4 months post op, right side is high - Do I need a revision? (Photos)

At four months post op you still may see a little more settling over the next couple of months before a revision would be recommended. Massaging around the implant may help. If your surgeon retired they often have someone take over for them. You may want to schedule a visit to that surgeon for an evaluation.

Thank you for your question.Some initial swelling in the breasts is expected after the surgery and this can often cause patients to think that there’s a difference in shape and size between the breasts. This may also make your breasts appear uneven in the first few days, weeks or even months after your breast implants are placed. It sometimes takes 3-4 months to settle down into final position. However, if there’s too much asymmetry in between the breasts it is not possible to make it even after the surgery either. I always let my patients know during their initial consultation that it is impossible to fix the asymmetry 100% but we can come as close as possible.

Thank you for submitting your questions and photos. I’m sorry you are experiencing some breast asymmetry after your augmentation. Based on your photos, it does appear that the right implant is sitting a little higher compared to the left. Being only 4 months out from surgery, there is still potential for it to continue to settle over the next few months. I recommend daily implant massage and giving it a few more months. Surgeons generally don’t recommend revising breast augs until at least 6-12 months after the initial surgery. I recommend seeking out a board certified plastic surgeon to monitor your progress. Good luck and thanks again for reaching out.
