Dent post breast lift and augmentation, is this normal? (Photos)

Question

I had a breast lift and enlargement with a 460ccgummy bear implant. I'm now 9 days post op. There is a very large dent in my right breast. I also have intense shooting pain every so often. My surgeon says to wait 6 months. Is this normal?

Daniel Barrett, MD · Answer

Dear SweetY17,dropping of implants is part of the healing process and this occurs after the tissues surrounding the implants slowly relax, allowing the implants to settle into their final position. It can take about four to six months for the implant to drop down to their final position.I understand that you are worried about indent. However, you are still in the early phase of the recovery period. Please do allow some time for the healing process to occur. If after six months, you are not satisfied with the appearance of your breast, you can visit your plastic surgeon and discuss your concerns.Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS
