I am about 7 weeks out from my ba. I have 415cc under the muscle gummy bear implants. My surgeon had a difficult time with my left breast, the pocket was tight and the Breast sat higher for awhile but they looked great. This morning I woke and noticed that my right one has dropped a large amount and my left one is still higher. They are very uneven and it's making me nervous. Is this normal?
Answer: Breast augmentation implant displacement It appears that your right implant is lower then your left. That shoulder is lower as well. However, support of the left with tape, special bra, string shoelace technique and or straps may allow the body to hold the implant in proper position. It would need support for a minimum of 30 constant days. Best to see your plastic surgeon for their advise. Good luck...

Answer: Uneven boobs after 7 weeks ba. Thank you for your question and for sharing your photograph. It appears that your left breast has healed very well with an attractive shape and size. Your right breast has unfortunately fallen too low on your chest and has bottomed out. Correction will require a revision surgery to tighten the implant pocket along its lower border to help reposition the implant higher on your chest. Voice your concerns to your surgeon, they should offer you the appropriate treatment recommendations and if not, seek a second opinion from a board certified plastic surgeon. Best wishes.

Answer: Breast Augmentation Recovery I ask my patients to allow four weeks after surgery to decide on how they like the size etc. The placement of the implant is critical during surgery to preserve the breast ligament especially the crease. If one were to have a crease lowered too much it would have to be surgically repaired.

Answer: Bottoming out after breast augmentation surgery… I am sorry to hear about/see the problems you are having after breast augmentation surgery. I think your concerns are appropriate; the lower breast implant does seem to sit quite low on your chest wall, consistent with breast implant displacement ("bottoming out”). Also, consistent with the breast implant positioning problem, the nipple areola complexes seem to be sitting relatively high, because the breast implants have settled too low. I think you will benefit from revisionary breast surgery which will likely involve capsulorraphy ( internal suture repair). This procedure serves to reconstruct the lower poles of the breasts and prevent migration of the breast implants too far inferiorly. Associated issues with positioning of nipple/areola complexes should improve with this operation.

Answer: Uneven boobs after 7 weeks Thank you for your question and photo. My advice is to wait 4-6 months before considering a "final" result. That being said, based on your photograph, it seems that your right implant has fallen below the natural breast crease. Best to consult with your ps to determine if a revision would be necessary. Good Luck.
