Question

Breast Lift with Augmentation 8days DPO

Daniel Barrett, MD · Answer

Dear Bkareb,
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 at 8 days  post op.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.

You are very early after surgery and tissue needs to relax and let the implants settle, plus swelling needs to subside. You will probably be happy in one month and very happy by 3 months.

Hi and welcome to our forum!
  
Congratulations on your recent surgery. The photos you provided appear to demonstrate a degree of asymmetry, as expected early on.
The process of breast healing after augmentation involves remodeling of the soft tissues as the "drop and fluff" phenomenon occurs over a period of 3 months or so. One breast may fall into position faster than the other. In addition you will still be experiencing significant swelling which may be the cause of early asymmetry. 60-80% will resolve at the 6th week with the remainder slowly abating over 6-12 months. It is still too early to assess the operative result.
  
I recommend that you continue followup with your plastic surgeon, allowing more time to heal (usually 6 months).  If required, a minor revision will correct the problem.

Best wishes...
