Question

Thank you for sharing your question and photograph.  After placement of implants, the overall appearance of the breasts will change dramatically over the next several months, as the implants drop, and the overlying tissue stretches to accommodate the extra volume. In your case the swelling from surgery is flattening your implants and holding them high on your chest.  As this swelling resolves, the volume within the implant will redistribute towards the lower portion of your breast achieving a more natural appearance.  I know waiting is difficult, but judge your results at 4-6 months after surgery as most of your breast changes should have occurred by then. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the question.

Its too early to talk about results. 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

Your implants are too big for your breast tissue and the only way that your body could accommodate them was to overstretch your upper chest. I do not think that this will get much better with time. Your lower pole is very constricted and could not stretch enough for 950 cc implants. Please see your surgeon for evaluation and downsizing.

Thank you for your question. 950 cc is considered really large implant. Initially because of swelling and muscle tightness they look like this and they continue to change with time. Please express your concerns with your PS

I presume this was a submuscular augmentation.  Early on, the muscle spasms and drives the implant upwards towards the clavicles.  It will relax and drop with time.  Massage exercises can help.  Due to the size of your implants and laxity of your breast tissue, this may take some time.  950cc is pretty big.
