I had an under the muscle breast augmentation 4 months ago. My left breast has not dropped at all. I’ve been wearing a surgeon prescribed binder and performing massage for the last two months with no change. Additionally, I’m now starting to wonder if my right implant is dropping too far. There is no volume on the top of the breast. I feel incredibly self-conscious and unhappy. My surgeon insists on waiting another two months before even considering the need for a revision.

Answer: Implant asymmetry Thank you for your question. First, waiting six months from the time of the original surgery is 'standard' so I don't see anything unreasonable about that. However, I don't thing's will change significantly, although all tissues will get softer. The size and shape of the right breast appear acceptable. The left breast is more complicated. Although many would say that early capsular contracture is to blame, another thing that must be considered is the disproportional relationship of the pectoral muscle and the breast tissue/parenchyma. When the latter is corrected, the implant can be in a better position. A lot depends on the experience and knowledge of your surgeon. Seeking another opinion after his/her recommendation at six months is a good thing.

Answer: Surgery You still may drop over the next two months. I would suggest wearing a bra band and doing ultrasound treatments to encourage it to drop.
