I had moderate profile Mentor 325s placed under the muscle through the armpit almost 5 months ago. I am very petite and have firm tight skin. My range of motion is still only 90%. Pre-surgery, I was a 32A with slightly droopy nipples (shrunk from a 32C after children. During pregnancy I grew to a 32F and my breasts looked nice, even and not droopy.) My doctor is saying I look normal, which is obviously not the case. Do you think I will drop and fluff more?

Answer: Breasts Too High After Breast Augmentation Your breasts appear to not have dropped and fluffed. Since you mentioned that you have firm, tight skin, you may need a little while longer for this process to complete. Sometimes it can take 6 months or longer. You can help the process with massage, however please talk to your surgeon for their advice. They can give you the exact instructions on how to perform the massage. If this doesn't help or other suggested nonsurgical treatment, you may require revision surgery to reposition the implants, placing them lower and perhaps choosing an implant that would achieve more natural looking results. Best of luck!

Answer: Breasts Sitting Too High Following Breast Augmentation Surgery It’s always difficult making recommendations without performing a physical exam or seeing pre-operative pictures. Despite this, your post-operative pictures clearly suggest several problems that are probably related to the initial breast pocket formation. It appears that your breast implants are medially displaced and too high and as a result, the nipple areola complexes are malpositioned. This problem will not correct without surgical intervention and will most likely require a pocket revision. When transaxillary breast augmentation is performed, it can be difficult to separate the muscles along the inferior border of the breast pocket. This under dissection can create the type of problem that you are experiencing. Correction involves expansion of the pocket laterally and inferiorly. This is most easily accomplished through an inframmary approach. It’s important that you discuss these issues with your plastic surgeon. In some cases, a second opinion may be appropriate.

Answer: Do My Breasts Post-BA Look Uneven, Deformed and Too High
Your breast implants appear to high and should have dropped into place by 5 months. I would see your plastic surgeon to reevaluate for revision surgery to place the implants in a more anatomical position and improve your appearance.
