I am 3 weeks post op. I know it’s early in the healing process, but I think my PS made my inframamary fold incision too high. I think that the distance between the lower pole of my nipple and the fold is too short. I did not have saggy nipples before and now I feel the fullness of my implant is making my boobs look this way since it doesn’t have much space to fall into. Pre-op: 34A 130lbs, 5’5, 24yo no children 425cc, moderate plus, smooth, silicone, under the muscle, infammamary incisions.
Answer: Breasts need time to drop and fluff At 3 weeks, you are about 15 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.

Answer: Breast Augmentation Result I completely understand your concerns. Based on your photos, your breast implants appear to be sitting relatively high at this time. Once your implants begin to drop into their final position, the appearance of your breasts will change. As the implants drop, your nipples will begin to turn upwards. At 3-weeks postoperatively, it is not abnormal that the breasts are still sitting a bit high, as it can take several weeks to several months for the implants to fully settle. I recommend discussing any concerns with your surgeon as well, he or she is best equipped to answer questions regarding your case. Best of luck!

Answer: 3 weeks post op You are still very early in your recovery and can expect changes ahead. As you continue to heal your implants will drop into the pocket and the look and feel of the breasts will soften. I know it is hard to be patient, but more time is needed. Your final results will not be seen until about 6 months post op.

Answer: Low nipples after BBA Congratulations in your recent procedure! While your implants are still sitting higher up on your chest wall, as you already know, you are pretty early in the healing process. As you continue to heal you will find that you implants will begin to settle, or drop and fluff, into a more natural resting position. Give yourself about 3-6 months worth of healing. Good luck and congratulations again!

Answer: Breast augmentation Hello and thank you for the question and sharing your photos. Your implants are still sitting high on your chest wall, which is common early after breast augmentation. As they drop over the next several weeks, the lower poles stretch and the nipples will rotate upward. You should be more patient and continue to follow up with your surgeon. Breast binders can often be helpful in facilitating this process. Speak with your surgeon to see if it is something he recommends.
