a bra when ever you are up and about. I never use compression bands and always have my patients wear a bra after surgery. Also, pectoralis exercise can aggravate this situation. You should really discuss your concerns with your plastic surgeon. Good luck.

Answer: Low Riding Breast Implants
I agree from this picture that the implants look low. A couple of different picture angles would be helpful. Some surgeons would recommend and underwire bra to help reposition the implants. At this point I do not think that strategy would hurt and may help. Most likely you may need a revision.
