1 week post op. I'm 5'7 with 700 cc submuscular silicone implants. Does this look normal? (Photo)

Immediately after surgery, the area will look swollen and the implants will ride high. Wait at least 4-6 months and allow things to settle prior to properly evaluating your result. Discuss your concerns with your surgeon.Follow instructions and keep your postop appointments. Don't get discouraged at this time, it should get better.Good luck.

Thanks for the question. Its early to talk about results. In my practice, after performing a BA I recommend to my patients to limit the movement of the arms for two weeks. After that, you can move your arms taking care and always with common sense. In this regard, it's not advisable to carry heavy weights to prevent the implant out of position, and allow the formation of the physiological capsule around the implant, also to avoid pain and breast swelling. Kind regards

Your implants will probably come down over the next few days or weeks. I do not know if they will ever get low enough considering the low position of your nipples before surgery. You likely will need a lift at some point. Good luck.

As others have mentioned, this is much too early to judge.  Implant position may settle for up to six months.  However, if I had to make an educated guess, I suspect you may benefit from a slight lift as well.  If the implant does not settle after six months, this can always be performed at a later time.  In the meantime, keep in close contact with your surgeon to evaluate your progress.Best of luck!

You are very early in your healing process so just give your body time to heal. Remember that implants tend to sit high initially but will drop and settle over the next several weeks to months. If you are still nervous, best to see your operating surgeon so you can be properly reassured. Good luck!
