Hi, I am 40y and 6wks post op lift and augmentation with 285CC silicone implants. I l am satisfied with nipple position, upper pole fullness and scars....however I find my breasts lack volume on the sides. Would this be something a larger implant would resolve? What would help to improve this?

Answer: Breast side volume Hi. At six weeks postop, you can still expect that there will be some changes in the way your breasts look. Your implants will settle a little more over time, and this will likely fill in some of that area to the side of your breast. If, after this happens, you are still wanting more, then you will have to go with a larger or wider implant. Alternatively, fat transfer is a way to give more fullness in this area. I would give it a few months to see the final result from your recent surgery. After that, talk to your surgeon if you want to find the option that would be best for you. Good luck!

Answer: Implants You are very early in the healing phase and your implants have not yet dropped fully. It is too soon to be considering any revisions. Your implants will settle down and help fill in the area of concern. Once you reach 6 months, then talk to your surgeon about any concerns you have.
