I had breast augmentation 2 weeks ago. 450 cc silicone under the muscle. My boobs are weird looking and they haven't dropped yet. Should I be worried or do I need to give it more time?
Answer: 2 weeks post op, some advices: Thanks for the questionIts too early to talk about results. In my practice, after performing a BA I recommend to my patients to limit the movement of the arms for two weeks. After that, you can move your arms taking care and always with common sense. In this regard, it's not advisable to carry heavy weights to prevent the implant out of position, and allow the formation of the physiological capsule around the implant, also to avoid pain and breast swelling.Kind regards, Dr. Emmanuel Mallol.-

Answer: BA The skin envelope will continue to stretch with the new implants over the next few months. You can consider wearing a bandeau across the top of your chest to gently push the implants down with the consent of your surgeon.

Answer: Dropping Implants Thank you for your question and congratulations on your recent procedure! You are still very early in the healing process and will begin to see change in the next few weeks as the tissue continues to soften allowing the implants to "drop." It's best to continue your daily massaging and stretches. The implants will begin to feel more natural and a part of you around the 3 month mark. Good luck and congratulations again!

Answer: Breast implants dropping You are early in your recovery. It takes some time for the breast tissues to expand and allow the implants to fill the lower part of the breast.As others have said, the time that this process takes varies from patient to patient but sometimes it can take months.Alert your surgeon to your concerns so that they can help you along during this early phase.I am sure you will have an awesome result.

Answer: Breast Augmentation / Breast Implants / Anatomic Gummy Bear Implants/ Silicone Implants/ Revision Breast Surgery 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 at this time. 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!Dr. Schwartz
