I have 375cc mod + and I'm only 4 days post op, but already I'm extremely unhappy with my results. All I see when I look in the mirror are breasts that resemble cones. Are my nipples sitting too low? Why are my breasts so pointy? Will this correct itself and will they become more round as they heal? Also it doesn't really appear that I have any curvature/sideboob or lower pole fullness. My breasts just appear to project straight off my chest, like torpedoes. Please help, I'm not happy with my results. :(
Answer: Why do I have pointy breast? Why do I have pointy breast? Well, you just had surgery four days ago and that is the most common reason why you have pointy breast! Breast implants will rapidly expand and push your breasts forward and the swelling makes it worse. Fortunately for you, the vast majority of the excessive projection in the nipple area will dissipate and in a few days the rest of your breast tissues will catch up. This will likely result in a very round and beautiful breast in a matter of a few weeks! However, at four days from your surgery You should most likely spend time following your doctor’s instructions and not to fall into the trap of prematurely judging the final result of the operation! By the way, the final result of your breast implants will occur 12 months after your surgeryCongratulations on your recent breast augmentation I wish for you the very best recovery in the near future!

Answer: Breast augmentation recovery You are still very early on in the healing process and are experiencing swelling of breasts and nipples.A lot of this is due to swelling which can cause the ducts to be swollen shut causing a back up in the system if you will. It takes time for everything to go back to normal and the nipples should settle around 3 months

Answer: Breast Enhancement Surgery I have really started to appreciate lately that the areola projects out for a while after breast augmentation and this contributes to the pointy or cone like appearance most likely due to the ducts being blocked. I now tell people about this. It almost always settles with time. Hang in!

Answer: Pointy breasts Based on your picture, I am assuming that you had more than a breast augmentation. It looks like you had some kind of crescent or peri-areolar breast lift to elevate your nipple/areola on each side. Also, I am assuming that your breast implants were placed under your chest muscle. After breast implant surgery when the implants are below the chest muscle, the muscle will contract upwards, making you look fuller in the upper portion of your breasts. It takes awhile for the muscle to relax and allow the implants to settle. Since you are only four days post-op, you also have some swelling. I tell my patients that I don't really look for my final results after a breast lift or breast augmentation under the muscle for three months. It just takes that long for the muscle to stretch and relax, the tissues to settle, the swelling to go away, and for you to get used to the changes in your breasts. Although you said you are not happy with your results at the present time, my advice is to wait for three months to pass before you decide whether or not to do something further.
