Rectangular Breasts? Normal? (photo)

When implants are first inserted, they sit high up because your tissues are tight and gravity hasn't taken effect. Over time, natural tissue expansion occurs to allow the implants to fall into place. By this time, your breasts will have taken on a more natural contour, where the lower breasts become softer and rounder. Please wait at least four months for this to happen.This process tends to occur sooner in one breast than the other, so don't be alarmed if you find that your left drops before the right or vice versa.

Thank you for your question.The final shape of your #breasts will start to
look its best approximately three months after #augmentation surgery. It takes time for
the skin and muscle to stretch and relax around the new #implant. The breast will
often look higher, firmer, and “less natural” in the first three months. It
can take up to a year to see your final result. Have patience!

The implants look abnormal because they are too high on the chest wall. By now they should have settled. You should check with your surgeon.

This may take soem time to resolve and may not fully because thiose are large impalnts for your body frame and I always tell my patients you can';t put a gallon of milk intop a quart container.Massage and maybe a compression strap across the top may help.

Dear Agionet,

Thank you for your post.  Your implants are way to high right now causing a squarish look.  They will hopefully fall over the next few months.  If they do not then a revision can get you the desired look.

Best wishes,

Implants palced under the muscle that are very large may take a while to come back down. This can take 3-4 months for some.

Comparing the before posted photo to the afters you had a severe asymmetry and the result looks very good in my opinion. 

Your implants are in a high position which is not unusual after a submuscular breast augmentation.  You have a condition known as pseudoglandular ptosis where the breast tissue seems to fall off of the top of the implant.  This can improve as the implant drops.  Continue massage of the implant and stretching excises to allow the muscle to stretch out over the implant.  If the implants do not drop over the next 3 months you may need an inferior capsulectomy.  

Your picture shows that the implants are still high.  I tell all my submuscular BAM patients  that on average the implants start to drop on the third or fourth week post op.n  Therefore, nothing to worry about.

It is quite common for large under the muscle implants to appear to be high-riding for up to 3 to 6 months. The appearance in the photos may be exaggerated by the fact that your arms are partially elevated. 

Massage and a pectoral strap may help speed up the process. All the best.
