Question

Im 5 weeks post op, i had my 16year old 525cc saline above the muscle replaced with 500cc silicone implants put under the muscle and a anchor lift. about 2 weeks ago i started getting this webbing between my breast. Will it go away with time? Is there anything i can do at this pointso it doesnt get worse?

It looks like you have lost the normal space that separates the two breasts. That is called symmastia which means the breasts come together. It is what you call webbing.It is hard and not proper to make a diagnosis based on pictures online. However if you do have symmastia then that will require another surgery to correct.

I am sorry to hear about your concerns after revisionary breast surgery. Unfortunately, online consultants will not be of much help when it comes to providing you with an accurate prediction and/or meaningful reassurance. Your plastic surgeon, knowing your situation best (and exactly what your  go "before/after" anatomy is  and what operation was performed) will be in the best position to provide you with specific advice, predictions, and/or meaningful reassurance. Best wishes.
