Hello, my left breast isn't "dropping" like my right one. It also isn't as soft. I'm 5weeks post. Round silicon, high profile, 375cc in left and 350cc in right. will it eventually drop? possible it is capsular contracture? Left one has always hurt more from the beginning and the incision area is still swollen unlike the right side. (Left = with tattoo)
Answer: Your breasts may be dropping at different rates. Because breast augmentation is one procedure, it’s easy to think about your breasts the same way. But you’ve actually had two surgeries, one on each breast, and each breast may heal at different rates. It sounds like your right breast implant is simply dropping and softening quicker than the left, which can happen at 5 weeks after breast augmentation as your tissue starts to accommodate the implants. Your breast implants may take as long as 6 months to completely settle into the breast pocket and fully soften. Your left breast may also be healing a bit slower, which is why you are experiencing more pain and swelling. Let your body heal for another 4 or 5 months, then see if you like the results.

Answer: 1 month post op, some advices: Thanks for the question. In my practice, after performing a BA I recommend to my patients to limit the movement of the arms for two weeks. After that, you can move your arms taking care and always with common sense. In this regard, it's not advisable to carry heavy weights to prevent the implant out of position, and allow the formation of the physiological capsule around the implant, also to avoid pain and breast swelling. Kind regards,Dr. Emmanuel Mallol.-

Answer: Pre Operative Breast Tissue Envelope Asymmetry Hello,Based on your photographs, your current post operative appearance is predicted by your pre operative breast appearance. Your right breast appears in photographs to be smaller and 'tighter' with less skin excess and ptosis. This has a substantial effect on implant shape and position, and also how it feels. Although you will never achieve perfect symmetry, your right implant will drop more and should soften over the next 3 months.Best of luck!

Answer: One breast not dropping 5 weeks after augmentation As others have said, 5 weeks is still early in the recovery process. Overall your breasts look nice. It is important to note that one breast was lower and of different size and you have different size implants. You will always have some asymmetry, and much of the asymmetry you have now is due to preexisting asymmetry. It will take 6 months to see your final result.
