Help! Uneven Breasts 3 Months Post Surgery. Should I Wait? (photo)

May 10, 2012
Asked By:alex_n

I am 3mo post surgery - 230cc silicone breast implants. I had little asymmetry prior to surgery, and now have visible asymmetry with shape, size and nipple position. My right breast has a fuller tear-dropped shape with some rippling near the scar, and my left breast is visibly smaller than my right breast (specifically 1" smaller in width over the nipple and 1" shorter from base to belly button). Is this normal? Should I expect change in the next 3mo? If not, how can this be corrected?
