What can I do to improve the shape of my breast after breast augmentation? My doctor let me go braless, but I doubt this (Photo)

Question

This is my 7th day post breast augmentation surgery.I regret-do not like the result and the size.Starting with 325cc with my first consulted PS and finished with 400cc-my current PS - he said I can go big because I have wide arms). His advise is to go bra less post surgery. Also my breasts are distant to each other and implants almost under my arms. Please advise what can I do to improve the shape of my breast and how much smaller will they be in couple of months when swelling will go down?

You are still very early in the healing process. You have to give it time to settle and to allow for the swelling to subside.

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 important 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 crucial 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.
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.).
