12 Days Post Op, is It Normal? (photo)

It will take several months for the swelling to go down and the tissue to stretch.  It appears that you have some bruising indicating that there may have been some bleeding in the pocket after surgery.  This will also make you more swollen for a longer period of time.  I would continue to follow up with your surgeon, but wait for 3 to 6 months before deciding to do anything from a revision standpoint.

Hello,

Thank you for sharing your photo along with your post.

Based on the information you have provided and being 12 days post-op, it is too early to judge the results of your surgery.

The swelling you are expressing is common as well as the riding of the implants.

It is not fair to say that the size of the implants may have been a little larger than what you may have needed since swelling did not subside yet.

So at this point, I recommend that you be patient and follow your surgeon's instructions religiously.

Should you become uncomfortable with your end results after you have fully recovered, a revision could be planned.

That being said, please remember that commendable results require an exceptionally skilled surgeon to perform the surgery and settling for anything less than that increases the chances of additional corrective surgeries dramatically.
I hope this helps and please feel free to check the website below.

Thank you for your inquiry.
The best of luck to you.

Dr. Sajjadian
