Snoopy breasts after implants?

Hi, I had BA 3 days ago so I understand it is early days and they need time to drop and settle more but I'm just seeking further information and hopefully reassurance everything is okay! My surgeon said I didn't have tuberous breasts but constricted lower poles for both breasts. He suggested 385cc round textured silicone gel dual plane and lower both creases. I'm wearing a strap and no bra at the moment and will continue for next 6 weeks as per nurses advice. I'll wear a bra when I leave the house. I've uploaded before photos and 3 days post op. Do you think I will drop and fill out my new creases over time?? I'm freaking out a bit as they look a bit square, snoopy look and are pretty high and have no lower pole fullne

    Hi. Dr Ray Goh from Brisbane here. At 3 days post op, it is quite common to see a significant degree of swelling in the upper pole region. This is especially true when muscle dissection was carried out in a dual plane pocket placement. The swelling in the upper pole in general should settle by around 6 weeks and the lower pole should fill out more as the implant settles in. 
    I hope this helps to reassure.
