As you can see in my after photo, one of my implants is clearly larger than the other. I did not notice any asymmetry before surgery, but now that I look back at my before photos, you can see that my breast were not the same. Will this get any better? Should my doctor have seen this? I plan on going back, but I went out of state so I'm just asking for an outside opinion for now. I am one month post op, 520CC, saline under muscle
Answer: Talk to your surgeon It seems as though your right breast preop was larger than the left. This should have been noticed preoperatively so that two different implant sizes could be place( a smaller implant on the right side and the larger implant on the smaller side). In any event, after 6 months, you might want to discuss placing a smaller implant on your right side. You should discuss your concerns with your surgeon.Best wishes,Dr. Ravi Somayazula

CONTACT NOW Answer: May be Best to Consult with Your Surgeon for Evaulation It is still quite early into your healing and it's not uncommon for #asymmetry as each breast heal quite differently. One breast may swell more, feel more uncomfortable, or have a different initial shape. After complete #healing, they will be more similar and natural. #Healing will continue for 2-3 months following your #breast procedure.

Answer: One breast implant larger than other? Thank you for your question. I am sorry to hear of your disappointment. Based on your photo it does look as though one implant is larger. You need to see your plastic surgeon to discuss whether a revision with a smaller implant as necessary.

Answer: One implant larger than other? Yes, you need to see your surgeon soon. If this size change happened after surgery, you need to figure out why.

Answer: One implant larger than the other? Thank you for sharing your question and photographs and I am sorry that your current appearance has caused you concern. If you had the same size implants placed once you are fully healed in 6 months any difference in size will only be that which was preexisting. I now waiting is difficult, but allow your results more time to mature and then assess your desire for any surgical revision. Hope this helps.
