Probably you must wait and give it more time to heal up, even if 
  I don’t think that the problem will improve much. Any solution has disadvantages. 
  The solution that I would prefer most would be to do a small mastopexy. If you 
  are not happy with the scars, the second solution would be to put a bigger 
  implant and one centimeter lower on the chest. Keep a good communication with 
  your doctor. If you listen to many different opinions you would probably be 
  confused. This happens because, as I told you, any solution has advantages and 
  disadvantages, so each surgeon may have a different 
  opinion.

Thank you for your question and photo.  At seven weeks post-op, you are still in the healing process which is too early to assess the final results of your surgery.  Instead, you should wait about three months before even considering a revision.  During this time, your breasts should settle into place and reduce in swelling.  Please be sure to closely follow the instructions of your operating surgeon regarding post-op care for optimal results.All the best,Dr. ResultsMiami, FL

Based on your pictures you have plenty of lower pole fullness. You would benefit most from a lift to bring your natural breast tissue on top of the implants to give you perky, fuller breasts. You could likely use a larger implant. I would discuss your concerns with your surgeon.  #PlasticSurgery #BreastAug #Implants #BreastImplants #choosingimplants #surgeryprep

You look like you might benefit from a small lift to achieve more upper pole fullness. Best of luck with your results.

Jeffrey Zwiren, MD · Answer

A larger implant or the use of a shaped anatomic implant may be beneficial.  The only other choice would be to consider a breast lift.  You had mild breast sagging preoperatively so your result was relatively predictable and overall not that bad.  Just may not be what your were expecting.
