Asymmetrical Breasts After Surgery

Hi, Naturally, breasts are asymmetrical as you can tell from your pre-op photo. At one month post surgery, it is too early to assess the final results that could take around 6 months to get established. Gravity will have its effect on the left breast and it may drop a little more. As for the size, you may have some solution drained from the right breast if and only if it is necessary after you have reached your final results. I encourage you... more

Assymetry to breasts

You may need to have a slight post op adjustment but I would wait 2-4 months.It would be easy to remove soem extra saline.

Will Breasts Ever Become Somewhat Even? 4 Weeks Post Op Periareolar.

The photos are nicely posted, thanks they help. Unfortunately there was a breakdown in objectives. If you are asymmetric before the surgery and have differing volumes than by augmenting the breasts, the asymmetry and volume differentials are magnified. You need revisional surgery, sorry. I suggest a L-shaped or full lift on the right, and slight volume increase on the left. Where in Florida are you? Seek in person opinions to explain in better detail. PM me or Dr Rieger in Tampa to get... more

Unequal breasts after breast augmentation

Thank you for your question. There is a difference in the size of the two breasts, and as long as the volume added to each breast is the same there will always be some asymmetries to the breasts.

I can understand that at the current time you may not be able to afford further surgery costs. Please be aware that every... more

Asymmetric breasts

Uneven breasts need more time

Sorry about your asymmetry, but this may get better over the next couple of months. Discuss you concerns with your surgeon to see what he can tell you. If you implants are submuscular, then sometimes one muscle takes longer to stretch and let the implants fall into a more natural position. Massaging the breasts (with your surgeon's approval and instruction) and possibly an elastic strap (designed for breast implant patients) may help the left side drop faster. Hope... more
