I got a breast aug three days ago. 385cc on the left and 415cc on the right. I was a B cup before the surgery, but now i still look a B cup. The left one (where smaller implant was placed) looks huge compared to the right. I understand that this may be due to swelling, but why is the breast with the bigger implant so tiny & pointy? It looks just as small as it did before surgery. There is also a piece of my areola missing on the left where the tape covers it. Not sure what to think right now..

Answer: Results 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.

Answer: Please help! My implants don’t look right? 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.
