Hello. I am 6 days post op from getting 430cc UHP silicone unders. The first day I saw my breast (post op day 2) they looked perfect. As time has gone on it seems like my left breast has become more sore and larger than the right. My left breast was smaller before surgery. I know I am only a few days out and it takes time for things to settle the way they should. I am trying not to worry but it's hard not to do so. I have called my PS, waiting for a call back.
Answer: Breast and symmetric healing after augmentation Thank you for your question and for sharing your photos. During the post-operative period the breast are swollen, and the breast implants appear in a much higher position. Over time they descend and fills out the lower half of the breast. In addition, it is not uncommon for one breast to be more swollen than the other and may even out with time (unless they were asymmetric in size to begin with). It may take several months for this to happen and can be encouraged with breast massage and compression. It may appear that the breast enlarges as the lower aspect of the breast fills out (at the expense of the upper portion of the breast).

Answer: Breasts often he'll asymmetrically after breast augmentation. Slight volume asymmetry after breast augmentation is fairly common. Major asymmetries should be brought to the attention of your surgeon as a fluid collection might have generated this problem and would require drainage. I don't see anything in the photographs to be worried about.

Answer: Breasts uneven after augmentation This is a great question, I hear it every day! It is COMPLETELY NORMAL for one breast to be larger or higher than the other breast after augmentation. It takes several weeks for the swelling to resolve and for your implants to settle.So it's important for you to keep all your appointments with your plastic surgeon and to follow his/her advice.I hope this helps and wish you all the best!Dr Knoetgen

Answer: Early symmetry issues after a breast augmentation You had some degree of asymmetry prior to surgery. I would expect that after the initial healing period your breasts will be more even but you will not achieve absolute symmetry.
