How come my left breast has gotten bigger after my uplift and implants? (Photos)

Question

I have had a breast uplift and implant on my left side and an implant only in my right. I had my operation December 2023 so it has been 10 months now, they started off the same size and spacing but I feel like my left side has gotten fuller especially on the outter aspect of the breast and my right implant and breast size has stayed the same. Would this even out over time? Could it relate to weight gain (I’ve gained 6lbs) or is this the natural shape it’s settled it now? photos attached

Connie Hiers, MD, FACS · Answer

It is probably from weight gain. You have two different breasts, and they may not enlarge equally with weight gain. At 10 months, you are settled. The difference is mild and probably will not be noticed in clothing.

It would be helpful to know if your implant size is equal on both sides.
Perhaps you had more breast tissue on the right side?
If that’s the case, then weight again could make the bigger breast gain increased volume faster than the smaller size.
Follow up with your plastic surgeon to get an assessment and talk about potential treatment options.
It’s hard to give you a quality assessment with limited information.
Best,
