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: '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!
