Will my Breasts Improve? Uneven Post Lift w/ Implants. (photo)

Tags: 2 weeks post-op, expectation, improvement, uneven

I had a mastopexy with implants (240cc saline) on 2/2/12. I am very concerned at the shape and fact they don't match. What are the chances of them shaping up to look like they match? I wanted larger implants but was told after surgery that PS went as large as he felt was safe as to not compromise blood flow etc. Just sad at how they look at this point after spending thousands $$$$$$.

Breast Augmentation/Mastopexy

Swelling, bruising and symmetry issues are not uncommon after breast augmentation with mastopexy especially in the first several months. You should certainly give it 6 months at least before making a final judgement. In general, it is very difficult to achieve perfect symmetry when doing both procedures together and many patients have asymmetries to begin with. It seems as if your surgeon has been giving you good advise and you may be best served by continued followup with... more

Result after Mastopexy Augmentation

You have a very normal result for this timepoint postoperatively. Your breast will change over the next several months. Some asymmetry will always remain when the breast were shaped differently preoperatively, which I suspect yours were.

Breast Augmentation/Lifting Results?

Thank you for the question and pictures. Although your concern about the breast appearance is understandable, it is much too early to evaluate the final size, shape, and symmetry of the breasts after breast augmentation/lifting. I would suggest that you allow for 6 months to pass before making this evaluation. In the meantime, continue close follow up with your plastic surgeon. It sounds like your plastic surgeon has use good judgment in order to avoid complications... more
