I am 16 DPO with Allergan 410 FX 315cc implants. My left is still sore and seems to be more swollen and tight. My right feels pretty normal, softer and smaller. My question is will my breast grow closer together as my implants drop and fluff?
Answer: Breast Augmentation - Will my breasts grow closer together? Thank you for your question and congratulations on your breast augmentation.You are still very early in the healing process and, if your implants were placed in the sub-muscular position, they have not yet had enough time to drop and settle into their final position. When you have allowed enough time for your implants to fully settle (3-4 months) you might feel as though your implants seem 'closer' than they do currently. With that said, and as depicted in the pre-op photos you included, you had some distance between your breast pre-operatively that will remain present and unchanged as a result of your surgery. A patients pre-op anatomy will largely dictate the amount of cleavage a patient can expect to achieve from a breast augmentation alone, as nipple placement and intra-mammary distance cannot be altered. I would recommend following up with your operating surgeon to discuss your progress thus far. I wish you all the best and hope that you find this helpful!

Answer: Give your breasts some time to settle and heal. As you are very early on in the healing process, it is likely that your breasts will change over the coming months. Although breast implants do “settle,” keep in mind the distance between the breasts seen pre-operatively will not change following breast augmentation. My advice to you is to have patience, wait for your body to recover and see how you feel about your breast implants in about 3 to 6 months. If you have any concerns, you should contact your plastic surgeon for advice on how to proceed.

Answer: Will my breasts grow closer together? Your breasts will not move closer together over time. The footprint of your breasts and where the implants are placed determine the amount of cleavage following breast augmentation.

Answer: Will my breast grow closer together? Hi there, Thank you for your question. At 16 days post op your breasts are healing at different rates. It appears as though you are healing well, assess the results at 3-6 months. The breasts will get somewhat closer together as they "fluff". If you have any concerns please speak with your plastic surgeon. Best, realdrsix
