I feel like my left boob isn't right, 1 month and 1 week since my surgery (Photo)

Question

It's been 1 month and 1 week since I've had my surgery. 2 weeks after I wore an underwire bra (I know bad idea). It pushed my left breast implant way up it hurt so bad I had to go to the hospital they gave me pain pills and sent me home. Ever since then my left boob hasn't dropped and when feeling it it does not feel round anymore. It feels hard and bumpy.

Dear Itsme2304,based on your photos, your breast implant is very high. I would suggest you to consult with your plastic surgeon.Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS

Hello and thank you for your question.  At five weeks, you should have better symmetry and the left breast implant is malpositioned in the implant pocket.  If it is a textured implant, it will be difficult to have it move lower.  Although wearing a bandeau velcro strap may be helpful, as will time, if it doesn't lower, a revision to physically move the implant lower in the pocket is indicated.  Return to your plastic surgeon for his/her recommendation and advice.  Best of luck.
Cheers,

I'm sorry to hear that your left breast implant has not dropped. Based on your photo the implant looks very high as you have noted.  I would urge you to see your plastic surgeon as soon as possible and ask if breast implant displacement exercises and possibly a bando can help bring the implant down.  If there is no further dropping over the next 2 months a small surgical revision may be necessary.
