WORTH IT$8,000

I am a 24 yr old that has thought about getting breast implants for a couple years. I was very scared at first but I knew that it was something I had and wanted to do because of my insecurity over my small breast size.

I feel that you should only do breast surgery if you are 100% aware and understand the cons of breast surgery. I am a complete type a personality person and I expect things to be perfect. Before my breast surgery I was so concerned about capsular contracture but I did not worry about having uneven breasts postoperatively.

Since my breast surgery I have been very insecure about my new breasts because of the significant difference in their appearance. I don't wear shirts that show cleavage because it is very noticeable, instead I wear loose clothing.

What is the likelihood that my right breast implant will drop and if so when? This picture was taken 6 weeks postop. I had started massaging my right breast 3 weeks after my surgery as per my surgeon's instructions. I have not seen a slight change in their appearance at all.

Preoperatively my right breast was the lower one, which doesn't make any sense to me...The morning after my surgery I felt the left implant drop right away. The right side had the most bruising/pain compared to the left.

OMG! I am in the exact same spot..and concerned as well! I had mine done 6th May my right breast is tighter just like yours!Looks smaller ..so sad!! I read on here to not wear pushup bras and dont look at your breasts for 3 months because they have to relax and stretch the tissue! The Dr's said IT TAKES 3 MONTHS WE SHALL SEE! I was so happy at first but the shrinkage or tightness on the right one has me concened?? This is my 2nd set in 15 years?? I am 1 month post op today!

My sis got breast implants, and her right breast was tighter and firmer for a while too. Eventually it evened out. She was diligently massaging it like her surgeon suggested. So dont worry!!!

My right doesn't feel tight at all it just feels like there is no room for it to go down at all, almost like the pocket was not as big enough on the bottom as the left side. I kinda feel like massaging is pointless cuz there's no where for the implant to go and that revision is the only solution...unfortunately everyone says time well tell...how about this picture is proof enough.

my BA date was april 25th. i am waiting until end of aug for surgery. however i will be speaking to my surgeon about the possibility of surgery in july if there still is no change. i am in a rush for surgery because 1) i won't be in the area after august and 2) i just can't stand looking like this. i don't know how much it will cost but my surgeon and i will have to work out something because there is no way i should be paying for anything but anesthesia fees and any other or fees. i think this was his mistake for not making the pocket big enough. i will let you know what i plan to do.

I feel bad for both of us..if you click on my screen name in purple you can see my pics and 1st story. My right breast in my before pic (that I have in my computer)also was dropped. Why after this BA it is still hanging up is baffeling me?? Mine are almost the same but not quite after 5 weeks ..I still hope right one fills out. You have very nice breasts I know what you mean though with two different sizes...UGH! I also think that I am going for 575cc for a fuller DD. Let me know.

Did you get saline or silicone? maybe that has something to do with it. maybe it has something to do with what the doctor did to accomodate your breasts before to make them 'even' after surgery. what size did you go to from? they look good, but i would ask your doctor. maybe it is something he can go in and fix!!!

I was a very small a and after I became a very big b small c with 340 cc moderate profile saline implants. My breasts before surgery were uneven but it was unnoticeable. I def will be speaking to my surgeon soon about a revision.

Hey I am now about 7 weeks post op and I would like a revision. I also feel uncomfortable and wear a lot more baggy clothes. Did you get a reduced implant? If so how did it go? I got 350 cc and wish I had gotten 200

No I never did a revision. You're only a few weeks out of surgery and what you're seeing isn't what they will look like in a few months. The unevenness improved in my breasts but still slightly noticeable since my breasts were uneven before surgery. It doesn't bother me much. They also look more natural and are not as big as they were in the beginning. Just give it some time and you will see the change. What size were you before you had surgery?

Before surgery I was a B/ small C and now I fit into DD! I hope in time I'll start to like them. I actually went to the doctor today to get more info about getting a reduction and he seemed to think it was a bad idea. Besides the cost I also don't really want to go through with another surgery this soon. He quoted me $5000 to remove them and $6500 to replace them. The main reason I wanted to get a reduction was because I am used to looking very petite and slim and now I feel bigger looking. I just looked at your pictures and I think yours look really good in the four months post op pic. I can't even tell about the difference between right and left. What incision did you get them through and what size were you before?

depending on when you got it done i would speak to your surgeon. they say to give it 3 months and massage the one that is giving you the problem more. maybe it's because you use that arm more?? everyone is going to have concern i am sure! if you are right handed then maybe you work that muscle more and that's why it's so hard for it to go down... but that's just a guess! try lots of massage to that side. if you are still concerned after 3 months talk to your surgeon and maybe he could do a revision for free... since it would have been his causing it. Good luck!

Hi there! You had the revision done? If so, was it as painful, and where was the incision? How long after did you have the revision?

hi. i'm in the same boat as you. 5 months post-op today and the right one is still sitting way higher. my doctor wants me to wait one year (!!) until we can talk about revision surgery. going to give it another three months of massaging, but that's all i'm willing to wait. did yours drop on its own or are you still going in for revision surgery?

OMG! Your boobs look fine. I swear, just be glad you are not bottoming out( like I am dealing with at the moment). Wear a good support bra and massage them.. Neways, just relax it will be ok and it will drop eventually. Besides naturally one boob is always smaller the other neways. It is usually the dominate arm/boob is bigger.My left dropped first and then a few months my right did. Now 10yrs later my left one is bottoming out, ugh.. I'm scheduled for revision Sept. 21st.
