High Profile 425cc under muscle. 7 days post-op. When should I start seeing a change?

Dear edvina1988,I understand your concern and it is quite normal to be concerned about the outcome following a breast augmentation surgery. However, you are still in the very early stages of the healing process.Your will need to be patient at this moment and follow what your surgeon has instructed you to do post operatively.At the early stage of the healing process, the tissues around the implants are still swollen. Once the swelling subsides and the implants drop to their final position, you will be able to see the final result of your breast augmentation surgery.Daniel Barrett, MD

Thank you for your question. You are still very early in recovery process and you can expect your breasts to change significantly over the next several weeks and months. The implants will continue to drop and settle in place on the chest in the upcoming weeks. Always contact and keep in communication with your surgeon, as he/she may have specific instructions for your recovery. Be patient with the process and know that your results will continue to change and progress over time. Best of luck!

Thank you for your question and best wishes on a continued smooth recovery. After placement of implants, the appearance of the breasts will change dramatically over the next several months, as the implants drop, and the overlying tissue stretches to accommodate the extra volume. Currently the swelling from surgery is flattening your implants and holding them high on your chest.  As this swelling resolves, the volume within the implant will redistribute towards the lower portion of your breast achieving a more natural appearance, and filling your bra cup more.  This initial dropping takes 6-8 weeks for most patients and up to 4-6 months for your final results. Hope this helps.
