My right breast is making me discouraged... It hasnt dropped like my left one and is sticking into my armpit and causing discomfort. Does it look normal? Will it eventually drop like the left one has? Righty is higher and more narrow than Lefty since I woke up from surgery and I haven't noticed much change. My PS doesn't believe in massage or the band. He said just leave it alone. I'm just worried because it's so high in my armpit that it won't drop.
Answer: Too early to tell... At only nine days after surgery, it's way too early to assess implant shape or position. You are still swollen and the tissues are still tight. You have to give it time, and let it all settle down. This can take several months. Hang in there!

Answer: Too early for it to drop! Thanks so much for this question. The breast implants will not drop this soon. It will take time before the tissue stretches out to accommodate your new breast implants. The bump is your breast implant - the tissue up high and down low on the side of the breast has stretched nicely, but you have a section that looks tight - and this is normal. I suggest you follow up with your plastic surgeon and learn techniques to help with the drop and fluff effect. Best, Dr. ALDO

Answer: Breast Augmentation - Post Op Swelling? Thank you for your question. You are still early in the post-operative period. It typically takes 3 - 6 months for the swelling to subside and and implants to settle into proper position. Please discuss your concerns with your board certified plastic surgeon. Also, make sure you follow all of your plastic surgeons post-operative instructions regarding level of physical activity and use of a support bra. Hope this helps and good luck with your recovery.
