The reason breast lifts may appear boxy in the beginning is that your surgeon is trying to avoid a bottomed outlook; it takes approximately 6 months for the bottom of the breast to relax and stretch out; thus most surgeons tighten the lower breast pole purposely so that once your lower breast pole relaxes it doesn’t look too pronounced, termed bottomed out. So when you look at the photos, if they are boxy, they were probably taken before the six-month mark.
