Will my breasts (365cc cohesive gel) look less round/more tear dropped shape after time?

JessicaSentorinxoMar 3, 2017
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

Some surgeons will relese ...

Even though you are very early in the healing process, what you describe does sound like that side is already bottoming out.  As the implant pushes past the natural fold more ( due to overdissection, poor tissue characteristics, or too large an implant for the tissues to handle), the nipple r...

Difficult to say without a proper exam but I would say it is either the skin reacting and stretching from having larger implants put pressure on it which would resolve over time (a vascular issue) or you could have cellulitis like the emergency room doctor states.Either way I would follow up...
