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: 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: 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.

Answer: Breast Augmentation - Post Op Swelling? Thank you for your question and photos. Congratulations on your recent surgery. You are still early in the post-operative period. It typically takes 3 - 6 months for the swelling to subside and and implants to settle into proper position. Please discuss your concerns with your board certified plastic surgeon. Also, make sure you follow all of your plastic surgeons post-operative instructions regarding level of physical activity and use of a support bra. Hope this helps and good luck with your recovery.
