I am 5 1/2 weeks post breast augmentation. I was a large A small B before operation. I am 5’5 and 130 lbs. I got saline 600cc mentor implants under muscle with the transaux incision. My dr seemed a little concerned at my 1 month check up that they were still riding high. Told me to go braless as much as possible and heavily massage 5-7 times a day. They are changing and getting softer but still very high and nipples low. I’m getting nervous I’ll have to have a revision. Does this look normal?
