At 4 days post op, you are very early in your healing process. It can take anywhere from several weeks to several months for the breasts to fully settle so it is far too early to evaluate your results. This distance between your breasts is determined primarily by your natural anatomy so they are unlikely to get closer together. It is likely that you are still dealing with some post-procedure swelling as well. All of these things play a role in the overall appearance of your breasts, I would recommend giving yourself some time to heal and reevaluate your results in a few weeks. Best of luck!
Hello,Depending on the type and shape of implants your natural breast shape will be modified. If your breasts were naturally "pointy", they will be enhanced as such to varying degrees depending on the type of implant used. Higher projection implants will exaggerate this characteristic more than lower projection styles. These are nuances that I review with each patient before surgery to ensure their desired look is best achieved.You will appreciate your final results in a few months when the swelling has resolved and the implants have settled into their pocket.Warm regards,Dr. Pedy Ganchi Village Plastic Surgery
Dear dayleeg,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 4 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.Daniel Barrett, MDCertified, American Board of Plastic SurgeryMember, American Society of Plastic SurgeryMember, American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery
Hello @dayleeg and thank you for your question.You are still very early in your healing process. Recovery times after breast augmentation vary and depend on a number of factors (i.e. location of implant pocket, implant size, extent of chest wall muscle dissection, etc.). It may take up to 6-12 months for you to completely heal and achieve your final look. I recommend that you continue to follow your plastic surgeon’s post-operative instructions to achieve optimal results. Hope this helps!James Lee, MDBoard Certified Plastic SurgeonMontreal, Canada
dayleeg. I appreciate your concerns but way too early to worry. Your body needs time to heal and adapt to the implants. Your implants appear fairly large and the skin and muscle over the implants must stretch a bit to allow the implants to settle into their final position. While your appearance will improve fairly quickly, don't expect to see your final result for at least 6 months after surgery. Good Luck!
