Breast Lift with Implants - 1 Breast is Higher, Fuller, Wider

I had a breast lift with removal of old implants and new implants behind the muscle, all of this last week. From the beginning i noticed the different shape and volume in the two breasts. One sits higher is fuller ,wider and bigger then the other.This from day 2 when i saw the result. Will this needs a correction after a few months ? Also i had a small d cup before the surgery, implants of 225cc. The new implants are 200cc and my breasts seems to have gained a full cup instead of losing one.

If after three months or so you still see the difference then it may be necessary to correct it. Discuss this with your PS after your swelling has... more

Implant-related Assymetry

It sounds like you have assymetry following surgery and may want to obtain specific instructions during a visit with one or more qualified plastic surgeons. Especially early on in the first 2 weeks, a large assymetry can be related to a hematoma or other condition that may need early treatment.
