**6 Days Post Op** Breast Augmentation**implant Placement High and Unnatural -- HELP?

Six day post-op is much too early to panic! At this point you should be concentrating on healing.  Once you start the exercises, everything will look much better. It takes time for the swelling to decrease and for the implants to settle down. The best thing to do is discuss your concerns with your surgeon.

Hello! Thank you for your question! You are still early post-procedure. Your appearance looks typical at this stage and will continue to improve as the swelling subsides and the implants continue to settle into their desired position. This usually proceeds over the next several weeks as the lower pole skin/breast stretches to accommodate the implants. Follow-up closely with your surgeon for additional restrictions/instructions and the potential use of bras/garments or massage that may encourage the implant to settle appropriately. If still displaced after this time, a surgical procedure may be necessary to further open the pocket and bring the implant(s) down. Hope that this helps! Best wishes!

The artificially supported volume of the breast implants should change as swelling subsides. This may take a number of months however.

Thank you for your pictures.  This can be a common problem for transaxillary implant placement especially for surgeons with minimal experience with this approach.  You need bandeau treatment (a band across the upper pole of the breasts)

It is too early to tell as all implants ride up high in the early post op period. You need to wait several months for these to settle down. One of the problems with the armpit incision can be implants that won't fall far enough.
