Extra skin/“pre-boob skin” hanging off my new breast implants. I'm almost 5 weeks post op, will it go away? (photos)

Asked By:Huggbugg in Columbia, SC

Almost 5 weeks post op, see pictures for my concern. Pictures were done today. I love the way my breasts look if my arms are over my head or if they are in clothing but if I lean forward or have my arms relaxed, my implants don’t fall with the natural breast tissue I had before my augmentation. My surgeon said I didn’t need a lift when I had my implants done. They are 590 silicone submuscular. Just concerned about my sagging “old” breast tissue over my implants... will this get better??
