“350cc silicone implants, under muscle - uneven size”
Breast implants: Worth it
Cost: $4,100
Pain: Uncomfortable
Review of Breast implants:Pain: Uncomfortable
Breast implants satisfaction: Fair
I recommend my Breast implants provider: Name not provided
Why: Very happy with his work, just have small differences in breast.
The surgery went great. Not too much pain. My breast was starting to look real nice and getting softer, than all of a sudden it seemed like the right one is smaller and higher up than the left.
I had 350cc silicone implants under the muscle, and I am a small petite girl, well, 24 years old. The thing that has me baffled is they started looking this way almost over night. I didnt notice a dramatic difference in appearance until recently. I am alomst 10 months post op.

Dear Unhappy Patient, before your surgery you may have had some difference in size and shape of your breasts. The left implant is sitting lower relative the nipple and lower that the implant on the right- resulting in the left nipple pointing up. The right Breast implant is sitting a little too high. To correct this the pockets need to be adjusted so that there is more symmetry- This involves surgery....

What kind of implants did you have (tear-drop shape), specifics? Do you have any pre-operation photos? Were you originally an A cup?

Dr Born is right. I had the same thing happen to me. I have just had a revision(2 days ago), where the surgeon dropped the crease lower on the side that was too high. So far the results are amazing!

I think your breasts look really nice. Yeah, there may be some difference but I'd be happy to look at those on a woman. Don't let it bother you.

It does bother me! I mean, I know it was elective surgery, I knew there was risk's... but this I think could have been avoided. I'm just so upset about it.

I had to look really hard to notice it, but I do see what you are saying. I have considered implants and didn't know this could happen, thanks so much for sharing. P.S. They look super.

Good day, Hopefully by now you have had a resolution of your complaint to your satisfaction. I would say that without seeing your preoperative photographs, it is difficult to know whether this was expected or not; certainly there is the risk of unevenness with any operation. Also, the frontal photograph you've included is taken from a little too high a vantage point - more straight on would show the position better. Overall, my best advice is to be sure that you are communicating well with your plastic surgeon, and if you are not, then consider seeking a second opinion from a reputable board certified plastic surgeon in your area. Best of luck, Brian K. Brzowski, MD, FACS Ogden, UT
