I had my BA procedure on April 7, 2017. I am lop-sided due to my left implant having dropped and my right one still sitting high on my chest. My PS rated them both 1 on softness at my 3 month check-up, so no problems there.This is my dominant side so I am aware of the muscle being tighter, however, I was still hoping to help it along so I am more balanced.
I had breast augmentation surgery 2 weeks ago. I have been getting woken up by chest muscle contractions. In my sleep I stretch and my muscles contract or clench down. Is this normal? could this cause any problems with the look of my implants? It's involuntary.
I am now 10 days post op. I have silicone implants under the muscle and was told to start massaging at my week 1 appt. I have done the massage for two days with only little soreness afterwards. I am a crossfitter and powerlifter, and was bench pressing at twice a week leading up to surgery, my muscles are still decently tight. I cannot find anyone who was given the permission this early. Is it too soon? Could it be because my muscles are tighter and they want to make sure they fall?
In 2009 I had a breast reduction with a well known Dr. in North Alabama. I have a really ugly scar under my right breast where the W came together, but busted open 3 days after surgery, which my surgeon said he had never had happen before. Other than the scar that sometimes has black in it which is under my breast and the dog ears, my scars look pretty good. But I was wondering if the hollowness and dog ears is normal.
Got BA almost 6 weeks ago and it has been a bit difficult. I got 300cc submuscular silicone gel. My right has always been smaller and I feel like its kind of high right now. The left dropped pretty quick. I know its early and both need more time but could it be just that? More time needed for it to drop? Muscle tightness or capsular contracture?
Is symmastia primarily caused by surgeon error, anatomy or post-operative care? Also, are most board-certified BA surgeons trained to revise symmastia? Or only specialized reconstructive surgeons? Lastly, what is the average cost of [just] symmastia revision in the Pacific Northwest? I have been doing some research about symmastia and I've noticed a very broad range of cases.. do I fall somewhere on the spectrum? This topic has not been discussed with my surgeon, but I'd like to know what you guys think before I bother him. Standing upright, my chest muscles tighten, my implants move laterally and the contour of my cleavage is more defined (slight tenting). However, when I'm seated or hunched over, muscles relax and implants would slide medially and appear to be continuous.
