Thanks for your question! Based upon your photos (thanks for sharing them!) and my experience of doing thousands of breast augmentation surgeries, I think that “dent” is just a variant of normal, & will probably resolve over time. If not, it can probably easily be corrected with an in office fat grafting procedkre. I’d give it at least 6 months to resolve on its own though. Best of luck to you!
From your photos, it appears that you are seeing the border of your pectoralis muscle where it was released during the surgery. It is likely becoming more visible as your swelling improves. The overall shape and size of the breast will change in the first 6-8 weeks after surgery. Be patient overall, but check in with your PS for a more detailed exam and evaluation.Best of luck
Without an in-person examination, it is really hard to know exactly what is going on. You are also very early in your healing period and so your appearance may change over time and this can soften.At this point, I encourage you to follow the recommendations of the Plastic Surgeon who actually performed your surgery and be patient. I hope that helps and wish you the very best!Warmest regards,Gregory A Buford MD FACSBoard Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author
Dear Loveme_2018,I understand your concern and it is quite normal to be concerned about the outcome following a breast augmentation surgery. However, you are still in the very early stages of the healing process at 9 weeks post op.Your will need to be patient at this moment and follow what your surgeon has instructed you to do post operatively.At the early stage of the healing process, the tissues around the implants are still swollen. Once the swelling subsides and the implants drop to their final position, you will be able to see the final result of your breast augmentation surgery.Daniel Barrett, MDCertified, American Board of Plastic SurgeryMember, American Society of Plastic SurgeryMember, American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery
Not sure what is causing this dent high in your cleavage. I would give it a few months to see if it corrects itself. If required, I think a small amount of fat grafting to the area would resolve the issue. Good luck.
It is still early in recovery but I would definitely go in to your plastic surgeon and have them take a look. Depending on what they think it is - a band of pectoralis muscle, etc. it may resolve with limited intervention.
Final breast shape can take 3 months or more as breast swelling resolves and skin and muscle relax. This 'dent' may resolve with just time. if it does not resolve after six months it may be addressed by fat grafting or release of a pectoralis muscle band. Both of which are short procedures with limited recovery. Best of luck with continued recovery. Raymond Jean MD Board Certified Plastic Surgeon Bryn Mawr, Philadelphia PA
Thank you for your question. I see the dent and you are still healing phase. I recommend you to follow instructions from your PS and re evaluate in 3 months. Please talk to your PS for clarification.
Thanks for your post. I think what you are seeing is just a band of muscle tissue (if your implant are under the muscle). This may still work itself out over the next few months as your tissues become more used to the implant. If it does not, this could be revised by releasing some more of the muscle, but it requires surgery. Best wishes
While you should be healed up fine after 6 months post breast augmentation, I would recommend waiting until after having your baby to get breast implants. This is because pregnancy and breastfeeding can alter the size and shape of your breasts, which may then require revision surgery. You can ...
Hello,HP implants are frequently chosen because of the assumption they will produce the most upper pole fulness. However, this is not always the case, due to unpredictable phenomenon like tissue over-expansion and implant dropout, leaving women with little fulness on top. The only thing HP ...
The best way to pick implant size is based on your breast and chest width and not the volume. As the implants get bigger, they get wider. When the width of the implant fits the width of your chest, it will look nice and fit your frame. If the implants are too small, you will have a gap between...
