Patients often ask what they will look like early
post-operatively following breast augmentation. I typically tell patients that
breast augmentation results take approximately 6 to 12 months to truly be
appreciated. However, each patient has a different time period which the breast
implants settle into position. Usually patients who have a longer distance or
more "stretchy" skin between the areola and the inframammary fold or
"breast crease" tend to settle more quickly. The patient in the above
photograph is two weeks post breast augmentation. The implants have already
begun to take on a natural shape and position.
