I am a little worried because I had a breast augmentation three weeks ago ( high profile silicone 350 CC's). they are too high , will they come down eventually? Should I consider another surgery, and if so, when? I have read that breast massages are very good to let them down, but I also read this is not recommended in texturized implants. Can you give me an advice?
Answer: Implants may be slightly higher in the initial phase for several weeks, but they will come down if the pocket has been properly dissected. Many surgeons will use a compression band to combat this and also recommend downward massage efforts in the weeks following surgery.
It is often the case that after breast augmentation, the implants seem to be too high. Your breast size is larger now and this results in that the breast feel too high, especially with high profile implants. Without doubt, they will come down and appear more natural with time. This is objectively true as gravity takes effect and the weight of your implants settle in.
Since you are only three weeks out I would not begin to worry just yet The native inframammary fold appears high with a short and (at least mildly) tight inferior pole. The markings on the chest wall suggest that the inferior pocket was created for proper implant positioning. Certainly at 3 weeks post-op it is common to have implants positioned high since they have not had enough time to settle into place. If smooth surface implants were placed, there is certainly a good chance that these implants would settle into a lower position over several months, with potential stretching of the of the inferior pole skin occurring afterward; and this could be enhanced by implant displacement exercises and the use of a compression band over the upper pole.
agree, your implants are too high on your chest wall. Having said that, I would be patient, the implants will "drop" or settle into place over time. I would wait at least 3 months and 6 months would be better. If the implants are still too high, than you will need to have them repositioned into a lower position.
It seems that you have a "high crease", the distance between your nipple and the inframammary crease is too short. The surgeon should have lowered your crease during the procedure, if it does not happened. I would be surprised if you do not need a secondary procedure to correct this.
