Does this asymmetry look typical for 3 weeks post mastopexy augmentation? (Photos)

Great question!  Being only 3 weeks out is very early to tell what the final outcome will be.  Sometimes one breast can be more swollen and take longer to heal than the other and soften at different times.  Do realize that breasts are more like "sister" than "twins", there will always be a small size and shape difference.  I would continue to wait as nothing can be done at this time anyways.  It will take at least 3-4 months before they begin to even out.
Best of luck and hope this information helps!

Dear LVM9, Thank you for your photos and questions. I can appreciate the difference in volume and position in one breast versus the other. However, you are very early in your postop course. Most of the swelling will dissipate in the first 3 months and the rest can take up to one year. It is also very normal for one breast to have more swelling that the other or one implant to take a little longer to settle. I would continue to see your plastic surgeon in postoperative visits and explain your concerns. Good luck, Dr. Suzette Miranda Board Certified Plastic Surgeon 

Dear LVM9,You are still early in the healing process and may still have some swelling. Contrary to popular belief, the swelling can be asymmetrical. By 6 weeks after surgery you should be settled out an have a clear idea of volume. Just give it more time and follow-up with your surgeon.Best regards,Nirmal R. Nathan, M.D.

Dear LVM9,
I understand your concern and it is quite normal to be concerned about the outcome following a breast augmentation surgery. However, you are still in the very early stages of the healing process.Your will need to be patient at this moment and follow what your surgeon has instructed you to do post operatively.At the early stage of the healing process, the tissues around the implants are still swollen. Once the swelling subsides and the implants drop to their final position, you will be able to see the final result of your breast augmentation surgery.

Thanks for your question LVM9!
It is very normal for one breast to recover a little faster than the other and at just 3 weeks post op you are still in the very early stages of the healing process.  Swelling can take at least 3 months to settle down and for your breasts to settle into their final position, therefore it is important for you to allow your body time to recover and heal.  Always keep open communication and discuss any of your concerns with your board certified plastic surgeon though. If you are still concerned after 3 months with any asymmetry definitely do not hesitate to discuss this further with them. All the best!
Thanks again! :)
