I had 325cc round, high profile, half under the muscle - half above. I'm 2 weeks post OP. My problem is-I feel like they're too far apart. The doc even said I have to massaged them from outward pushing my implant in. When I lay down,my arm bumps slightly into the implants. I fear they are too far apart or will go into my armpit. Do they need to settle later on in order for my breast to be able to be able to give better cleaverage?Should I wear my post OP bra in a way they're pushing them closer?
Answer: Too Far Apart? Good morning!No I don't think so- you have a beautiful early result! However, if you were my patient I would have you in a nice supportive sports bra 24/7 to stabilize your implants.

Answer: Are my implants too far apart? I fear them going into my armpit. I think you have an excellent early post-op appearance. You are still swollen and the tissues are tight. As your implants settle, the breasts will move and feel more natural. I think you will also have very good cleavage. I also have my patients massage to help the implants settle and to decrease tenderness. Good luck!

Answer: Concern 2 weeks after breast augmentation Hi and welcome to our forum!Congratulations on your recent surgery. The photos you providedappear to demonstrate an excellent early postoperative result. Is there a significant gap between the breasts when you are lying on your back? The process of breast healing after augmentation involvesremodeling of the soft tissues as the "drop and fluff" phenomenonoccurs over a period of 3 months or so. One breast may fall into positionfaster than the other. In addition you will still be experiencing significantswelling which may be the cause of early asymmetry and excessive fullness. 60-80% will resolve atthe 6th week with the remainder slowly abating over 6-12 months. It is stilltoo early to assess the operative result.I recommend that you continue followup with your surgeon,allowing more time to heal (usually 6 months or so). Bestwishes...

Answer: Breast implants need time to drop and fluff At 2 weeks, you are about 10 percent settled, shaped, softened, dropped and fluffed. "Drop and fluff" refers to the fact that as the skin stretches and the muscles relax, the implants move down and out slowly – about 1 percent a day. It’ll be about six weeks before they even begin to settle down, but they’ll be close to 80 percent settled and softened at three months. Watching their progress is like watching your hair grow. You don’t see a difference in your hair growth daily, but all of a sudden you need a haircut. Be patient after surgery. Give yourself a few months before making a judgment about your surgical results. You won't know the outcome until then.

Answer: BA results Dear FallenXAngelX, I understand your concern and it is quite normal to be concerned about the outcome following a breast augmentation surgery. However, you are still in the very early stages of the healing process.Your will need to be patient at this moment and follow what your surgeon has instructed you to do post operatively.At the early stage of the healing process, the tissues around the implants are still swollen. Once the swelling subsides and the implants drop to their final position, you will be able to see the final result of your breast augmentation surgery.
