Hi guys:) so I had a breast augmentation 5 days ago and I notice that on my breast that isn’t dropping as fast (normal, I’m aware), I can feel the edge of the implant. When poked it feels like I’m poking a piece of plastic and a shooting pain comes slightly. Is this normal? Will it go away? My surgeon is 5 hrs away so I am hesitant about going to get checked if it is normal. I have saline 390cc under muscle/under breast fold incision. Can only be felt on one side.

As others suggested, it's way too early and it can take 3 months to see the final results. Early after breast augmentation, implants tend to sit high on the chest

Answer: BA results Dear sarahha123,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 5 days 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, MD
