Asymmetric Breast Augmentation results may even out

Scott E. Kasden, MD answers: Will my asymmetric breasts from Breast Implants even out eventually?

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!

At 7 weeks, you are getting close to a final result, but you may still see improvement for up to a year.

I would recommend that you visit with the plastic surgeon and review preop photos to begin with. Next, ask him if there are massages/exercises that you can do to help the process along.

Dr. Beraka raises some interesting points. When I re-reviewed the photo based on his input, I noticed that you have some scoliosis, and this will affect the symmetry as well. In any event, if you choose to have surgery to correct things, I agree, wait at least 6 more months.

The rippling may or may not get better over time.
