I am 6 weeks post op. Left book has 325cc mentor and the right has 350cc. I m till seeing my surgical bra. My surgeon asked if I wanted to keep the fullness on the right side to which I said yes. He instructed me to wear an underwire bra t 2 weeks post op. I couldn’t do it since it was just too painful for the left breast. The right is too dropped down while the left looks good. Should I start wearing sports bra to keep them in place and to hopefully stop the right to keep dropping?

Answer: Give it time Discuss what interventions your surgeon usually uses when an early underwire is still too sore. However, at 6 weeks you're roughly 15% internally healed so it is too soon to make judgement on what your final result will look like. Reassess around 4 months!Best of luck!

Answer: Breast Implants, Breast Implant Revision, Implant Size, Breast Augmentation Symmetry while Healing Congratulations on having undergone the breast augmentation procedure. 6 weeks is to early to determine your final result. I ask my patients to wait 3-6 months before evaluating the end results of adapt to the changes in their breast size and shape as well as their overall new body image. There is a significant percentage of patients at your stage of recovery who feel that they are too big or (more commonly) too small. And those emotional feelings can change daily turning this transitional time. Remember also that each side of the body heals at a different rate and that you weren't perfectly asymmetric to begin with, there will always be differences. and other factors must resolve completely before you can make that determination. They may seem completely different at week 6 and by week 8 much more in symmetry. Once the swelling around the implants has also resolved you can see the final result. Patients often report that they are happier with the implants' shape their cleavage and projection once these changes occur. I would suggest continued patience and continued close follow-up with your plastic surgeon. for an outcome that you will be pleased with long-term.
