I am 4 months post op with 375cc saline implants under the muscle. At three months I was very happy with the results. At 3 and half months my left breast shifted down and towards the side. I know from my before picture that my left breast was a little lower and I know BA can make that more noticible. I went to see my PS and he of course said to wait until 6 months but I am very sad/frustrated and not sure if anything can be done to fix them. Please let me know what my options my be. Thank you.

Answer: Asymetrical Breast
The easiest solution is to lower the right side to match the right. Also, it seems that the right side may be alittle smaller. If so I would place in a slightly larger implant. Raising the right is not a good option.

Answer: Breast Asymmetry
Yes, most patients have asymmetry prior to surgery and we as plastic surgeon's try our best to adjust for that and improve things if possible. I perform lots of revisionary breast surgery and Although there is no scientific study regarding this situation, I like to wait 9-12 months before performing this type of revisionary breast surgery. This time frame will allow for both implants to “settle” as much as they are going to (so that we see the final results) and it also allows for capsule formation that will be helpful in capsulorrhaphy (internal repair). Make sure you have confidence in your surgeon and see many before and after photos of patients with the same problem. Experience is key for revisionary breast surgery.

Answer: Be patient to see final breast implant results.
I do advise patients to wait 6 months to a year to see the final result. Your breasts may not be done dropping.
