Is it normal for the gap to be raised off the chest wall right after Breast Augmentation?

It's difficult to say, without seeing a photograph. However, these fish may be related to swelling. Your plastic surgeon will be able to give you the most helpful answers.

Thank you for the question. It is difficult to answer this question without examining you or seeing any photos. You are only two weeks post op and this way too early to say what your final results will look like. Normally it takes 3-6 months for the implants to settle and the swelling to subside. I would express your concerns to your board certified plastic surgeon. Be patient. Good luck.

If you just had your surgery, you are literally in the infancy of your recovery. Your entire chest is swollen. Nothing looks or feels like it should. Be patient and kind to yourself as your body recovers. It will take time. If your issue doesn't resolve on its own, schedule an appointment with your surgeon. My best,

Its not unusual to have swelling around the entire breast for the first 2-4 weeks. Sometimes the swelling in the sternal area (the gap) may persist for a longer period depending on how large the implant and how small the chest circumference is. Continue to see your board certified plastic surgeon and have confidence in him/her.

Some swelling between breasts after breast augmentation can be normal and is not a sign that you will develop a synmastia.  Placing a roll of gauze under your bra between the breast can help.  But the swelling will go away on its own.  Best of luckRaymond Jean MD Board Certified Plastic Surgeon Bryn Mawr, Philadelphia PA
