This appearance means that there is some excess skin tat has pulled downwards with the weight of the implants, and especially in a seated position which creates a crease. I wouldn't say that this is a normal, but it is a complex problem; one that may be alleviated with supporting the implants in the lower quadrant with another procedure. There are options available, but a full assessment would be required.
Thank you for your question. It's hard to answer this with out an in person evaluation. I would suggest seeing your surgeon and addressing your concern about the excess skin. Best of luck to you.
Thank you for sharing your question. This is difficult to say without an in-person examination but it may be due to some skin stretching between the breasts, or a bit of excess skin. Talk to your physician as they can look at your before, and current, pictures to see the reason for its development.
When we sit, often the anterior trunk shortens a bit making the abdominal skin come in contact with the breasts. If your breasts are normal when you are standing, then this is unlikely a problem. If any questions then, show to your surgeon. Good luck.
Without pre-op photos- all views -standing and sitting- it's difficult to give the best answer. Remember- the infra-mammary crease- is a very specific area that can not be violated or adjusted precisely during surgery. It may be that your implants are a little too large and therefore - creating the skin folds in a sitting position that you see.
Based on the photo, you seem to have excess skin on the lower region of the infra mammary fold. In this case, further surgical intervention may not be the best course of action as it will only add more scars on the body. The best course of action would be to schedule an appointment with your board certified plastic surgeon for an in-person examination.
From your photographs, it appears to me that both implants may be slightly bottomed out giving this appearance to the crease. You might want to consult with your operating plastic surgeon for confirmation. Best of luck.
Hi, I think its unlikely you have capsular contracture 10 weeks after surgery. It’s common for the breasts to feel firm initially and then gradually settle over the first 6 months. It would be more likely to have capsular contracture on one side rather than both sides. It also looks like you h...
Most likely magnesium and collagen do not affect the "blood clotting" mechanism and will not need to be stopped. In general it is safest as a precaution to stop all non-essential supplements as many ingredients are not well known or controlled for their effects. With the 24 hour recovery...
Dear Acasstll0595, The nerve to the nipple comes from the side of the chest under the fourth rib. It is on tension immediately after a breast augmentation. You have probably injured it making it hypersensitive. If you still have sensation to the nipple, then you can assume the nerve is int...
Hi mellou1993, I understand your concern. It is best that you have your hyperthyroidism corrected first before undergoing breast augmentation surgery. Your endocrinologist should provide you with a medical clearance stating that it is okay for you to undergo breast surgery. If you...
At four days post op burning pain that is relieved with position change is normal. The nerves may have been stretched or irritated during surgery. This should improve as swelling resolves and healing continues. A cool compress to the area for a few minutes may help. If it doesn't improve...
Thank you for the good question. Semantics can be confusing; for example, the "internal bra" terminology has been used differently by different surgeons. In our practice, the "internal bra" refers to maneuvers utilized ( generally during revisionary breast augmentation surgery) to better ...
