I am doing the massaging my ps said to. he says that because i went so big on my frame(i am a size 2)they take longer to heal but im still nervous.something wrong? or is my right just healing slow/
Answer: Concerns about Breast Symmetry after Breast Augmentation?
Although your concerns are understandable, I would suggest that you continue to exercise patience and allow for approximate 6 months to pass before evaluating the and results of the procedure performed. Your plastic surgeon may have recommendations such as massage or displacement exercises and/or the use of a bandeau, to help the higher breast implant “settle”.
Generally speaking (for the benefit of other ladies considering breast surgery), patients undergoing breast surgery should understand that some degree of breast asymmetry is the rule, not the exception immediately after surgery and longer-term as well. In other words, helping patients achieve realistic expectations in regard to symmetry after breast augmentation is an important part of the preoperative “teaching”. Patients who are seeking absolute symmetry and/or “perfection” should not undergo breast surgery.
Best wishes.

Answer: Wait A Little Longer For Breast Implant Results Please wait until about three to four months after your surgery to assess your results. By this time, your breasts will have taken on a more natural contour, where the lower breasts become softer and rounder. Natural tissue expansion occurs to allow this to happen, with the help of gravity. Please wait until at least your fourth month to consider revision surgery.

Answer: Slow healing implants
Four weeks post surgery is too early to comment on the result that yuo can expect in the longer run
I agree that there is a difference between the left and right sides, and we all hope that this settles with time. Now is not the time though to assess the differences and assume there is a problem
Give it time and stick to yuor surgeons post operative instructions

Answer: Not uncommon
Minor asymmetries before surgery frequently lead to differing rates of healing after surgery. The left implant being the larger implant is heavier and may settle faster than the right. I support post operative bands to help keep implants relatively even in the post operative period. Depending on the implant, I also recommending massage maneuvers to help the implant shift. I would contact your surgeon and express your concerns and certainly be patient for your final result. It takes times and your result will be quite different 6-12 months after surgery.
