Question

9 days after breast augmentation of 425cc mentor is this normal for one to be higher and lower and when I bend down and get up I feel something move as if its under my nipple

Thanks for posting your photos and sharing your story. First, congratulations! Second, yes - this is normal - especially this early on after breast surgery. I suggest discussing adding additional muscle relaxers and a breast compression band to improve the higher side. Talk to your plastic surgeon! Best wishes, Dr. Aldo

Dear mammybear,Thanks for your important question about breast augmentation.  At 9 days post surgery it is still early in the healing phase, but your left breast looks a bit higher than the right.  I would suggest close follow up with your plastic surgeon for an evaluation.Best wishes

Thank you for your question. It is not uncommon to have swelling. Breasts may not heal at the same rate, causing one breast to appear different than the other. It can take up to 12 weeks for the implants to settle and you to see the final result. Follow up with your board certified surgeon to address your concern. Good luck!

None days post  breast augmentation is too early to expect a final result. I would recommend that you contact  your board certified plastic surgeon to answer any post-operative questions as your surgeon will want to be aware that you have questions. Best of luck!

It takes several weeks for breast implants to settle and drop into the breast pocket.  It is not unusual for one breast to look different than the other at this early stage of healing.  A breast band may help, but you should ask your surgeon for advice and post operative instructions.
