5 Months Post Op and My Breast Feel Uneven? (photo)

I am almost 5 months post op and my left breast feels a little lower and looser than my right. I feel like it falls out towards my armpit more than the other breast when im laying down. the left breast also appears to be a little larger than the right..is this part of bottoming out? is this bottoming out and should i be concerned?

Breasts feel asymmetric after augmentation

Based on your photos, you seem to have a great result. Everybody has asymmetry before surgery, and everybody has asymmetry after surgery. Your breasts may still continue to settle and heal over the next several months, so I would wait a little longer before making any decisions about your final result. I hope that helps and wish you all the best!

Something wrong with my breast implants? (photo)

Am I bottoming out?

Thank you for the questions and photos. I can see there is an asymmetry, but whether or not this is "normal" is hard to say. Viewing your pre-op photos may reveal that your breast fold were uneven to begin with and may have contributed to the asymmetry. Also, if the implants are placed behind the pectoral muscle, the implants take longer to settle, but usually by 3 months, they should be even. Your statement that one is firmer than the other may be of some... more

Uneven after augmentation

We can tell from your photos that you had significant differences in the breast envelope before your augmentation, and the differences are reflected in your result after. Overall you look quite well and the implant is not bottomed out, and over a longer period of time the symmetry just might improve a bit.
