Answer: Breast Augmentation 2 weeks post- op results Two weeks post-operative is way too soon to consider your result final. In most cases, it takes at least several months for the tissues to adapt. Imagine if you were suddenly 9 months pregnant, your skin would not be able to adjust to the size that quickly. Give your body some time to adjust. *Opinions stated here are only opinions, they are not based on a clinical exam which is recommended.

Answer: 2 weeks post-op BA, I would like to know if the will they get lower, lose more volume, and have a more natural look? Thank you for your question. Without pictures or an exam, it is hard to give you specific advice. But what your are describing is very common at two weeks after a breast augmentation. As time goes by and your implants settle, they will get lower and will not "lose" volume but will lose upper pole fullness as they descend into a better position. They will look more natural. But this process can often take 3-6 months to fully mature. Be patient and keep in touch with your plastic surgeon.Best of luck!

Answer: 2 weeks post-op BA, I would like to know if the will they get lower, lose more volume, and have a more natural look? Congratulations on having undergone the breast augmentation procedure. Generally speaking, breast implants will "drop" into the pocket that was created during surgery. The rate of breast implant "settling" may depend on factors such as size of breast implant pocket dissected, tightness of the overlying skin/muscle layers, and size of breast implant utilized. Normally, it takes about 3-6 months (for some patients longer) to see the final result. Many of my patients report that as the swelling around the breast implants (for example, in the sternal area) decreases, they feel that their breasts appear more projecting (and that they have better "cleavage"). Also, in my opinion, the "drop and fluff” phenomenon does hold some validity; as breast implants “settle”, many patients feel that their breasts actually look larger. Similarly, it takes a few months for the breasts to "soften" in most cases. Most of my patients tell me that their breast implants feel "part of them" somewhere between 3 to 6 months after surgery was performed. There is definitely a physiologic and "psychological" (body image) adaptation process that occurs, at differing rates for every patient, for patients who undergo any type of aesthetic surgery, including breast augmentation surgery. Understandably, patients often experience significant emotional "ups and downs" around the time of surgery. Best wishes for an outcome that you will be very pleased with long-term.

Answer: Two weeks post-op BA You should follow up with your surgeon to get their evaluation. They know exactly what they did at surgery and how they expect things to look at this point. They can then monitor your progress over time. The swelling will subside and implants should drop into a more natural location over several months.

Answer: Post Op Appearance Hello,Shortly after surgery there will be swelling of breast tissue and pectoral muscles which causes upper chest fullness and a squared appearance to the breasts. Tissue is tight and this can compress the implants up and outward temporarily.I recommend that you try to wait until closer to 6 months post op to evaluate your results.Take care
