Six months post op and my left side of boobs has dropped into a nice shape but the right side just wouldn't give in. My doctor said if after one year it gets worse, it will take a corrective surgery later down the road to cut open the muscle scar on the bottom of my right boob to make it "drop". He also gave me some muscle relaxer pill to take daily. Just wondering is this really my fate now? Is there any hope that the right one will eventually drop ? Any massage or pills that I can to facilitate that?
Answer: Breast Asymmetry Hello,This is not caused by muscle tension, so you do not have to take the a muscle relaxing pill. If there is a question of capsular contracture, there are no pills to take as well that have been shown to be effective. Similarly, implant massage exercises do not prevent or treat capsular contracture. This has been proven time and again, yet surgeons keep recommending it as though it is effective.At six months, you are ready to have a revision surgery. Go on a few second opinion consults with qualified surgeons: ABPS certified/ASAPS members.Best of luck.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Will the right one drop 6 months after breast augmentation? Hi Honeyblue,Thanks for your questions and photos. As much as you probably don't want to hear this, the short answer is that you will almost certainly need another procedure to adjust the right breast pocket and allow that implant to drop. After 6 months if there is (and I can see from the photos that you have a noticeable asymmetry) a continued difference in implant position, it will not change much, if at all without a surgical intervention. I would encourage you to have a frank conversation with your surgeon and explore your treatment options with them. Massage, muscle relaxers, and anything but a corrective procedure will be a waste of time. A second opinion from another board certified plastic surgeon in your area might be helpful as well.Best wishes!Dr. Brown

Answer: 6 months post op, one boob hasn't dropped. Any suggestions? Thank you for your question. It sounds as though you have a plan with your surgeon. Not knowing the details of your surgery restricts the advice U can provide. Speak with your surgeon there are massages and medications that can help. Best,

Answer: 6 months postop I would tend to agree with your surgeon. At this point you will likely require a surgical procedure to lower the implant. I recommend following up with your plastic surgeon to determine the proper time to have this corrected. At 6 months massage plays a very small role in helping to drop the implant. Also I would highly suggest asking yourself how much the asymmetry bothers you. Although surgery will help to correct the asymmetry there is no absolute guarantee that it will be "perfect". Also, I recommend reviewing your before pictures with your surgeon to see if there were any differences in size, or fold position.Best wishes,Dr. Ravi Somayazula

Answer: Implant asymmetry Thank you for your post. The asymmetry that you have in the photograph is subtle, but I do see what you're talking about. At six months out from surgery, the result is not likely to change very much at this point without corrective surgery. Releasing the scar at the bottom aspect of the right breast implant pocket would likely allow the implant to come down just a bit to make it balance better. I would continue to follow with your surgeon
