I have noticed a a difference between breast. I have taken pictures if them. I also talked to my PS about this and he says not to worry, to give it time. I feel like something is wrong. It's the right one that worries me. The implant has also shifted higher than it was? Please help.
Answer: High Riding Implants Can Cause Snoopy Deformity Early After Breast Augmentation A "snoopy deformity" is a term used to describe the appearance of the breast from the lateral view after breast augmentation surgery. It is usually caused by drooping of the breast tissue over the implant early after surgery. This typically occurs in patients who have a mild to moderate degree of breast ptosis and undergo breast augmentation without a mastopexy. In cases of mild ptosis a moderate to large size implant can correct the breast ptosis by restoring breast volume as long as the nipple position is not too low. In some cases it can also occur if the inferior aspect of the pocket is not dissected enought. I would recommend wearing a breast band to help the implant assume its final position more quickly. These can be ordered on line from compression garment companies. In many cases this will solve the problem. If still present after regular use of the band for several weeks, you should discuss your progress further with your surgeon again. Good luck with your recovery!

Answer: High implants It does appear that the implant is riding high, although it is still too early to determine your final results since it takes a few months for the implants to descend. You may want to consider discussing your concerns with your plastic surgeon as well as options such as downward massages or the use of a breast band to help push the implant down.
