Your shape is entirely normal for this point in your recovery. Your breasts will indeed round out as time goes by. Complete healing takes 6-12 months, as scars need that long to soften, fade, and mature. Stretch definitely occurs as this happens with the internal scars as well as the external ones.You need not worry at all; it looks like your surgeon did a fine job! Best wishes! Dr. Tholen
Hi SxSoonTj,Thanks foryour question and photos. All breast round out to some degree after a lift as gravity ALWAYS win. Be patient. Some patients take days while others take months for the breast to round. It is a goal of a short scar breast lift to flatten the breast so that with time they round out and do not sag. Good Luck and congratulations on your outcome so far!All thebest,Carlos MataMD, MBA, FACS@breastlift @tummytuck facebook@breastdoctortwitter@docmata instagram#drcarlosmataBoardCertified Plastic Surgeon
Hello,Your breasts will round out significantly over the next three months, which at least how long it takes to fully heal. Best of luck!
Thank you for your question about recovery from breast lift. Thank you for pictures. Looks good.At 3 weeks, you are still very early in the healing process. Your results are likely to improve over the next 6 weeks to 3 months.A breast lift does not give superior fullness; breast implants are usually required for superior fullness.For specific questions like this and about your recovery in general, it is best to speak directly with your doctor or doctor’s representative – such as his or her nurse, or the physician on call for the practice.You will likely get many differing opinions from members of the RealSelf Community, but they have not physically seen or examined you. Nobody should know you or your unique set of circumstances better than your doctor.If you feel you are not being listened to or you are doubting your doctor’s recommendations, then it is certainly within your rights to seek a second opinion and get the advice from another board certified physician. This should be done through an in-person consultation with a thorough evaluation, including a review of your history, review of all prior treatment and with a physical examination.Obviously, if you think that you are having a medical emergency or other serious problem, you should call 911 and/or go to your nearest emergency room.Best Wishes.
Thank for your inquiry and yes, you should expect rounding out of your breast as the swelling decreases. Your result appears typical for three weeks and make sure you are seeing your doctor regularly to guide you with woundcare, bras, and activity. Good Luck.
