Fixing uneven breasts after breast augmentation?

I agree with the other physician, I would not panic at 3 weeks and start thinking about revisions. ALL PATIENTS have pre-existing asymmetries of their breasts and it is important to point them out in detail because many of the asymmetries CANNOT be fixed by breast augmentation alone.  For... more

First of all, if they are shaped cohesive gel implants, then they will not drop any further.  Shaped implants are textured and stay where they are placed.  You seem to potentially have had asymmetric breasts to start with and I wonder if your doctor had pointed that out to you beforehand?... more

Hi.  There are several problems: 1) Your two breasts are different with more sagging and less volume in the left breast.  You may need a breast lift on the left. 2) The implant pockets are too high.  Unfortunately, they are not going to "drop". 3) The implant pockets are too far apart... more

Both breasts are still "high".  My experience is that they start to drop between 4rd and 4th wk after surgery.  Don't panic yet. Hang in theresek

One cannot make significant judgment regarding your results without seeing what you looked like pre-op, including dimensions of your breast, and without more detailed discussion of what your goals are.

Going back to replace implants sooner than 3 months would not be advisable.  You would have some swelling in the tissues that would predispose you to wound healing problems and possible infection.  Yes, you can have larger implants.  I would also consider at least a circumareolar (donut)... more

It's hard to speak with complete confidence about your case without having seen your preop photos, but based on this one photo, I think a lift (mastopexy) should certainly have been considered.  While it involved more incisions, I think it would have given you a far better chance at a more... more

    Your breasts sit naturally wider on your chest and by virtue of them being under the muscle they will stay wider. This is a discussion that is important to have pre-op because every woman's anatomy is a little different. Your breasts will settle and "drop" but in the future you may... more

Unless your plastic surgeon discussed your needing a lift to get the best result, they have not served you well.  Clearly, you are asymmetric and your left breast is droopier than the right.  That is why you think the left is smaller, because the breast is falling off the bottom end of the implant,... more

Clearly there are many issues here which need to be addressed: 1) Volume discrepancy: Right larger 2) Nipple dystopia: Left lower 3) Ptotic glandular tissue: Pseudoptosis with involutional atrophy 4) Enlarged Areolae: Probably larger than average 4.2cm 5) Mild constriction: Left sided narrow base... more
