I had BA surgery 4weeks ago and recently I can feel that there are two folds on both of my upper corner and lower corner of right breast. They are not visible but I can definitely feel them. I have a slightly bigger gap between my breasts and I can tell that the porcket on right side is slightly smaller (not very visible). It bothers me so much now and I am wondering is there anyway I can get rid of these folds without a revision surgery?
Answer: Postop Breast Augmentation Chloe. I understand your concern, but way too early in your postop course to worry. You need to heal and your body adjust to your implants. Keep in touch with your surgeon, good luck!

Answer: Implant displacement massage Dear Chloe, Front and side view pictures would have been very helpful. Since you asked about non surgical method to improve on your condition, I would recommend intense implants displacement massage that hopefully, will stretch your capsule and let the implants settle in a natural way. If after 2-3 months of implants displacement massage , no improvement occurs, consideration should be given to revision surgery, since your condition is bothering you so much. Most likely, capsulotomy (scar release ) will be necessary to help the implants to settle down. Obviously, your best option is always to discuss it with surgeon who knows you and your surgery best. All the best, Dr Widder

Answer: Can feel the implant Thank you for your question. One month post op is too soon to evaluate the final "settling" of your implants. Best to wait a full 4-6 months before considering a final result. I wish you good luck.

Answer: Drop & Fluff Hello,Thank you for your question. As others have stated- without an exam or photos it is difficult to comment meaningfully on your situation. At one month post op, tissues can be tight still and implants displaced up and outward slightly. Contours are expected to change as tissues soften, swelling resolves and implants drop and fluff. I recommend that you speak with your Plastic Surgeon in person to assess your progress.All the best

Answer: I can feel implant folds on both upper inner corner and lower inner corner, what should I do? Thank you for your question and I am sorry that your current result has caused you concern. After placement of implants, the overall 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. In your case the swelling from surgery is flattening your implants and holding them high on your chest, likely causing the palpability of the implant along both inner aspects of your breasts. As your swelling resolves, the volume within the implant will redistribute towards the lower portion of your breast achieving a more natural appearance and will likely improve this feeling of folds. 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.
