Please help! My implants don’t look right?

Hello,Thank you for your question and photo. I understand your concern. The significant swelling that you note on your left side should be assessed in person by your plastic surgeon as soon as possible.All the best 

Thank you for your question and photograph.  Your photograph indicates that you do, in fact, have significant swelling of your left breast.  Best to follow-up with your plastic surgeon for an evaluation.  Good luck.

Hi and400candy,

Thank you for the question and the photos. Based on your photos, there is significant difference between your two breasts. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for an in-person examination. Your surgeon can properly assess whether you have developed hematoma and the best course of action to resolve your concern.

It would be best to schedule an appointment with your surgeon as soon as possible. It is hard to determine your condition given the photo you have provided and an in-person examination would be the most accurate way to answer your questions. It seems the swelling is more persistent in your left breast as compared to the right. You have to understand, however, that you are still early in the healing process and it takes about 6 months to fully heal, and only by then will you be able to decide whether or not to undergo revision.

It is a little difficult to comment without seeing your preop photos and the attached photo is angled towards the more swollen breast. Saying that there appears to be a significant difference in size and best to see your PS to make sure there is no collection that needs treatment. 

I would contact your surgeon to be evaluated.  While asymmetric swelling occurs frequently you do have a visibly large discrepancy.  An in person evaluation will help determine if this is a hematoma vs swelling.  Best of luck, please contact your health provider as soon as possible.

There is a large discrepancy between the two sides. I would be concerned about a possible hematoma. You are best to review this with your surgeon.

When there is this much swelling and size discrepancy I worry that you may have a hematoma ( bleeding) on the larger side.  Please call your surgeon without delay to discuss this with them.

Based on the pictures posted, there is significant difference between the two side.This amount of size difference after breast augmentation should be examined by the surgeon to make sure there is no other causes. Call your surgeon ASAP

It does appear that one of your breasts has more significant swelling than the other and warrants a call to your surgeon.  It is too early though to judge the results from your surgery.  It can take 3-6 months for the breasts to soften and heal.
