Answer: Wait for breasts to settle first It’s unfortunate you’re unhappy with your results. Typically, it can take 6 months or so for the implants to settle into their intended position. At that time, your optimal results should appear. The scars may take up to a year to mature as well. You may want to wait to see if you like your results at that time. However, you can consider speaking with your surgeon about the pain you’re experiencing as this may be a concern.

Answer: I am 2 weeks post op from breast augmentation and hate them. Hello! Thank you for your question! You are still early post-procedure. Your appearance looks typical at this stage and will continue to improve as the swelling subsides and the implants continue to settle into their desired position. This usually proceeds over the next several weeks as the lower pole skin/breast stretches to accommodate the implants. Follow-up closely with your surgeon for additional restrictions/instructions and the potential use of bras/garments or massage that may encourage the implant to settle appropriately. It is likely nothing that you did or did not do at this time, but rather an expected swelling and normal outcome this early after your procedure. I would await final result, which typically occurs over the next couple more months as the swelling resolves and implants settle. Hope that this helps! Best wishes on what already appears to be a nice result!

Answer: I am 2 weeks postop from BA and hate them. Thank you for your question and I am sorry that you are not happy with your current result. Remember that after placement of implants your overall appearance will change dramatically over the next several months as the implants drop and the overlying tissue stretches to accommodate the extra volume. It appears that one of your implants has started to settle while the other is still held high and wide against your chest due to swelling. This asymmetry is not uncommon and improves as your results mature. 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. Hope this helps.
