Concerns after an augmentation

Can certainly occur and you certainly have valid ones. Have you discussed this with your surgeon? What strategies has she implemented? And just in case, what is her revision policy as it is possibly you may need one. Ideally you should resolve this with your surgeon and give her a chance to 'do you right'... but from your photos, and if you were my patient, I would be having you do a lot of massaging and strap use.

Asymmetry at 4 months

It would be helpful to know if the implant on the right is firm--if so, this is a capsular contracture and that would explain the findings. Another possibility is that the implant on that side has failed to drop and is malpositioned because of that. The left side looks pretty good, the right side implant is high at too lateral. At this stage, unless there is a capsular contracture that responds to non-operative treatment, you will probably need a revision procedure to get... more

Sorry for these issues. Especially a poorly planned surgery, poor choice of a to small size of implant, and no attention to your anatomic details. You will need a revision.

Breasts are asymmetrical after augmentation

I find that if you want the breasts to heal the same you need to use the arms the same after surgery. Over use of one arm such as your dominant side increases the chance for injury or tears in the... more

Differing Fullness after Breast Implants

Your breasts had some asymmetry before surgery, which remains to some extent after breast augmentation. The sizes of the breasts are very similar, but the left could probably take another 50 cc. In the absence of capsular contracture, pocket revisions with larger implants may improve the symmetry, increase the fullness, and help with the scar position. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

Breast Asymmetry after Breast Augmentation?

Thank you for the question. As you can imagine, it is not possible to give you a precise answer as to why your plastic surgeon chose the breast implant sizes that she chose. Based on your photographs, I think that at least part of the reason why you are experiencing the breast asymmetry is related to asymmetry of the breast implant positioning on your chest wall. For example, the right breast implant appears to be sitting higher on your chest wall compared to the left... more
