I had a breast augmentation surgery this morning and I noticed my nipples are pointing sideways...my pre-ba nipples were also slightly pointing sideways...When the breasts settle, will the nipples front face and will there be less of a gap between breasts?
Answer: Breast Augmentation/Breast Implants/Anatomic Gummy Bear Implants/ Silicone Implants/Breast Implant Revision I appreciate your question. Right now, you are very early on in the post op recovery period. It will take 3-6 months for you to feel comfortable having implants in your body and for them to settle. This time allows for you to physically and psychologically adapt to your new body image. There are many variables that contribute to a breast augmentation's final result. Preop size and shape, IMF location, location of the implants and type of implant. Patients heal at different rates and each breast will sometimes heal at a different rate. Rest, relax, recover and heal. Express your concerns to your surgeon so he/she can examine you. Then reassess final result at 6 months. The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam. Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative breast surgery. Best of luck!

CONTACT NOW Answer: Give your nipples some time to adjust. After just one day, your breasts and nipples are in the very early stages of recovering from breast augmentation. Even once your incisions heal, your final results will still be months away. It can take up to 6 months for breast implants to completely soften and settle. During this time, your breasts may be asymmetrical in both size and position and your nipples and breasts can be affected by swelling. Still, since your nipples pointed outward naturally and you had a larger gap, the orientation of your nipples and the space between your breasts likely won’t change as your body heals.

Answer: Breast augmentation Your breasts preoperatively and postoperatively show nipples that point outwards. Although the swelling will decrease and there may be some improvement as the swelling goes down there will always be an element of sideways projection. Your gap has been improved significantly postop and one would definitely not recommend placing them any closer. You need to let the results soften as the results will change greatly over the coming 3-6 months. Be patient and keep in touch with your PS.

Answer: One day post op, some advices: 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

Answer: 1 day post-op, nipples pointing sideways, will this change once the breasts have settled? Thank you for your question and photograph. After placement of implants, the 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 the 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. As far as your nipple position, implants will not change their location but rather can magnify any separation. Hope this helps.
