I had very little breast tissue going into surgery. I had strong and firm pectoral muscles from lifting weights. Implants are still riding high and are firm. Left is noticebly bigger than right (more so in clothes) and nipples aren't even. Is this a normal result? When will they soften? 400cc round mentor high profile silicone in both.

Answer: Looks Good Be patient and try to remember what your breasts looked like 2 or 3 weeks ago! Progress is slow and steady up to 4 months or more.Right now your implants are conforming to the shape of your pre-op breast skin envelope. Later your breasts will take on the shape of the implants as the skin stretches.

Answer: 5 1/2 weeks post-op Thanks for writing,You are still in the early phase of healing. There is still swelling, skin tightness and the pectorals are tight. Many of your issues improve with time. TIME is you friend. Usually 4 - 6 months are necessary for the implants to settle, skin to relax and swelling to resolve, at that point your breasts will start to approaching the final look. For scars to maximally improve, get as good as they will ever get, can take up to 18 months. Stick with your Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, follow his / her instructions carefully and closely. You should do very well. Your Photos look good for 5 1/2 weeks, it appears your on target. Good LuckStephen M. Davis, MD, FACSGreen Hills Plastic Surgery
