“Breast implants results - concerned about uneven nipples”
Cost: $7,000Pain: Mild
Breast implants satisfaction: Fair
I do not recommend my Breast implants provider: Name not provided
Why: Not sure about any recommendation.
Seeking help:It is true that uneven nipples will be better after my implants will settle down? It is just matter of time passing?

It is now two month after my surgery. My breast is still uneven and my left breast is lower plus the scar seems to pull down, please look at the pictures. I am not very good explaining what I mean. I feel not very happy after a $ 7,000 procedure.
Please somebody respond, I need somo kind of support.

I had a surgery on the first week of July. I have now hard scar tissue, harder on my right breast as you can see from the pictures. Also it is lower then the left, never changed as I was assured. It doesn't go away. I had two steroid injections one month apart in September and October. It is even worse because now I have two limps under skin. What do you think? It is just matter of time? I am worried.

Do you think I should to go back to my surgeon and undergo an additional surgery to correct the problem and to reduce the appearance of my scars?
I had breast augmentation surgery on July 10, 2009.
As you can see from my pictures, my scars are noticeable after the surgical incision and my skin did not heal properly
Review of Breast implants:After two and an half weeks for breast implant I see that my nipples are uneven. Today my surgeon tolm me to wait and that it is not a big deal. It is for me. I am really concerned.

My surgeon told me yesterday to wear the elastic band agai, at night to help pushing down my left brest. It is that correct?

I posted some pictures of my breast augmentation (performed on July 10th, 2009). You can see before and after pictures.
From the very beginning I was not particularly happy with the results. It is very obvious that my nipples are not even. I know they weren’t even before the procedure but I have to say I had higher expectations. My breasts are uneven and I have extremely noticeable scar tissue. As you can see from the pictures, the problem is very visible on the right side where the aureole is “pulled” and its color is dark red.
I followed all specific instructions given by my surgeon (massages and Kelo cot ointment and so forth) but results did not change.
What are my options? An additional surgery that I would have to pay out of pocket? And most importantly: should I trust the same surgeon to operate on me again?
Thank you for your response.

Hi Sad Girl,
Another RealSelf has a similar issue to yours. She was two weeks out of surgery when she posted this thread, so perhaps you can pull some advice from it?: Uneven nipples after Breast Augmentation and Lift
Hope this helps and good luck with your recovery.

Your nipples are indeed uneven. However judging from your pictures they may have been very uneven before the surgery. Unless a breast lift is performed to even out the nipples, the unevenness of the nipples does not go away. Although your left breast appears slightly higher, pushing down the implant further will increase the apparent asymmetry of the nipples. You may want to discuss these specific issues with your doctor.

Thank you for your opinion Doctor Moelleken. Yes, I was uneven before the surgery. You can see my "before" pictures. However the surgeon told me that he was going to do his best to correct the unevenness. I would appreciate a honest scenario: the diffent size the unevenness of the nipples do not go away. Three months after I am not so pleased about the procedure.
