I recently had silicone breast implants about 7 weeks ago. I have the left breast which is fuller more side cleavage and the nipple is higher than on the right side its not as full and the nipple is much lower.
The right breast had problem closing the incision which was in the nipple. Will it even out? I also have rippling underneath the right breast but only when I bend forward. Thanks!

It often takes 6-9 months for breasts to settle. This can be especially true if interventions to correct pre-existing asymmetry.
If I have performed breast asymmetry operations, I will typically ask patients to wait at least 6-9 months before contemplating any revisionary procedures.
bmoral85,
After augmentation, particularly with a very full implant there is a settling or a "melding together" of the implant and the skin envelope and tissues within the breast. The large implant has challenged the skin to adopt a fuller shape. In the first few weeks after augmentation the skin can feel firm and swollen, and over the next three to six months the tissues relax to acommodate the implant, the softness and form improves as the implant and breast begin to work and feel as one.
Concerning symmetry, after hundreds of augmentation procedures I have seen that no two breasts are exactly alike. They may be very closely so, however often there are subtle differences in size, nipple areolar size, shape of the fold etc. Our goal of augmentation of course is to minimize any asymmetry during the procedure. If you look very carefully at your pictures before, you may notice some of the slight differences which can show through even after an excellent augmentation.
You were corageous to send your picture, and I think after some time and settling, and perhaps some light massage, your augmentation will be wonderful. The nipple will even out nicely, and your periareolar scar has an excellent chance of great healing.
Patience, and best of luck,
