Post-op 2 weeks, 400cc submuscular. Wish I could say I'm satisfied. Will drop & "fluff"? Tight, high, small, odd-shaped. Dr said no larger cc, lack of tissue & chest cavity. A slight 25cc larger was attempted during surgery, wouldn't fit! Massaging 3-4 times/day, booband nightly. Left incision under breast - Inflamed/hard where stitches taken out. Nurse says Dr prob cut deeper into layers. I'm not certain it's going to heal nicely? Need others' expertise & opinions. Thanks for your time!

Answer: Two concerns - Size/shape and left breast incision! Thank you for your question and series of photographs. Without preoperative photographs to compare your current results you may have had a constricted breast crease that will need time to see if it relaxes. After placement of implants, your breasts will change dramatically over the next several months, as the implants drop, and the overlying tissues stretch to accommodate the extra volume. In your case the swelling from surgery is flattening your implants and holding them high on your chest. Though they will not get bigger, 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. As far as your incision it appears that you may have a developing suture related local infection termed a stitch abscess that your surgeon may want to treat in his office by removing the stitch. I know waiting is difficult, but judge your results at 4-6 months after surgery as most of your breast changes should have occurred by then. Hope this helps.

Answer: Concerns after breast augmentation Breast shape and size do change significantly following breast augmentation. For most patients, it takes about 3 months before the final shape can really be appreciated. Similarly, scar do mature with time. Though revision may still be necessary for your scar or breast shape, you will see significant improvement over the next few weeks to months so try to be patient. That is probably the hardest part of all.
