Nipple Asymmetry After Breast Augmentation? (photo)

Hello, I had breast augmentation surgery done few weeks ago, and I can notice a difference in the breasts, my left breast is more higher, the upper part is more full, and the nipple is looking down, not like the right breast. What could be the reason? How would I know if it's not due to seroma or hematoma, how can I check for that? Before surgery I never had asymmetry. I had 350cc in both breasts.

At this stage there will be swelling and scarring that it talking place in your operative site. Your breasts need to heal. It will typically take 3 to 6 months to see your final results and in some women longer. During that time the swelling and the scarring process will start to subside and the soft tissues will start to accommodate allowing the... more

Uneveness after breast augmentation

Without pictures or a physical exam, it is difficult to tell if there is a fluid collection in your breast. If your surgery was done recently, breast asymmetry is very common in the early postoperative period. Often, one breast implant will settle sooner than the other implant. Eventually, they both reach a similar level and that can take at least 6 weeks in some patients. Sometimes, it can take longer. If you are concerned, make sure you follow up with your... more
