Answer: Dropping implants 2 years after breast augmentation
Thank you for your question. Abdominal swelling is normal after breast augmentation. Swelling follows gravity and thus your abdomen (and sometimes the thighs) will experience more swelling and add confusion to the post-op period. You may even notice that you've added many pounds on the scale...
From your photos, there is some degree of asymmetry. It is impossible to tell from photos as to why. You should stay in contact with your surgeon to determine if this is related to internal bleeding/hematoma or normal differential swelling. The dissolvable suture should be falling out at 12 days...
Almost every woman has one breast that is slightly bigger or smaller than the other. Sometimes this is a very notable difference and sometimes it is minute. 25 cc is a small amount, but often just enough to balance the chest wall on a patient that has a slight volume asymmetry.
