I was told by my surgeon that if I get cohesive gel round implants, they will still look natural & will have a teardrop shape. I am 11 weeks post op & I feel I have too much upper pole fullness/too round of a breast. Will the downward slope become less round over time or is this the shape I am stuck with? Perhaps I got too large of an implant (high profile-365cc) & a smaller implant would have resulted in a less convex/round shape from top of breast to nipple. Please read photo captions
Answer: Shape Eleven weeks is still early and your shape may change more as you get to 6-9 months. You do appear to have a full and round upper pole. If it persists you may benefit from switching to moderate profile implants

Answer: Round Gel Implants How long it takes for breast augmentation to reach a "final" result varies with patient and implant factors. Your breast shape will continue to improve, and it is certainly still too early to consider it the end result at eleven weeks. It is tough to be patient but give it more time.

Answer: Recommendation Hello. Thank you for your inquiry. You may be an excellent candidate for breast augmentation surgery. It is important to have an in-person assessment regarding your concerns as it is difficult to determine virtually. There are many different factors that go into choosing a breast implant size which will correspond with your body dimensions while concurrently achieving your aesthetic results. Some of these factors are: Implant size (CC's), Implant profile (Low, Moderate, High), Placement of the implant (Subglandular vs. Dual Plane) etc. We utilize smooth round cohesive silicone gel 'gummy bear' implants for the best results. During a consultation your aesthetic goals are heard and taken into account with the measurements of your breasts and the integrity of your tissue, as well as level of ptosis (sag). From here we collectively can find your 'perfect fit'. You are able to try out sizers and different implants in our office such that you can get an idea of what size you would be post-operation. We also offer Crisalix 3D plastic surgery virtual simulator during our in-person and virtual consultations to preview potential results. After your consultation, you will receive your very own implant sizers to take home with you (at a small cost) whether or not you decide to go forward with your procedure. I usually recommend that my patients stop smoking, take vitamin C daily, and avoid aspirin/ibuprofen and vitamin E 3 weeks prior to surgery. I specialize in the 24-hour Recovery method which minimizes trauma to the breast and decreases pain post-operatively. We encourage you to look at our website and Instagram (drkaraplasticsurgery) for lots of before and after pictures! Please note that this response does not substitute patient-doctor relationship.
