Uneven Breasts After Augmentation? (photo)

So much will change with time. It is so hard for me to give you advice without your pre operative photos. Your breasts look amazing to me. I think that you need to give swelling time to go down. Your implants will drop with time and your shape will change so much. Something I tell all of my patients is that no two snowflakes are the same and I feel that applies to breasts as well. You most likely started out with a small amount of difference and when you were augmented it became more... more

Additional change with healing can still occur

Hello, Hang in there as additional healing and change may be possible. The other good news is that saline implants can be adjusted if needed and this can be done under local anesthesia. Fluid can be removed from the larger or added to the smaller to improve the asymmetry. All the best, Dr Remus Repta

BA assymetry

Thank you for the photos they do help. I think overall you have a good result with your breast augmentation. I do see what you are talking about but no woman has perfectly symmetrical breasts, with or without implants. I know it is hard to be patient with the healing process but you are still early. I find implants are not in there final place until three months after surgery. I hope this reassures you. Kindest regards, Neil J. Zemmel

Why Are My Breasts Not Even After Breast Augmentation?

Dear Maria, Please don't be depressed. What I see in the photograph that you sent to us is that your left breast looks just about perfect in positioning, but your right breast is riding a little high. The upper pole is fuller on the right, and the right nipple is tipping down just a little. To me, that means that the right breast needs to be pushed down just a little bit more. Implants under the muscle don't move very much, but by wrapping your chest with a 4" ace... more

Assymetry after breast enlargement

It is not unusual to have a bit of assymetry after an augmentaton. The fact that your surgeon filled the implants to different sizes leads me to believe that you were a bit assymetrical before the the surgery. Perfect symetry may not be possible. Wait at least three months and then discuss with your surgeon. Talmage Raine MD FACS drraine.com

Breast Size Asymmetry After Augmentation

Dear Maria. I am sorry that you feel depressed but based on the photos you have posted and the description within your post, I believe that it is too early to judge the end-results of your breast augmentation. At 6 weeks post-op, it is normal that you are not swelling-free and so the asymmetry you currently note may be of a swelling nature. Therefore, I recommend that you trust mother nature to take its course so you RIGHT breast will drop into its natural position and the... more

Uneven Breasts After Augmentation?

Based on the posted photos the right to me looks smaller so you need increased size of implant by 50 to 100 cc's

Early breas asymmetry

Though you have some asymmetry at this time, it is still quite early in the healing process. Very often people are asymmetric at this time and one side will catch up with the other. Implant displacement exercises may also help...discuss this with your surgeon.

Breast asymmetry

Some breast asymmetry is normal. Based solely on your photos, your breasts look pretty good. Good luck.

Breast asymmetry

Thanks for your question, I see some of the asymmetry you note, but it is early and changes are still to come. Also without a pre-op picture it hard for us to tell how much of the asymmetry should be expected. Keep in communication with your plastic surgeon.
