I just had a ba 3 weeks ago and my breadts are very cone shaped. They are still tight, high, and hard to the touch. From the side it looks like a bump on the top then nothing on the bottom under the nipple. I was cleared to wear underwire bras and the bottom part does not fill out so they are very uncomfortable. How long does it take for them to even out? And will the bottom portion of my breast (under nipples) look larger than it does now? Thanks

Answer: Wait for some time The final appearance, shape, and movement are not exactly the same as normal breasts. The surgically enlarged breasts do not move in the same way as normal breasts. They tend to be firmer. The contours are usually somewhat different than normal breasts. In some patients these discrepancies may be rather noticeable. Although every effort is made to place the implants symmetrically, complete symmetry is rarely achieved. Immediately after surgery, the breasts are swollen and firmer. The final shape and size is approximated after 2 to 3 months, but up to one year may be required for the end result.

Answer: 3 weeks PostOp. Breasts look cone-shaped? Thank you for sharing your question and I can understand your current apprehension about your breast appearance. Immediately after surgery the swelling that takes place in your chest muscles and breast skin causes your implants to sit high and flat against your chest wall. This leaves the lower portion of your breasts looking empty. As this swelling resolves the volume within the implant will redistribute to the lower pole of your breasts, stretching out the skin and leaving you with a more natural result, and which fills out your bra cup. I know waiting is difficult, but hang in there, you should see a steady improvement in your appearance at about 6-8 weeks after surgery. Best wishes.

Answer: Breast shape after BA It will take several weeks to months for your implants to settle depending on the implant type and technique your surgeon used to place the implants. Usually at 3 weeks out they will be a little more settled than it sounds, but this process just takes longer in some patients than others. Continue to f/u with your surgeon and things will hopefully settle properly with time.

Answer: Breast augmentation: When do they settle and soften? The bump on the top is your implant. The skin under your breasts stretches and the implant settles about 1 percent a day for the first three months. Then the shaping and softening continues but much more slowly till about 9 to 12 months. So currently you are only about 15 percent settled, shaped and soft. Hope this information is reassuring. Be patient and good luck. For more information on this and similar topics, I recommend a plastic surgery Q&A book like "The Scoop On Breasts: A Plastic Surgeon Busts the Myths."
