Is this common that it will correct itself or do I need a revision ? I have been massaging a little and stopped pain meds. My left side feels great but right is a bit harder and definitely higher. I can't tell if it's actually smaller or just sitting higher. I have saline under the muscle 350 filled to 380 CC on both sides.

Answer: Asymmetry after augmentation Thank you for your question. It is not uncommon after surgery to have some asymmetry as the breasts do not heal at exactly the same time. It can take several weeks or months for the implants to settle into their final position. Best of luck to you!

Answer: Asymmetry Some asymmetry after surgery is not uncommon and may have been there before but you are very early in the post operative period, just 8 days it seems. Often times if an implant is placed submuscularly and an implant is lower on one side it may be because the person is right hand or left hand dominant and the implant is being pushed by constant use of that one arm. Check with your board certified plastic surgeon and see what they think of the asymmetry. Sometimes a bandeau can help push the side that is riding too high. Best of luck, MMT
