Should I Worry if One Breast is Larger 5 Weeks Post Op?

Prior to surgery I was a 34 A. My doctor told me my right was larger. I never noticed before, I guess because they were so small. I had silicone gel implants. 339 cc on the right and 371 on the left. The left looks larger to me. I know it is only about an ounce and that alot of women have asymetry but I paid alot of money for this surgery and I want them to be perfect. Should I worry this early? Is there anything I can do aside from more surgery? Thank you!

Still to early

It is still too early to tell. I agree with waiting at least 6 months to a year, especially if "perfect" is your desired result. So the answer is "no", you definitely should not worry. Enjoy the result for now and reevaluate after a year.

One Breast Larger at 5 Weeks Post Op; Should I Worry?

Thank you for the question. At this point, it is still too early to evaluate the end results of the breast surgery. I would suggest that you do so 6 months to one year after the procedure was performed. In other words, it does not do any good to “worry”; it is very likely that you will continue to experience changes with breast size and shape… over the course of the next several months. Of course, for the most precise advice continue to follow-up with your plastic surgeon... more
