I’m 1.5 months post op. My implants have dropped quite a bit with my left being slightly higher the entire process. I recently noticed a line/dent when I flex that side. Also, would I expect much change in shape still? I think I have snoopy breast? Lower tissue hangs down or whichever way I bend. It’s not horrible but not my expected outcome. I had no upper pole volume after breastfeeding. Size 36/6 deflated. Had 371 ccs round silicone. Should I have gone bigger? Lift? Thanks
Answer: Aftercare Hello. Thank you for your inquiry and congratulations on your surgery!It generally takes around 6 months to a year to see your final results. Your tissues will take time to relax and allow your implants to "Drop and Fluff" settling into place. It is important to have an in-person medical assessment regarding this issue as it is difficult to determine virtually. Continue to update your doctor in the matter and follow their post-op protocol. It is important to get cleared by your doctor before engaging in specific physical activity before the 3 month healing period has ended as the healing stage is crucial for healthy results. Our tips for recovery following breast augmentation are to wear a supportive sports bra for 3 months post-operative and refrain from lifting anything heavier than 10 lbs for 3 weeks as we don't want any strain at your incision sites. Make sure to keep the area of your stitches clean by cleansing with hydrogen peroxide daily. Showering is encouraged!

Answer: Deformity after breast augentation It appears from the photos and description that the implants are under the muscle. This leads to Dynamic Breast Deformity (DBD): the muscle contracts and the underlying implant shifts position. In addition to this it is likely that if the implants are under the muscle they will remain in relatively high position over time while your breasts will eventually droop with age and gravity. This separation of volumes is called double bubble contour and may need to be revised surgically. For these reasons it is increasingly unpopular to place breast implants under the muscle.
