Will my asymmetric breasts from Breast Implants even out eventually?

Post-operative asymmetry is dependent on many things, most importantly, the presence and nature of asymmetry pre-op. It is most common and natural to have some asymmetry of the breasts, and this can be related to size, dimension, chest wall (i.e.ribs and muscle), degree and location of laxity or sagging,... more

Discuss your concerns with your surgeon. It is almost certain that the asymmetry existed prior to surgery, only on a smaller and less visible scale and should be visible on your pre op photos. In a real sense, what you BRING into the o.r. is what you GET BACK--only larger.

SEE VIDEO BELOW: It often takes 6-9 months for breasts to settle. This can be especially true if interventions to correct pre-existing asymmetry.
