Is this normal looking for 13 weeks post lollipop lift and implants?

Question

I had a lollipop lift and Inspira SRF 325 implants 13 weeks ago. I have been following my plastic surgeon’s orders, including vitamin E, massage 6x a day, wearing a strap & Singulair. I am not happy with the results as of now. They don’t seem much larger than they did before and they are so high. Is this normal looking for 13 weeks post surgery? I was hoping for nicer looking results at this point—larger and rounder. They haven’t changed much in 6 weeks.

Dear Mob1014,I understand your concern and it is quite normal to be concerned about the outcome following a breast augmentation surgery. However, you are still in the very early stages of the healing process.
Your will need to be patient at this moment and follow what your surgeon has instructed you to do post operatively.
At the early stage of the healing process, the tissues around the implants are still swollen. Once the swelling subsides and the implants drop to their final position, you will be able to see the final result of your breast augmentation surgery.Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS

although it has been 13 weeks, sometimes it takes 5-6mo for the implants to drop and "fluff" into final position. Be patient. If you were already >6mo PO, I would be a little more concerned.

Thank you for your question and photo's. For having an augmentation and lift, it takes longer for those implants to settle, they are still sitting high on your chest wall.  I would wait until you are 6 months out and follow up with your PS.

I am sorry that you are having issues about your procedure and thanks for sharing your question. I can appreciate your concern.
Your implants are high ridding, preventing you to have a rounder look to your breast. What you are seeing is the implant on top and the breast falling bellow. Once the implant descends you will have a more pleasing look.Finally, make sure that your doctor is aware of your process. He should be able to guide you best in your care.
Wishing you the best in your journey
