How Long Before Breasts Look Normal After Implant Removal and Lift?

Only time will help with this situation. At least give this operation three months to heal in the tissue to soften. Then reevaluate if you still have a contour deformity of the breast. Follow closely with your plastic surgeon.

Good luck.

At this point, the best advice is to give it time to heal.  I would give it a minimum of 3 months.  If there is still an indentation at that time, you can consider fat transfer to fill in the indentation.

It is really difficult to imagine the current appearance, and photos would help with that. I can say that three weeks is quite early, and the final result can take from 6 to 12 months. If the indentation persists, fat injections may prove to be a useful fix for the problem. All the best. 

Despite good intentions, online consultants will not be able to provide you with very specific advice or information. However, you should have some peace of mind that  you have not seen the final results of the breast surgery performed at this stage. It may take several additional months, and even up to one year for you to see the final outcome of the surgery performed.

 I would suggest that you continue to exercise patience and continue to follow-up with your plastic surgeon who will be your best resource when it comes to specific information, advice, and/or reassurance.

 Best wishes.

Your nipple deformity after breast implant removal can be caused by many factors. There are lots  of information needed to answer your question. Where was the position of the implant? above or under the muscle? what incision was used for the first and second surgery? was the capsule totally removed? was the muscle reattached to the chest wall? If the incision was around the nipple , was the breast tissue closed in layers? what was the cause of seroma 5 years later? any testing?

The time it takes for breasts to look “normal” after implant removal and a breast lift can vary from person to person. It generally depends on several factors, including the individual’s body, the specific surgical procedure, and the surgeon’s skill. Recovery and healing may take several weeks, but it can take several months for the swelling to completely subside and for the scars to fade. It’s essential to follow your surgeon’s post-operative care instructions, wear any recommended compression garments, and attend follow-up appointments for a full assessment of your progress. Keep in mind that achieving the final result may take some time, and it’s important to be patient during the healing process. If you have concerns or questions, it’s best to consult with your surgeon for guidance.
