“Uneven Breast After Breast Augmentation? - Shanghai”
Spent: $10,600 in Shanghai
It's been 11 days after surgery and I'm feeling a bit down.
I went from a A/B to a full B (I hope)
My implants were done over the muscle. My PS told me that since I haven't had any children (to avoid my breast from dropping and having the double bubble effect) and I do a lot sports this was the best option for me.
I now notice that one breast is lower (right) than the other one, that one is bigger (right) and that my areola (PS recommended to get them smaller)are not even, one is pointing to the left (left) and its much bigger than the right one.
Is my left breast going to drop?
Is my right one going to get smaller?
Are my Areolas going to look even afterward?
I know it's only been 11 days but I see woman that look half way ok after surgery and mine look like a battle field.
Should I start to panic?
Any medical advise would be appreciated.
Thanks

From my first BO I went from a A/B to a C cup but wanted just a full B. I had to have revision after 6 months to try to get my L-breast even with my R-breast. The doctor cut an amount of skin and pulled it up to make the L-breast higher, healing process did not look good, my capillaries broke and I had small wholes that didn't want to close. 7 months after my 1st surgery and a month after the revision of my L-breast my Right-breast flipped up side down. I had to get a new surgery, new round implants instead of tear-drop and this time under the muscle. PS. said that he was going to try to do a Dual plane procedure and I specifically asked about the rippling and he told me that with this method rippling on the top of the breast is not visible because the muscles covers the upper part of the implant. Now I have rippling in the inner side UPPER area of my L-Breast(cleavage) and he tells me that there is not enough muscle over that area to cover the implant. I really don't even know if he did a dual plane or under the muscle or could he just have decided to place them again over the muscle. I feel horrible! And on top of it all I had to pay for the new round implants. He tells me the rippling can be fixed with fat transfer (I'm scared, as this procedure is not all that safe for what I've read) and of course the fat transfer can only be done in 6 months! I really don't know how some PS get away with this stuff.

And its always better to do under the muscle.
