Why are my boobs so uneven when I lay down? (Photo)

Question

I am 9 months post op 375cc mentor mod plus silicone and my right boob is slighter higher than my left but my surgeon said I still had a great result which I felt like was a truthful statement even tho I wish they were perfectly even. I just noticed how uneven they are when I lay down they look so ugly and crooked. What could this be from? I even noticed slight rippling in the right one on my cleavage. Im just not sure where to go from here. Thank you

The photos are helpful but only an in person examination and possibly your pre operative photos would help to know what is causing your asymmetry.  I'm unsure if the right breast is shifted up due to capsular contracture or the left breast has settled too far.  If your plastic surgeon isn't addressing your issues, consult with another.

I think that photos with your standing would be helpful. I do see the asymmetry you are talking about when you are lying down.

Sanjiv Kayastha, MD · Answer

Please resubmit your question with a preoperative and a standing photo if possible. I would like to see if you have the same amount of asymmetry when you are standing. Some causes of your asymmetry may include prior asymmetry, different size implants, capsular contracture or different implant pockets.

Thank you for your question.  Based on pictures I agree you have asymmetry. But it is helpful if we can see pre op pictures.  If you are concern, please take a second opinion from other PS

Brooke R. Seckel, MD, FACS (retired) · Answer

Thank you for your question. I do see your asymmetry. Either the left pocket is too large or the right is too small or possibly a capsule is forming on the right. Only an exam can tell what the problem is. If your surgeon is unresoponsive to your requests seek a second opinion with a board certified plastic surgeon.
