One Breast More Swollen After Breast Augmentation

The operations are performed as two separate procedure, and heal as such.  The will eventually feel the same, but it make take months.  Be patient!

Hi & thanks for your question.
You are still early in your recovery. It can take between 3 and 6 months for the implants to drop and settle into position. It is not abnormal for one breast to heal faster than the other, so one may be more sore and tender. Continue to follow your surgeons instructions and contact him/her with any concerns, Best of luck!

Thank you for the photo. You are still very early in your post operative course. It sounds like you had some asymmetries pre-op, hence the different surgical approaches and sizes of implants.  Breast implants tend to start dropping into place after 3 to 4 weeks. They usually will get to their final position in 6 to 12 months. One will usually drop faster than the other, and the shape may go through changes. Please follow your Board Certified Plastic Surgeon's post op instructions. For example; we like message, but some surgeons will have you wait, or do it in a specific manner. Please also let them know your thoughts and concerns.

Thank you for submitting your question and photo. Your very early in your recovery from breast surgery. Your breasts will soften and the shape will change over the next several weeks. The two separate approaches in each breast will lead to different recoveries.  Discuss your concerns with your Plastic Surgeon. Best wishes

It is common for a patient to experience different rates of healing for each breast. Pain levels can also be different. If the soreness is quite uncomfortable, I suggest you speak to your surgeon to make sure everything is okay. The best of luck!
