Has my Left Breast Bottomed Out? (photo)

Hi! I'm 5'2" and 110lbs. I had a mommy makeover on june1, it has been 3 weeks and 1 day. Originally my left breast was more saggy and just slightly bigger than my right, maybe AA on right and A on left, so my ps decided that I needed a lift and smaller implant (350cc) on my left and a bigger implant on my right(375cc) . However since the 1st day I noticed that my left is still bigger than my right. I am not satisfied with my left breast . Do you think that the left breast has bottomed out?

No Sign of Bottoming Out Of Left Breast Implant

Good news, your left breast implant is not bottoming out. It appears you had a Benelli (circumareolar mastopexy). Things are looking great. Nipple areolar complex at the same level. The right breast definitely looks a little smaller than the left; however, this may be due to swelling.

Has breast bottomed out?

No i don't think that your breast has bottomed out. At three weeks after surgery you still have a considerable amount of swelling which is normal. Take a deep breath and relax. You need to be patient and give it at least 3 months before you can sort of tell what it's going to look like. Hang in there.

??Bottoming out??

No, neither implant is bottoming out. Bottoming out occurs when the implant descends on the chest wall, leaving the nipple and areola too high on the breast--this has not occurred here. From these photos the breasts look fairly even. The difference I see is that there is more swelling in the left areola. That is likely to even out. I have a tough time discerning a size difference in this photo. No one is exactly even, before or after... more

Postop bottoming?

Based on your photos, I do not see bottoming out. you are only 3 weeks from your surgery. It takes at least 4-8 weeks for the swelling to go away (depending on the techniques utilized and your activity level after surgery). Some PS say it truly takes 6 months to see your final results. In terms of volume asymmetries, remember, it is unlikely you were symmetric to begin with. And there are some limitations of what your surgeon can achieve in terms of symmetry.... more
