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.
