Uneven swelling after breast augmentation, any suggestions? (photos)

February 5, 2016
Asked By:jodiecalder in England, DE

I am 10 days post op and worried about the difference in swelling from my right to my left breast. My left breast has 400cc and the right has 425cc due to a slight unevenness in my natural breast size. Also I asked my surgeon for a natural look but at the moment they look very fake and sit very high. I had high profile motiva implants under the muscle and went from a size 34b. Any advice would be great.
