Hello, I am 27 yrs old, 169 lbs had small B cup breast. Got 500 cc Left/525 Right Saline Implants, under the muscle, areola incision. I am 1 week post op. I seem to be unhappy with the fact that they look pointy from a side view and wish they were closer together to give me more cleavage. Is it normal they are pointy? Will they stay in that pointy shape? Is there any messages I can do? I would hate to get surgery again to fix this :-(
Answer: Pointy breast Hi thank you for your question.

Answer: Swelling is normal after any type of surgery Hi,You are most likely experiencing post op swelling. I see your Dr. made an incision on your areola so this is very likely the cause of your 'pointy nipples'. You should see a gradual improvement in the months to come. I would also recommend you wear some type of bra when you sleep from now on to keep the implants from falling away from the center of your chest. When standing gravity will pull the implants down and when lying down on your back - gravity will pull them to the sides of your chest. Just fyi, so you can be proactive in prolonging your results. Best wishes to you.

Answer: Pointy breast after BA Thank you for your question and sending pictures. I wish you'd also sent some preop pictures for me to evaluate the shape of your pre op breasts. With that said my advice to you is be patient. Your breasts look good. Most likely in the next 6 to 8 weeks everything will settle and your breasts will look perfectly fine. Just follow your surgeon's instructions and voice any of your concerns to them. Good luck

Answer: Why are my breasts pointy after Breast augmentation HI suckerpunch, You are too soon after surgery to make a final judgment on the way your breasts will look. Just give it a bit of time and let the swelling go down. Ask your surgeon what you can do to push the breasts together after the swelling begins to go down. Sometime a bit of massage inward will help. There are also some bras that help as well to push the breasts in and up.Hope this helps.Best, Dr. Christine Rodgers

Answer: Looking good after breast augmentation The photos you submitted look fine for one week post-op. The breasts will soften, and likely round out, as time passes. Your breasts will also look closer together as time passes, with deeper cleavage. Due to swelling and tension on the skin from the new implants, the skin lifts off the sternum, or chest bone. Put your fingers on your chest bone above your breasts and slide them down, pushing the skin against the bone. Do this a few times, and you'll see that the breasts look closer together and the cleavage looks deeper. With time, the skin will drop down to the chestbone again, and I expect that you'll look great!
