I am 4 weeks post op, my breasts are still very high and tight, I have consulted with my PS, but their advice didn't sound very helpful, I am wanting opinions of other doctors. Thanks!
Answer: Too early to judge outcome At this point in your recovery, it is much too soon to be worried about the outcome. It takes time for the implants to settle into position and the skin and muscle to stretch out to accommodate the new implant. It may be 6 months or more before the shape has reached its final look. Be patient.

Answer: Breast implants after breast augmentation It takes time for smooth implants to settle. If they are textured they may not move. Smooth implants especially saline settle and are amenable to superior pole massage to help lower them. A superior breast band can be helpful. See your plastic surgeon for his advice. Good luck..

Answer: Summary of Healing Process HEALING OF SENSORY NERVES: Tingling, burning or shooting pains, which will disappear with time and should not alarm you, indicate regeneration of the sensory nerves. If these sensations cause pain, repeated, local self-massage helps.

Answer: 4 weeks post op, breasts still very high and tight, is this normal? Thank you for your question and photographs. In a word, yes your current appearance is very normal. After placement of implants, the overall appearance of the breasts will change dramatically over the next several months, as the implants drop, and the overlying tissue stretches to accommodate the extra volume. In your case the swelling from surgery is flattening your implants and holding them high on your chest. Though they will not get bigger, the volume within the implant will redistribute towards the lower portion of your breast achieving a more natural appearance, and filling your bra cup more. I know waiting is difficult, but judge your results at 4-6 months after surgery as most of your breast changes should have occurred by then. Hope this helps.
