Hi there, Thank you for your question. Hematoma is a complication that can happen after breast augmentation. It is normal for the affected breast to be larger vs. the breast that did not have the complication. Please speak with your surgeon to ensure you are healing well. Best, realdrsix
The breast that had the hematoma will take longer to heal than the one that didn't so yes, this mild asymmetry is perfectly normal. It should resolve on its own with time.
Hi, PrettyRacquel08. Congratlations on your breast augmentation! Looking at your photo, the amount of asymmetry you have is within normal. It is to be expected that you will have more swelling and inflammation due to the hematoma, and it will take a little extra time for the right breast to catch up with the left. Also, because of the extra inflammation, the right breast may be tighter and this will cause the implant to sit a little higher. Your tissues are thin and appear to be tight and the implants are large, which also adds more pressure. Best of luck, and I hope that you continue to heal uneventfully and have great results!
Your breasts look pretty symmetric and the one with the previous hematoma will likely have some more swelling than the one that did not.
It is not unusual for the breast that had the hematoma to still be somewhat larger at this time. Please keep all your follow up visits with your surgeon and follow all your post operative instructions. You did choose large implants and it will take time for your tissues to relax and the implants settle.
Hematoma after breast augmentation should be an uncommon event. It does happen on occasion. As long as the accumulated blood is removed, it should not change your outcome. Leaving accumulated blood in the pocket can increase risk of infection an capsular contracture. Having one breast implant sit higher than the other at this early date is very common. Sometimes wearing a bandeau push down bra can help with high implant position.
It is very difficult without seeing you in person to know if the implant sizes you mentioned are appropriate for you. Keep in mind that the difference between 370 cc and 400 cc is minimal. Also, implant size selection depends on your unique measurements, so what may be too small for one woman ...
Hi Kadi,It sounds like you may be developing a capsular contracture around the left breast. You should follow the instructions of your surgeon as it sounds like he/she is trying to get you to massage one of the breasts more to relieve it. At this point, there is not a lot you can do, other than...
It depends on your breast shape, and width of your chest wall. Generally, rounder implants with greater projection may look "more fake"
