Can it be fixed? Its in the right breast only. Had a reduction and now have 475cc implants.

Robert Sleightholm, MD · Answer

Hello and thanks so much for your photos and question. Are your implants under the muscle? When implants are placed under the muscle, contracting the muscle can result in an undesirable breast shape while flexing. Perhaps you should visit your surgeons office as they will be happy to answer any of your questions or concerns. Best of luck!

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.).
