Asymmetry
At the 5 week point it's not unusual for there to still be a small amount of fluid around your implant. Typically, I wouldn't expect there to be so much fluid so as to cause a cup-size difference in your volume- although it's certainly possible. If it's due to fluid then it should be resolving at this point so, if it persists much longer, then I would suggest having it evaluated.

Asymmetry after breast augmentation
Asymmetry after breast is quite common in the first several weeks after breast augmentation. Despite using an identical approach on both sides, in virtually every patient, each breast tends to swell differently. Furthermore, the implants generally start off slightly high and need to drop over the first several weeks. Your surgeon is right - try to give it a few months before assessing the final result.

Uneven swelling is very common.
At 5 weeks, you are still prone to swelling. Typically, breast sizes are different between the left and the right resulting in uneven swelling. Swelling is very common at 5 weeks and also depends on how much work was done in the breast pocket.

Different Cup Size
Things take time to settle and heal after surgery. 5 weeks is still early - it normally takes months for the implants to settle into the pocket. When an implant settles, the size and shape will change. Without examining you, I really don't know what is going on - it may be that one side has settled and the other hasn't (therefore resulting in different cup sizes), there could be other things going on. Maybe posting photos would help.
