Only time will tell how hour final result will look. You are very early post op. Steps you can take now are to stop wearing that band that is pushing the implants down. Also, your implants do look to far apart to me and the diameter looks to small. If you end up having them changed/modified, you may want... more
Uneven results from Breast Implants
I am a week out of breast augmentation. I received 250cc saline smooth implants under the muscle. And ever since day two, I’ve noticed the left breast implant showing on the side and sticking out the bottom. Making it hang lower, yet the nipples are symmetrical.
Is this a problem or is this normal while it heals? My right breast has looked normal (minus minor swelling) from the beginning. Which is why I am more alarmed with the left breast. I feel that depending on the angle and light hitting my breasts, you can see the implant sticking out more on the left side & underneath. It feels squishy too. Do they appear to be too far apart?

8 answers to “Uneven results from Breast Implants”A: Discuss your conscerns with your plastic surgeon
I would continue to see your plastic surgeon in follow up and discuss your concerns with him. Examine your pre-operative photographs with him/her. You are very early in the healing phase and have a long way to go. Optimal results following breast augmentation are not seen until 3-4 months postoperatively. Be... more
A: It's Way Too Early To Tell
Breast implants take typically 6-8 weeks to fully drop. The band that you're using will speed this along. So a week isn't any significant time regarding healing. Second, remember that you were asymmetrical prior to surgery (true symmetry does not exist in nature). So you will be asymmetrical after the... more
A: For now, talk with your surgeon
Jenga: You are an astute observer. There is a small difference in your photos. I have several difficulties in answering your questions. (Your surgeon is in a better position to answer for you.) I do not know your pre-op appearance. I do not know the details of your surgery. I know how patients typically... more
A: The breast implant is too low
It appears that the implant is too low and is causing a double bubble deformity. Take off the upper pole band and begin wearing a supportive bra 24/7. You may be able to get the implant to heal in the proper position. If not, you may need surgery to close the lower portion of the implant pocket.
A: Please refer to my answer to your other question
Looks like you have posted the same question, now with an arrow to point out the issue. My other answer still stands - please take off the strap and stay close to your surgeon during the recovery.
A: Too early to make any judgment
Hi Jenga One week out from breast surgery is too soon to make any judgment. If the nipples are at the same level, that is a very good start. Remember to think back to what your breasts were before surgery. Were they the same? In the vast majority of patients (if not all) the breasts are different... more
A: Careful with bandeau
Hi I am confused as to your description and the photograph. It appears that the issue is on the right, not left. Please clarify if you can. Either way, the asymmetry is noted and at this point could be handled by selective wrapping or a garment in an effort to mobilize the implant... more
