Drooping in Both Breasts 6 Weeks Post Op? (photo)

Hi, As you return for your followup visit, review with your physician did your breasts need a breast lift to achieve a perky appearance.  If you and your physician reviewed the need for a breast lift and decided that breast augmentation would achieve the look you desire then perhaps an "internal" lift or dual plane dissection was performed.  If that was the case, then it will take time for your implants to settle and appear in better position.  At the end of healing, if you don't like the appearance of your breasts, a small breast lift may get the appearance you desire.


Best Wishes!!

If your definition of perky is to have the nipple higher up on the breast, that may come to be over the next few months as the implants settle fully and fill out the skin in the bottom of your breasts.

If your definition of perky is for your breasts to be higher on your chest, that won't happen without a lift. A periareolar lift would move only the nipple and areola. You would need a vertical (or lollipop) lift to actually reposition the breast tissue above the fold.

Wait 6 months for things to settle and for your body to heal fully, and decide then what you think. Some surgeons always stage these procedures, and you may even end up with a better result in the long run since the implants will be in their final position at the time of the lift. Best of luck.

Breasts with modest ptosis often times look quite nice after breast augmentation alone. A large amount of ptosis requires a lift with or without a prosthesis if the breasts are to look youthful.
