14 weeks post opp (450cc ultra high profile) Seen my surgeon other day he said they are fine as my left breast was slightly lower to start with, feel like my left one has dropped to much compared to the right it’s a noticeable difference Will this get better in time my surgeon said my nipples are pointing forward so they are fine but I’m not happy at all.. advice please
Answer: Roughly 3 months post-op - Will my breasts start to even out? No they are unlikely to get better.If you had a difference pre-op, you would have needed a lift on the left side (or both sides) to get to symmetry or have agreed to accept the difference you see - of course the weight and size of the implant can make such differences more noticeable and stretch the breast further down (weight + gravity).

Answer: Will my breasts start to even out? Dear Intuitive211441 Thanks for sharing your story and photographs. It is difficult to make a judgement without seeing your pre surgery photos or without a clinical examination. Looking at the photos, it seems that the breast fold on the Left side is sitting lower than the Right side. This might have been the case even before surgery so I assume your surgeon must have pointed that out to you. There is a small possibility that during the course of surgery the left breast fold was damaged and that resulted in your implant to sit lower. Regardless of the reason, it is too early to seek any intervention. You should wait at last 5-6 months from surgery. After 6 months the implants should have descended behind nipples and the shape will look more natural. If at that stage this asymmetry of the breast folds still persists then your surgeon can offer you a form of symmetrization surgery to address the issue. I hope you find this explanation useful.

Answer: Breast Augmentation Hi & thanks for your question Implants can take up to 6 months to drop and settle. Give it the full 6 months to heal. Contact your surgeon then if you are still not happy with the results. best of luck!

Answer: 3 months post-op - Will my breasts start to even out? Without pre operative photos it's hard to predict how much better symmetry you will attain with time. If your left breast was lower prior to surgery than it likely will remain lower after surgery. The degree of asymmetry shown in your photos suggest that you may benefit by a revision when the breasts are fully healed.

Answer: Breast implant Bottoming out Hi there. It's difficult to judge a result without the pre-op photos. It appears however that your Left implant has bottomed out. The Left fold is lower and the upper pole is less full. A pre-operative asymmetry may have contributed to this. It also appears that your nipples are sitting almost level, which makes me think that your Surgeon may have dropped the Left fold to balance the original asymmetry. In my opinion your Left breast (and possibly the Right too although to a smaller degree) would have benefited from a lift in the first instance. This would have allowed to obtain symmetry in both shape and nipple position without lowering the Left fold. It would have given you also a longer lasting result. Of course the big tradeoff is the additional scars. If you don't like the result now you will probably need revision surgery in the near future to correct the bottoming out. You will need to decide whether you want a proper correction of your original asymmetry, which will involve additional lift scars. The alternative will be to just have the Left fold reinforced and the implant pushed higher and settle with the Left nipple pointing downwards. I hope this helps.
