To Soon to Tell? What Can Be Done About Symmetry? What Can Be Done to Even out the Dents and Puckers?
I agree very early in healing/settling phase but there appears to be some issues with the techniques used. Best to seek IN PERSON second opinions. Was your surgeon a boarded PS?

Lift and augmentation
It looks like you had a lift and augmentation and it is still very early. The implants are high and will need time to settle.

To Soon to Tell
3 weeks is far too early in the healing process to make any determination as to the end results. At this juncture there is a significant amount of inflammation and scarring occurring. This will continue for at least the next 3 months or so after which the inflammatory process will slowly subside and the soft tissues of the breast will begin to accommodate allowing the implants to settle into position and the breast achieve a more natural look.
At this point my recommendation would be to...

To Soon To Tell
Don't worry. It is still very early in the healing phase. Things should start to style out and look good by 6 weeks. However, maintain a line of communication with your Plastic Surgeon. Remember, he wants you to get a good outcome too. Good Luck!

Concerns after Breast Augmentation/Lifting Surgery?
Thank you for the question and pictures.
Although your anxiety is understandable, the best advice I have for you at this point, is to not “freak out”. Although, it is not possible for online consultants to provide you with specific meaningful advice/reassurance, it is safe to generalize that breasts do change significantly over the course of the first several months after the type of surgery you have had performed. Again, generally speaking, breast implants “settle” into...

Puckering and Dents at 3 Weeks Post Breast Augmentation and Lift
Although I cannot predict your results, your plastic surgeon likely can. He or she has the benefit of having see the result on the table while you were relaxed. The muscles are now in spasm and are holding the implants high. Once they fall, they will fill the skin and tissue envelope. I usually take on-table pictures just so that patients can see how perfect they will look.

To Soon to Tell
Yes, it is too soon to tell.
Breast implants under the muscle often look too high in the first months after surgery. Submuscular implants are sitting as if they are at the bottom of an envelope. The breast fold, like the bottom of the envelope keep the implants from descending. At the upper pole is a large space under the muscle and above the ribs, and that space goes up to the clavicle (collar bone). Typically the implant position looks fine at surgery. As the patient...

Breast Augmentation and Lift
I know it is scary after you have had surgery and it doesn't appear even on both sides, but I always tell my patients that it takes every minute of 1 month for the implants to settle into the pocket and not be pushed up by the muscle higher than the breast. As they settle, they don't know about each other at all and so they settle and change at different rates. There is swelling for about 3 months and that is when you can really make a judgement about symmetry and even-ness....
