My Breast Are Uneven and I'm Scared It's Not Going to Change, What Should I do?

I had breast implants on feb. 2nd 2012 and I informed my plastic surgeon that my left breast was smaller than my right and he said it wasn't that big of a difference so after my surgery saline mod plus profiles were placed 420 filled to 450cc in each breast so he didn't add any more saline to my left breast. Now that I'm healing my right breast is hanging low and my left breast is sitting up way to high and I'm scared to complain to him about because it has only been two weeks. Please help!!!!!!

A: Breast Asymmetry after Breast Augmentation?

Thank you for the question.

I would suggest that you communicate your concerns and questions with your plastic surgeon in a calm, non accusatory fashion. Pointing out your concerns about the breast asymmetry will allow him to help you with maneuvers to improve the breast symmetry.

Keep in mind, that at 2 weeks post op,  you are not seeing the final results of surgery; this may require several additional months.

Again, communicate your concerns with your plastic surgeon ( no need to be “scared”).

Best wishes.

A: Bottoming Out of Breast Implants?

Thank you for the question.

Generally, breast implants will fully “settle”  and be in a stable position anywhere from 6 months to one year after surgery. Generally, if implant  malposition ( Including bottoming out)  is going to occur,  patients will see it within this time frame.

In the longer term, breast implant malposition is still possible.  This may be related to the effects of time, gravity,  skin elasticity issues, weight gain and weight loss, pregnancy...

Fortunately, breast implant malposition  issues can often be corrected with  capsulorrhaphy techniques.

I hope this helps.

A: Choosing Breast Implant Size?

Thank you for the question.

Unfortunately, it is not possible to give you good advice based on this communication only. However, in my opinion, the breast implant sizes that you mention may be too large for your frame. Of course, this will best be determined by a well experienced plastic surgeon upon direct examination.
 
Prior to proceeding with the surgery it will be very important to communicate your  goals with your surgeon.  In my practice I find the use of goal pictures to be very helpful.    I have found that the use of words such as  “D cup” means different things to different people and therefore prove unhelpful.
 Also, as you know, cup size varies depending on who makes the bra; therefore, discussing desired cup  size may also be inaccurate.
 

I use  intraoperative sizers and place the patient in the upright position to evaluate breast size. Use of these sizers also allow me to select the breast implant profile (low, moderate, moderate plus, high-profile) that would most likely achieve the patient's goals. The patient's goal pictures are hanging on the wall, and allow for direct comparison.
I have found that this system is very helpful in improving the chances of achieving the patient's goals as consistently as possible. 
 

I hope this helps.
