Thank you for your question and photographs, and it appears that you will have a very nice result. 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. At two months, your implants appear to be settling, with your left having dropped a bit sooner than your right. This is very common. I would anticipate your right breast implant to follow suit within the next several weeks. 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.
Thank you for your question.The two #breasts commonly heal quite differently. One breast may #swell more, feel more uncomfortable, or have a different initial #shape. Healing usually takes 2-3 months, but it may take up to a full year to see your final result. It takes time for the skin and muscle to stretch and relax around the new #implant. After complete healing, they will be more similar and natural. You must have patience, but if this causes concern, ask questions of your #boardcertified plastic surgeon.
It can take anywhere from 3-6 months for your breasts to fully heal and drop/settle into their final position and it is very common for each breast to drop/heal at a different rate. For now, be patient and if, at 3 months, you are still unhappy with how high the right breast is then schedule an appointment to see your surgeon. Best, Dr. Nazarian
Hello,You can expect the breasts to drop and fluff between 2-6 months post op so in that regard, you are still early. Hang in there,Take care
Hello, one thing in addition to the rest of the comments... obviously you need more time and massage... but if you fail to settle on the right...you will have to consider the possibility of an capsular contracture. Too early to say that now, but I mention it because there is a oral medication that you can take that has been shown to help with capsular contracture. I would discuss this further with your surgeon if you fail to see improvement in the next several months. Good Luck.
Thanks for the post. To echo what many other surgeons may be telling you, 2 months postoperatively is still a little early to make a final assessment of your aesthetic. The shape, size, and position of the breast will changes up 3-6 months after surgery. I recognize the waiting can be frustrating. Relay your concerns to your surgeon. He or she may offer some simple techniques (massage, garments, etc) in an attempt to move things along. Keep in mind also that breast augmentation is essentially two separate operations - one for the right and one for the left - that will heal at different rates. Give everything time to settle and you may find that your symmetry has improved. If 6 months go by and you are still displeased, you may discuss if revision might be appropriate for you. Good luck!
Thank you for your question and photo. Although it would be helpful to see a photo of you before your surgery, I notice that your right shoulder is higher than your left and the fold of the left breast is lower than that of the right. Even though you are only two months post-op, the crease of the right breast might need to be lowered to improve the asymmetry that you have now.All the best,Dr. ResultsMiami, FL
I appreciate your question.Right now, you are very early on in thepost op recovery period. It will take 3-6 months for you to feel comfortablehaving implants in your body and for them to settle. This time allows for youto physically and psychologically adapt to your new body image. There are manyvariables that contribute to a breast augmentation's final result. Preop sizeand shape, IMF location, location of the implants and type of implant. Patientsheal at different rates and each breast will sometimes heal at a differentrate. Rest, relax, recover and heal. Please Express your concerns to your surgeon sohe/she can examine you. Then reassess final result at 6 months.The best way to assess and give trueadvice would be an in-person exam.Please see a board-certified plasticsurgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative breast surgery.Best of luck!Dr. Schwartz
Hello ash. Thanks for your question. It is very early on in the process, so most likely an improvement could be seen in the next 4 to 6 months. In my opinion, patients do best with additional muscle relaxants, a compression bandage and massage. Poor implant position is a very common problem seen after breast augmentation independent of the operator, but looking at your preoperative photos might demonstrate that you had asymmetry before. Ask your plastic surgeon about non-surgical aids to improve the implant position, but revision surgery cannot be ruled out. No revision until 1 year. Best wishes, Dr. ALDO.
Thank you for your question. I will still change in the coming several weeks. I would recommend to wait 3-4 months and reevaluate.
Thank you for the question. Based on your photographs, I think that you are starting at a good place and should have a very nice outcome with breast augmentation surgery. There is no accurate/reliable/predictable correlation between size/profile breast implant utilized and cup size achieved....
Assuming that the fluttering you are feeling isn't in your heart, in which case see your primary physician immediately, then I would guess that it is due to muscle spasms. I would suggest that you schedule an appointment with your surgeon just to err on the side of caution. Best, Dr. Nazarian
I think that you are realistic to be concerned about bottoming out. It can happen. Although I think that implant size if more of a factor than implant type. I would definitely recommend that you discuss your concerns with your surgeon. Best, Dr. Nazarian
