Breasts Are Uneven 9 Dyas After Breast Augmentation, Is This Normal?

Best to be evaluated immediately by your chosen surgeon JUST to be safe. Could be some asymmetry vs a hematoma. Please be seen.

One breast larger than the other after augmentation

It is normal to have swelling after breast augmentation and sometimes the swelling can be uneven. This means that one breast may be slightly larger than the other after your surgery until the swelling goes down. If one breast is significantly larger than the other, this can signify a problem such as bleeding or fluid collection. If there is significant difference in your breasts, you should see your surgeon to be examined.

Please see your surgeon

The difference in the size is very common and you are too early post op. The swelling will resolve over first 3-4 weeks. You should see your surgeon to make sure everything is OK.

Breasts should look great right after breast augmentation.

Hi. I would see your surgeon right away. You may have a seroma or a hematoma in the left breast, and these are things that need to be treated right away. It may be nothing, but you need to check.

Unequal breasts after breast augmentation

Having unequal breasts after surgery is completely normal. You did not have a perfectly symetrical canvas before, and you will not have one after the surgery. In fact, the subtle differences present before surgery will become more noticeable after expanding your breast. If, however, you have a significant difference in volume that was not there immediately after the surgery, then you should see your physician immediately to ensure that you do not have a bleed.

Early post-op breast augmentation

At 9 days out it is too early to say if there is a problem.More than likely there was some asymmetry to begin with, one pocket being tighter than the other and the folds a bit different. Give it time to equalize.

Breast Asymmetry after Breast Augmentation?

Thank you for the question. Some degree of breast asymmetry is to be expected after breast augmentation surgery. If the asymmetry is significant and/or one breast feels different in firmness etc. you should be seen by your plastic surgeon relatively quickly. Occasionally, breast asymmetry may be a sign of a complication. Best wishes.

Uneveness

There is not necessarily anything wrong, but there could be. You should discuss your concerns with your surgeon. It is way too early to evaluate your results. Call your doctor.
