9 month post op breast implants - The left looks natural, the right looks like a round obvious implant. Revision needed? (photo)

Sirena1085Mar 7, 2019
This is a 9 month post op picture and to me they look very different. Will I need revision surgery? My breasts were tuberous prior to surgery. If I flex my chest a bump or bubble develops on my right breast. The left to me looks natural while the right looks like a round obvious implant. I don’t feel that they are going to get any better.

Feeling the edge of the implant is common, especially in thin tissue. Seeing the edge may be due to several factors- implant or capsule issues, movement, etc.An exam and consultation with your/a plastic surgeon is recommended to evaluate  as well as discuss your options and expectations.

Dear helenakill, you are still in early postoperative period and it is normal to feel sore when you apply pressure. Based on your description, it sounds like you are healing well and you should soon feel almost like prior to surgery. Daniel Barrett, MD Certified, American Board of Plastic...
