BA 2 weeks post-op Anatomical Implants (photo)

Thank you for your question and for sharing your photograph.  It looks as if you have obtained a very nice result. Though anatomical implants do not "drop" to the same degree as round implants, you will see some continued changes to your breasts as swelling resolves and the overlying skin stretches to accommodate your increased volume.  Hope this helps.

Thanks for the question. Its too early to talk about final 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.Respectfully,Dr. Emmanuel Mallol.-

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. Express your concerns to your surgeon so
he/she can examine you. 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!

     You appear to have a good result at only 2 weeks after your augmentation.  Anatomical shaped implants are also textured implants and will not drop the same as smooth round implants, so do not expect too much change in position.  Everything looks good at present.

Breast implants always sit a little bit too high when they are first placed.  With time, as the muscle relaxes and as gravity takes effect they will settle and your skin will adapt to accommodate them.  The texture implants, and especially the anatomic ones, drop less than smooth implants.  Most implants take approximately three months to fully settle - essentially what you have at three months is likely what your final result will look like.Your photos show that you are off to a very good start.  The overall shape and symmetry look good and it is a nice size for your frame.  You have some mild nipple asymmetry, in that you left nipple sits very slightly higher than your right.  You probably had that preoperatively.  I would imagine that these will settle nicely, not drop too much lower, the skin will relax a bit with time and become less shiny and you will be quite happy with this result.

You are two weeks out from surgery, it is still very early in the healing process. They will change a bit more with time. Best of luck.

Appears your pre operative asymmetry is now magnified by the implants! Was the not discussed in your pre op visits as a high potential of occurring?

You have a lovely early result, which will improve over the coming months - soften up and the skin will not be so shiny and will relax more.

Thank you for your question.  Her result looks excellent this early at 2 weeks after breast augmentation.  The shiny appearance is simply swelling on that side and I would not be concerned.  This is not your final result.  The breasts will change to accommodate the implants and you will look much more natural after another 6-8 weeks.
