Am 8 days post op from breast reconstruction exchange from expanders to implants. Do I need a do over? (photos)

You need to give this time, being only 8 days out. These are tricky procedures and you need to be patient. Skin will soften, dents will smooth - maybe not entirely,but some. The breasts are swollen so cleavage will improve. You need to allow at least 4 months for the initial healing and settling. Minor scar revisions and some fat transfer can take care of asymmetries and irregular contours. Nipple reconstruction may also help improve appearance.Good luck. 

I appreciate your question.You are still early but may benefit from shaped implants, skin tightening and maybe fat graftingThe best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam.Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative breast surgery.best of luck!Dr Schwartz

Thank you for sending your pictures and question. I think it is too early after surgery to determine the next step. Without the benefit of preop pictures I would recommend waiting for the results to settle. You have a nice result so far and you may be a good candidate for fat transfer to the contour irregularities.

Thank you for your question.  I would recommend waiting 3 months and then explore the option of fat grafting.  Once the swelling is down, this will help fill in hollow areas and give a more natural look.  I wish you all the best.Dr. Gill

You are still very early in the post-op and the shape of the breasts will change as the swelling subsides. Be patient.

My first choice for reconstruction in patients are large breasted and have a BMI over 34 is to do DIEP flap reconstruction.  After reviewing some of my cases you will see a case in particularly that essentially always needed a breast reconstruction but unfortunately developed breast cancer before she could ever have one.  She had her bilateral mastectomies and immediate DIEP flap reconstruction.  I was then able to reshape the breast to the final result you see on RealSelf.  It is worth a consult to determine whether or not you are a candidate and then decide if that is an option you wish to pursue.
