Answer: It is common for breast implants to appear unusual at this stage of recovery. Since you are only two days post-op, it’s expected that your implants will seem tight and sit high on your chest. It can take several months for the final results of breast augmentation to develop. As your pectoral muscles relax, the implants will drop lower into the breast pocket. At this point, your breasts will begin to look more natural and aesthetically pleasing. If you have any concerns, don’t hesitate to reach out to your plastic surgeon for reassurance.

Answer: Why are my breasts so hard and pointy after breast surgery? Hi A Dominguezlopez,Thank you for your photos and your questions. For 48 hours things actually look really good. It is extremely common for your breast to be hard and to be pointy after a breast lift with implants. I recommend continued follow up with your board-certified plastic surgeon to make sure things continue to go well. the Implants may soften in a matter of days to weeks but everyone is different. The reason the nipples look pointy is because as the breast lift is done it compresses all your breast tissue underneath the nipple which is normal. The Implants will settle and when they do the nipples will look less pointy. Be patient. Good luck!All the best,Carlos Mata M.D., MBA, FACSBoard-certified plastic surgeon

Answer: 2 days post op It is very difficult to evaluate any results at only 2 days post op. It looks like you had a lift in addition to implants. This look is not uncommon and you will notice your breasts change shape over the next several months as the tissues relax and the implants drop. It is very important to go to all of your post op appointments with your plastic surgeon and follow their post op instructions. Best of luck!

Answer: Hard and Pointy Shape at 2 Days Post-Op It is important to watch the full healing process throughout the stages, and make sure that you have the appropriate follow-up exams scheduled with your surgeon in order to examine the healing progress as it should. Since you are only 48 hours into the healing process there is likely not anything to be worried about as of yet, but here are some common issues that can exist throughout the healing period.HEALING OF SENSORY NERVES: Tingling, burning or shooting pains, which will disappear with time and should not alarm you, indicate regeneration of the sensory nerves. If these sensations cause pain, repeated, local self-massage helps.
