Bottoming out? Will running worsen it? 7 weeks post op. (photos)

September 12, 2017
Asked By:RunnerLady123 in Glendale, AZ

I am 7 weeks post op. I understand it's early and I would need to wait till 6 months until everything settles. I still question if my right breast is bottoming out (especially with how much the implant drops below the nipple and incision when my arms are raised), and if running will worsen it. I started running 30-40 mins this last week. I am following up w/my doctor, but extra opinions are greatly appreciated. 125 lbs / 5'5 / prior A cup / 350 CC Mentor smooth round / under muscle
