I recently had a breast implant exchang with mastopexy. I noticed these ridges or pleats in medial portion of my breast. Are these normal? Do they go away with time?

Answer: Breast ridges after redo breasts augmentation Dear madam, Full front and side view pictures would have been very helpful. From observing your picture and noticing the high position of the implants, it appears that, indeed, you are very early in the healing process. I would recommend to wait 3-4 months , perform implants displacement massage and than reassess the situation. You did not provide information on the implants' pocket location. If yours are on top of the muscles and the problem persist after 3-4 months, consider placing the implants under the muscles, for better implants' coverage. Always, consult with experienced board certified plastic surgeons who operate in accredited surgery center for your safety. Most importantly, check the before and after pictures in the photo gallery, to make sure that they are numerous, consistent and attractive with nice cleavage, perky, symmetrical and natural looking. Best of luck, Dr Widder

Answer: Ridges and pleats in the skin after a recent breast lift with implant exchange, will they go away? Thank you for your picture and questions. From what I can tell, this is some stretching of the skin and is likely more prominent from the swelling. I would try to be patient and this will likely improve with time. Make sure you follow your surgeon's instructions. Hope this helps!
