Experience with Subfascials?

Angelika · 07-05-2009, 01:08 PM

I am trying to find out what the typical recovery with subfascials is like as far as settling and dropping etc. I am 3 weeks post-op with 270 cc subfascial cohesive gels (32 RC, nursed 3 kids, pre 36A) and one side is soft and looks well centered while the other side is higher, tighter, more toward the midline and seems smaller. I can see my ribcage on the outside on that one as well and not on the soft side. Is this uneveness seen with subfascials? How long do they take to settle to their final position? Thank you!

Dear Angelika:

It can take a few weeks to several months to settle depending on the nature of the fascia and the amount of coverage achieved. You will want to ask your plastic surgeon this question as they have the most available information with which to formulate the answer.
