Will my implants come closer together? (Photo)

Thank you for your question and photo.  I am with those that have told you that you need to wait about three months before assessing the results of your surgery.  At only one week post-op, it is far too soon as your breasts are swollen and sitting high on your chest wall.  With time, they should drop into place.  However, you implants will most likely not come closer together.  Your cleavage remains unchanged after a breast augmentation and the distance between the breasts does not change.  All the best,Dr. ResultsMiami, FL

Hi thereThanks for your commentsIt is a little early to comment on the final result and you will notice many changes over the next 3-6 months.Over time your breast will become softer and they will become more mobile too. As I am sure your surgeon mentioned, if you have a wider sternum pre-operatively, then this will still remain post-operatively. Having said that, by enlarging the breasts, your cleavage will improve, especially when you go into normal bras.Good luck with your recovery

I appreciate your question.



Right now, you are very early on in the
post op recovery period. It will take 3-6 months for you to feel comfortable
having implants in your body and for them to settle. This time allows for you
to physically and psychologically adapt to your new body image. There are many
variables that contribute to a breast augmentation's final result. Preop size
and shape, IMF location, location of the implants and type of implant. Patients
heal at different rates and each breast will sometimes heal at a different
rate. Rest, relax, recover and heal. Please Express your concerns to your surgeon so
he/she can examine you. Then reassess final result at 6 months.



The best way to assess and give true
advice would be an in-person exam.

Please see a board-certified plastic
surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative breast surgery.



Best of luck!

Hello and thanks for your question  You are still very early in the post operative period and your implants have most likely not completely "dropped" into their final positions. It' hard to tell exact implant position from the photo you've included. Final appearance can take up to three months. In the mean time, I would review your concerns with your plastic surgeon. Use of massage exercises and elastic bands can be helpful. As far as post op pain, there is a huge variation in severity from patient to patient and what you have experienced is not unusual. Best of luck.

Congratulations on your surgery! At just 5 days post op, it's too soon to worry about the appearance of your breasts.  Over the next several months, your implants will drop and fill out the lower portion your breast changing the shape.  When you place your implants, they need to be centered behind your nipples. Placing them too close will cause your nipples to face outward instead of forward which is not ideal aesthetically.  With that said, try not to worry and give it a few months to see how they settle and re-evaluate at that time. ac
