I am 6 months post op, I had 350cc silicone implants over muscle. My cleavage skin area is raised & not flat. When i lay down it is flat and looks like i have two breasts whereas when i am standing the skin is raised and looks like my implants are close together like i have “uniboob”. When i press the area down it’s clear the implants are seperate, the skin flattens, then raises back up especially when i wear a support bra. My surgeon said it’ll go down, be patient but surely I am already healed?
