Breast Implant Revision Surgery, Uneven Result 3 Weeks Post Op? (photo)

I had a breast implant revision 3 weeks ago after my first surgery left me with an under-disected pocket on the right side. I also went up from 325cc to 400cc mentor moderate profile silicone implants under the muscle. My breasts are uneven again except this time the right breast is the one sitting lower. It is also a different shape, much rounder. Is it possible it is taking longer to settle than the left? I also worry about the incisions. Please help as I can't go back to my surgeon.

Revision results

Your revision results look pretty good, I would not do anything else at this point. Good luck.

I would let your PS know and see what recommendations he/she has. Typically, at this early stage, I have patients doing breast massage daily on both breasts. I like them to continue this for at least 3 months. what type of bra are you using? sometimes, a tight support bra... more

Uneven Result

I can't quite see enough from just these photos--45 degree views would help, as would pre op photos. There is a hint of a double bubble on the right, with a visible crease that may represent the original breast fold. Three weeks is a bit early to be concerned about shape after a revision and size increase as it may take 3 or more months for the implants to settle, and it may well be that any differences today will no longer be present. If these looked even to your surgeon... more
