I've had my BA about 6 weeks ago & everything is going really well in regards to healing.The only thing thats bothering me is that my right boob seems fuller and a bit higher than the left, its noticable in the surgical bra, the right breast has more clevage than the left.The right breast was naturally the smaller breast pre op. I lift weights & I sometimes feel a little bit of pain in that same right breast post training. It goes away after a day using magnesium pills and massaging with arnica.
Answer: Breast implants need time to drop and fluff At 6 weeks, you are about 35 percent settled, shaped, softened, dropped and fluffed. "Drop and fluff" refers to the fact that as the skin stretches and the muscles relax, the implants move down and out slowly – about 1 percent a day. It’ll be about six weeks before they even begin to settle down, but they’ll be close to 80 percent settled and softened at three months. Watching their progress is like watching your hair grow. You don’t see a difference in your hair growth daily, but all of a sudden you need a haircut.

Answer: BA results Dear GymBunny487,I understand your concern and it is quite normal to be concerned about the outcome following a breast augmentation surgery. However, you are still in the very early stages of the healing process.Your will need to be patient at this moment and follow what your surgeon has instructed you to do post operatively.At the early stage of the healing process, the tissues around the implants are still swollen. Once the swelling subsides and the implants drop to their final position, you will be able to see the final result of your breast augmentation surgery.Daniel Barrett, MD

Answer: Breast implant settling It is not uncommon have some asymmetry in settling after breast augmentation. Give you body a chance to completely heal. I wouldn't have recommended any lifting of weights until after 6 weeks. See your surgeon if you have ongoing concerns. Take care

Answer: Implants dropping It is not always the dominant arm that takes longer to drop into position. If your surgeon created equal pockets on both sides the implants should even out over time and drop into place. It can be frustrating to wait this out but be patient and im sure you will be happy with your results.

Answer: Is it normal for the dominant side breast to remain higher and fuller 6 weeks post op? It is quite normal for the breast implant placed into the smaller breast to take longer to drop into place and to appear higher in the first few weeks after breast augmentation.It takes more time for the implant to stretch the smaller breast to allow the implant to drop.You are still early in recovery and your implants will drop further as time goes on.However it is best that you see your plastic surgeon for an in person examination and ask if you may begin breast implant displacement exercises.
