One Breast More Swollen and Sore 10 Days Post Op? (photo)

Hello. It is far too early to decide if you have post operative asymmetry. The implants are still falling into their final position and you are still experiencing swelling which may not be equal on each side. I would recommend you continue following any instructions from your surgeon and give yourself at least four months before you start to worry about your outcome.

Thank you for your question.You are very early in your recovery and breasts can heal at different rates. It will take time for the your breasts to heal and drop into position. Continue to follow your surgeons instructions and contact him/her with any concerns. Best of luck.

Thank you for the photos. You are still very early in your post operative course.  Breast implants tend to start dropping into place after 3 to 4 weeks. They usually will get to their final position in 6 to 12 months. One will usually drop faster than the other, and the shape may go through changes. Please follow your Board Certified Plastic Surgeon's post op instructions. For example; we like message, but some surgeons will have you wait, or do it in a specific manner. Please also let them know your thoughts and concerns.

Thank you for submitting your question and photo. Your very early in your recovery from breast surgery. Your breasts will soften and the shape will change over the next several weeks. The left breast swelling and pain is concerning and you should go back to discuss your concerns with your Plastic Surgeon. Best wishes

Hi thereThank you for your kind enquiry.It is very difficult to tell is this is significant. You look as though you have a very nice aesthetic breast with a good early result but admittedly there is more swelling on your left breast.It is completely normal to have asymmetric swelling following an operation and this is very common with augmentation surgery. Please do give it time, wear a support bra and seek advice from your surgeonGood luck!
