Does subglandular placement show final results this early? I understand going under the muscle will settle significantly, but don't believe it's the same for over. Is that correct? I understand the diameter/chest measurement in using the HP. So not sure if a lower profile would have been a good option (plan to ask). I'm 47 yrs old, was small B, right now fit D cup. Goal was a C. Disappointed in the fake look. Any chance it will settle into a more natural look? If so, what is average time frame?
Answer: I wanted a more natural look. Will these settle any more? Smooth Round High Profile Gel 325cc, subglandular, 3 wks ago. I'm sorry to hear about the concerns you have after your procedure. Regardless of whether breast implants were positioned, best to give yourself several months before evaluating the outcome of the procedure performed.You should be aware that a significant percentage of patients at your stage of recovery will feel that they are too big or (more commonly) too small. Again, I routinely ask my patients to wait at least 3-6 months before evaluating the end results of the breast augmentation surgery. This waiting time allows patients to (usually) physically and psychologically adapt to the new body image. From the physiological standpoint, it takes many months ( and even up to one year) to see the final results of surgery. Factors such as swelling, tissue contraction, skin redraping, implant shifting etc. come into play. From the psychological standpoint, patients undergo an “adaptation period" during which time they get used to the changes that the surgical procedure has brought about. Severe emotional swings can also occur after any type of surgical procedure. In your case, I would suggest continued patience. Continue to follow-up with your plastic surgeon. Best wishes for an outcome that you will be pleased with longer-term.

Answer: Natural breasts! I think you look great and will go down size-wise in a couple of months. Furthermore, I think you choose the perfect size to be a medium to full "C" cup. However, remember this... some women who are full "C" cups do wear a "D" because they're more comfortable in them. Good luck!

Answer: 'Natural' Breast Augmentation Hello,In general, the formula for a 'natural' result (whatever that may be to the eye of the beholder) is to keep three parameters in mind:1. Limit the size of implant. My guess looking at your photos is that if you were measured for the best size implant for your anatomy (dimensional planning), it would have been smaller than 325.2. Limit the projection of the implant. High profile implants do one thing very well and consistently, which is provide the most projection for it's given volume. 3. Maximize the amount of tissue covering the implant. Sub pectoral achieves this goal better than subglandular. Fortunately, you are only 3 weeks out, so you will settle and soften, and hopefully be very happy. Best of luck!

Answer: 3 weeks post op I typically advise my patients to wait a good 4-6 months to see their final result because implants do tend to drop and settle during this time. You are fairly early in your healing phase so just give your body time to heal. Best of wishes for a great result!
