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.

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

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. 

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.

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.

You are very early in your healing, when you implants drop into place, which may take several weeks, your scars should be hidden. Discuss your concerns with your surgeon. Good luck.

If you are only two weeks out from surgery, you have a lot of recovery still ahead of you.  As the breasts soften and settle, the lower pole of the breast will round out more and hide the scars pretty well.  Based on your pictures, I would expect them to be hidden pretty well.  It may take three months for everything to soften and settle so just be patient and give yourself time.

At 2 weeks postop, you are early on in the healing process. Hopefully, when your implants drop and swelling subsides, the scars will be hidden in the inframammary crease. Discuss using an adjunctive healing aid such as silicone based scar cream with your surgeon since we have found this helpful with our breast augmentation scars.

Typically it takes a full year for the breasts to settle and for scars to mature. I would recommend you talk to your plastic surgery about strategies for scar management and breast implant massage. Best of luck!

Thank you for your question. Your incisions appear to be in the correct position. As the implant settles they will become less noticeable. If they were higher on your chest I would be concerned for potential bottoming out. Give your recovery time as the shape and position will change and become more natural looking.
