I have 700cc placed over the muscle and I really hate the look. I am 4 weeks post op and I'm really hoping the shape changes and they shrink a little. What can I expect? Should I get a revision? I never wanted the fake look I never wanted a round look and I'm just very unhappy.
Answer: Wait awhile before considering revision. A month after breast augmentation is relatively early in the recovery process. Your final results are still months away. It can take 3 to 4 months for your breast implants to soften and a full 6 months for your breast implants to settle into their final position. What changes in those months is the tightness of the tissues surrounding the implants and the position of the implants themselves. What won’t change is the shape and size of your implants. I suggest that you give it about 6 months, then consider revision surgery if you aren’t satisfied with the results.

Answer: I have 700cc placed over the muscle and I really hate them. (photo) Thank you for your question and photo. I'm sorry that you are unhappy with the results of your #breast #augmentation. : The two breasts commonly heal quite differently. One breast may #swell more, feel more #uncomfortable, or have a different initial #shape. After complete healing, they will be more similar and natural. You must have patience, but if this causes concern, ask questions of the doctor or the nursing staff. The #final #shape of your breasts will start to look its best approximately three (3) months after surgery. It takes time for the skin and muscle to #stretch and #relax around the new implant. The breast will often look higher, firmer, and “less natural” in the first three (3) months. It can take up to a year to see your final result.If you are unhappy and uncomfortable, discuss this with your #BCPS. If you are still unhappy with the results by six months postop, you may decide to discuss and/or pursue revision surgery. Best wishes!

Answer: Breast Implant Size Hello,Thank you for your question and photos. Typically I would suggest waiting at least 6 months before considering a secondary procedure. You could expect your breasts and your comfort with them to change in that time as well. If not, you may want to discuss the option of smaller, less projecting breast implants with or without a lift. Share your concerns and continue to follow up with your Plastic Surgeon,All the best

Answer: I have 700cc placed over the muscle and I really hate them. At this point you are early in the healing process. Swelling and implants will continue to settle and scars will continue to improve. Follow up with your surgeon as directed. You should allow yourself at least three months before final results. Regards,

Answer: Large round fake looking breast implants With you being 4 weeks out, there is probably still some swelling that will subside. The shape, however, most likely will still look very round and fake, because that's what large saline- filled implants placed over the muscle in someone who has saggy breasts with little breast tissue and thin loose skin typically looks like. Submuscular placement of silicone gel implants typically yields a more natural look and feel (with less rippling and wrinkling which is the biggest disadvantage of saline- filled implants as well as subglandular placement). Usually with someone with your tissue characteristics, you are also looking a the possibility of needing a breast lift as well to deal with your excess loose skin (especially if you down size from your 700cc implants (which are considered very large by most standards) to give your breasts optimal shape). The newer highly cohesive anatomically shaped "gummy bear" silicone gel implants can give you the most natural look with the least rippling/ wrinkling, least chance of capsular contracture and lowest rate of rupture. I would recommend getting several consultations from board certified plastic surgeons experience in doing a lot of revisional breast surgery (hopefully not for their own patients). Best wishes.
