Answer: 3 months post op, some advices: Thanks for the question.Its early to talk about results.In my practice, after performing a BA I recommend to my patients to limit the movement of the arms for two weeks. After that, you can move your arms taking care and always with common sense. In this regard, it's not advisable to carry heavy weights to prevent the implant out of position, and allow the formation of the physiological capsule around the implant, also to avoid pain and breast swelling.Kind regards,Dr. Emmanuel Mallol.-

Answer: Capsule Contracture Hi,If your breast are soft and non painful, they do not have capsule contracture. The Implants are a bit high. You may have had a slight bit of ptosis that needed correcting with a dual plane technique. IF this was not performed, the possibility that the implants may need to be repositioned is not out of the question.

Answer: BA You do not appear to have capsular contracture if the breasts are soft. They are very symmetric and the look nice overall. However some would argue that the most aesthetic position of the implant would be lower on your chest wall with the nipple slightly above the apex of the implant projection. If this is your concern, then the best option would be a procedure to lower the implant position on both sides.
