Loose skin after breast lift and implants?

summerset · 09-08-2009, 10:04 AM

I am 9 weeks post op - I had a breast lift (lollypop incision) and 400cc HP salines placed under the muscle. I know that in time my breasts will change, as they definitely have.

My questions is: Is t normal to still be able to pull the skin - I can pull skin at the top of my breast and move my nipple higher. My nipples now still seem low and it sort of looks like I could benefit from a lift. Should I be able to pull the skin away from the implant so easily? I can pinch about 1" of skin.

Thanks so much!

It should not be tight like a spring. If the nipple is a bit low, then that is a different story.

Thanks for the reply. My nipples are definitely low. How long should I wait before getting a redo?

Thank you!!!
