6 months post mommy makeover - should I be concerned about my breast shape? (photos)

Question

I had a mommy make over July 2022, and just hitting the 6 month mark. Everything seems great except for my breast. I had 450cc put in and just last month my nipples started "wandering" and the only way i get any shape is if i stay in the same underwire bra for days but they quickly want to go back to this weird look just in the time it takessme to shower. Is it nornal?

Chul Hwan Seul, MD, PhD · Answer

The wire of the bra you were using was too narrow, so the implant was pushed inward and the nipple was moved outward. It can be seen that the movement of the implant and the movement of the nipple are in opposite directions. Don't squeeze your chest anymore. If you continue to gather, a condition called "symmastia" will occur where both implant spaces are merged into one, the nipple will be pushed more outwards and the shape will become more strange.

I encourage you to visit with your surgeon for an evaluation.  At six months post op you are seeing your final results. Pre operative photos or an exam would be needed to comment on specific changes, but it does appear you would benefit from a revision for improved shape.

Derek Fletcher, MD · Answer

Please post standard before photos and initial post operative photos (frontal, oblique, and lateral views). Also, please answer the following questions: 1. Implant position (sub glandular vs. sub muscular); 2. What type of implant (smooth round, textured round, textured anatomic); 3. Over the course of the past 6 months, was there a time when your implants had dropped and fully filled out your lower breast?

Dear Exuberant829,
I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what went wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.

Showing your before photo would be very helpful. However, I think this size is a bit large for your base and is pushing inward as it pushes your breast outward. Also, you have a little bottoming out on one size from the weight.
