My right breast implant is squared at the bottom with a moderate dip on the side. Is this cause enough to be concerned? (Photos)

Question

I had my surgery 5 going on 6 weeks ago. The implants were placed in the subglandular position. The right breast is the breast that currently looks the worst. It's not rounded at the bottom and it has a dip to it. Is there reason to believe something is amiss. I will be meeting with my doctor next week and would like second opinions so I'm able to concisely broach my concerns.

Thank you for sharing your question and photographs.  It appears that your right breast tissue has yet to fully stretch with your new implants and this should improve over the next 4.5 months.  Remember it can take 6 months for a patient’s long-term results to be known.  Hope this helps.

Hello. Thank you for your inquiry and congratulations on your surgery!

It is important to have an in-person medical assessment regarding this issue as it is difficult to determine virtually. Continue to update your doctor in the matter and follow their post-op protocol.

It is crucial to get cleared by your doctor before engaging in specific physical activity before the 3 month healing period has ended as the healing stage is important for healthy results.

It generally takes around 6 months to a year to see your final results. Your tissues will take time to relax and allow your implants to "Drop and Fluff" settling into place. Should a revision cross your mind, it is best to wait at least 6 months to a year before doing so.

Our tips for recovery following breast augmentation are to wear a supportive sports bra for 3 months post-operative and refrain from lifting anything heavier than 10 lbs for 3 weeks as we don't want any strain at your incision sites. Make sure to keep the area of your stitches clean by cleansing with hydrogen peroxide daily. Showering is encouraged! But, no sitting in water for 2 weeks following surgery (no baths, hot tubs, pools etc.).
