Uneven implants? 8 weeks post op. 320cc teardrop polyurethane under the muscle. (photos)

Thank you for your question. You are very early in your healing. Your breasts will continue to change. If you are concerned, please see your plastic surgeon. 

Hello,Thank you for your question and photos. Some asymmetry is not unusual while healing and at 2 months you will still have some settling to do. The original volume difference you may have had will remain, but I recommend that you wait a full 6 months to evaluate your results.All the best

You are still very early in the healing process and asymmetry is very common at this point in time. Usually, asymmetries post-op are caused by persistent swelling. Each breast has a different rate of healing, which means they will have different times and areas of swelling and bruising. It is best to wait for about 6 months for your body to fully heal, as swelling will subdue and you will see your final results.

Thank you very much for your interesting question. I agree with the other surgeons in that it is slightly too early to assess symmetry completely. You will need to wait for 6 months following surgery for the swelling to have settled and for the implants to have settled too. Overall however I think you have got a good result from Breast Augmentation despite the mild asymmetry and I hope you are happy with the results of surgery. I agree with the answers of the other surgeons that a 3D Simulation may have been helpful prior to surgery. I wish you the best of luck for the future. 

Hi and welcome to our forum!
Healing after breast augmentation varies from individual to individual but usually takes 6-12 months to be completed. During the interim, there may be subtle and even not so subtle differences in size and shape between the breasts which will diminish over time as the tissues soften. If there is a significant difference between breast sizes, one may consider revisional surgery @ 6 months. If there is minimal difference, I would wait the full year.
Best wishes!

Textured tear drop implants take longer to reach their final look. They can also have specific problems like malrotation and a higher rate of revision.  I would suggest waiting 6 months to let everything heal and then re-evaluate. 

Thanks for the great question! It's difficult to know whether or not you would have needed different sized implants without seeing your pre-op photos. Some women can take a bit of time for the implants to fully drop. You're only 2 months out from surgery. I would wait at least 6 months before making a decision to do anything. Best of luck and congratulations on your surgery!~Dr. Sieber

Hello and thank you for your excellent question. Based on your photos, it is difficult to assess the degree of your asymmetry. If you are concerned, I suggest that you follow up with your surgeon, or seek a second opinion. Preoperative visualization and surgical simulation with the Crisalix system may help with your decision. I suggest that you find a board-certified plastic surgeon with whom you are comfortable. Be sure to have all of your questions answered during a face-to-face meeting with your surgeon, and review before and after pictures of patients who have had similar procedures. Good luck!
Best,
