I had breast augmentation done 3 months ago, 335cc under the muscle silicone moderate profile. They have dropped a little but they are still more full in the upper pole and are a bit firm. I am pretty happy with my results but would just like to know based on the pictures provided if they seem to be coming along normally. These concerns I will of course bring up with my plastic surgeon but it is always good to get more opinions. Thank you.
Answer: Your breast augmentation results appear to be normal for this stage. At 3 months after your breast augmentation, your results look normal. Some upper pole fullness is not uncommon at this stage. Breast implants can take up to 6 months to fully settle as your skin and tissue stretch to accommodate the added volume. Your breast implants may begin to feel softer and drop more into the lower pole in the next 3 months. Wait until you’ve hit the 6-month mark, then re-evaluate your results and see if you still have questions or concerns. If you do, you may want to see your plastic surgeon.

Answer: 3 months post op, some advices: Thanks for the question.In my practice, after performing a BA I recommend to my patients to limit the movement of the arms for two weeks. After that, you can move your arms taking care and always with common sense. In this regard, it's not advisable to carry heavy weights to prevent the implant out of position, and allow the formation of the physiological capsule around the implant, also to avoid pain and breast swelling. Kind regards

Answer: Breast Augmentation - Post Op Swelling Thank you for your question. You are still early in the post-operative period. It typically takes 3 - 6 months for the swelling to subside and and implants to settle into proper position. The implants may swell asymmetrically, but usually settle evenly. Please discuss your concerns with your board certified plastic surgeon. Also, make sure you follow all of your plastic surgeons post-operative instructions regarding level of physical activity and use of a support bra. Hope this helps and good luck with your recovery.
