I am two weeks post op and I feel like my incisions are on my chest/rib cage and not on my “underboob”. Are they too low or when my implants settle will they be on my underboob by that time? I wanted my scars to be as hidden as possible and they’re definitely visible.
Answer: Are my under the breast inframammary incisions too low? (Photo) Thank you for sharing your question and photographs. As your results mature, tissue swelling resolves, and implants settle you will see each incision rise up into your breast crease/breast. I know waiting is difficult but allow your results more time to mature and then revisit your incision results. Hope this helps.

Answer: BA results Dear tlow2015,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.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.Daniel Barrett, MD

Answer: IMF incisions Thank you for your questions and photos. Your incisions appear to be in the correct location. Your breasts will change over the first 3 months following your surgery and the incisions may migrate slightly higher on your breast.

Answer: Incisions Congratulations on your surgery! Your incisions look to be placed properly. As you continue to heal your breasts will soften and the implants will drop into the pocket. I encourage you to discuss your concerns with your surgeon for optimal results.

Answer: Healing from surgery Thank you for your question.You are very early in the healing process. Over the next few weeks the implants will drop and the breasts will become more natural looking. The scars appear to be in a good position and I think once you are healed you will not be able to notice them.

Answer: Less Visible In Time 2 weeks after a breast augmentation is an early stage in the healing process. The position of your incision lines do not seem too low. As you continue to heal and as your breast tissue adapts and stretches and your implants drop, the exposure of the scars is likely to improve. Also, it can take up to a year for a scar to fully mature, flatten and fade.
