My Breast Look Square and High Up After Breast Augmentation? (photo)

Thank you for the photo. Only one week out, it is very hard to say anything about the final outcome. Breast implants tend to start dropping into place after 3 to 4 weeks. They usually will get to their final position in 6 to 12 months. One will drop faster than the other, also the shape may go through changes. Please follow your Board Certified Plastic Surgeon's post op instructions. We like message, but some surgeons will have you wait, or do it in a specific manner.  Please also let them know your thoughts and concerns.

Thank you for your question. Your postoperative photographs are certainly
very helpful. My advice is to wait 4 to 6
months prior to considering a "final" result. I wish you the best of luck.

The period of time immediately following breast augmentation
surgery is characterized by rapid change. During this dynamic phase of healing,
swelling, muscle spasm and the healing process itself, all contribute to
changes in the appearance of a woman’s breasts.In some cases, swelling and muscle spasm can displace breast implants in
a superior direction when implants are placed beneath the muscle.Based on your pictures, I believe this is a
distinct possibility.In some
cases, superior implant displacement may be due to inadequate pocket
dissection.When the muscle insertions
of the inferior pocket aren’t adequately separated, the implant is often
superiorly malpositioned.At this point
in time, there’s no evidence to suggest that this has occurred in this
particular case. With
time, assuming adequate pocket dissection, these implants might return to a
more normal position.Sometimes, the use
of massage and a superior bandeau may facilitate the process.It may take 3 to 6 months for these implants
to drop into a normal position.If no
progress has occurred by then, revisional surgery may be necessary.This would involve recreating the lower
portions of the breast pocket.It’s
important to have good communication with your plastic surgeon.Make sure he is aware of your concerns.He is familiar with the specifics of your
surgery and will be able to give you appropriate direction.
