My breasts are far apart and look unnatural 10d post-op what can I do?

You are still very early in the post-op period, so this is not your final result. The implants will soften and your breasts will become mobile. As far as being far apart, the one thing a surgeon can't do is make your breasts closer than they were pre-operatively. Good luck!

Dear Gregarious600,
I understand your concern and it is quite normal to be concerned about the outcome following a breast augmentation surgery. However, you are still in the very early stages of the healing process at 10 days  post op.Your will need to be patient at this moment and follow what your surgeon has instructed you to do post operatively.At the early stage of the healing process, the tissues around the implants are still swollen. Once the swelling subsides and the implants drop to their final position, you will be able to see the final result of your breast augmentation surgery.

The presence or absence of cleavage is dictated by where your breast base is positioned on your chest. If you have got a wide distance between your breast bases in the middle, then you would have a wide cleavage even after breast augmentation procedure, although this will be less than before the augmentation. This is because your implants need to be placed under the centre of your breasts (your implants appear to be centered under your nipples). Any attempt to place the implants towards the centre of the chest could result in your nipples being offset and to the sides of your newly augmented breasts. Some surgeons advocate using wide implants to improve cleavage. This will obviously improve cleavage, but you do need to be aware that this will also mean your implants / breasts being prominent in the sides, under your arms. Cleavage is something that matters most in a dress and you will always have a nice cleavage in a bra that brings the augmented breasts together.

Hello. Thank you for your inquiry and congratulations on your surgery!

It is important to have an in-person medical assessment regarding this issue as it is difficult to determine virtually. Continue to update your doctor in the matter and follow their post-op protocol.

It is crucial to get cleared by your doctor before engaging in specific physical activity before the 3 month healing period has ended as the healing stage is important for healthy results.

It generally takes around 6 months to a year to see your final results. Your tissues will take time to relax and allow your implants to "Drop and Fluff" settling into place. Should a revision cross your mind, it is best to wait at least 6 months to a year before doing so.

Our tips for recovery following breast augmentation are to wear a supportive sports bra for 3 months post-operative and refrain from lifting anything heavier than 10 lbs for 3 weeks as we don't want any strain at your incision sites. Make sure to keep the area of your stitches clean by cleansing with hydrogen peroxide daily. Showering is encouraged! But, no sitting in water for 2 weeks following surgery (no baths, hot tubs, pools etc.).

Hi,
I think you need to cool down and not to get so much worried.This is the most common look at this stage.
Lot of it is surgical (oedema swelling) and will get reduced in first 3 months slowly and tightness will turn into more comfortable skin.
Over all look will improve.
Any conclusion in your situation should be taken at 6 months post op.
For implants too high into the arm fits I advise my patients suing compression strep in the upper half of the breast so that implant slip down little bit during healing.
I wish you good luck
