I had breast aug 6 mo ago. 395 on the left and 415 on the right. I always felt like the right side looked a tad larger despite the small cc difference. At about 2 mo post ofthey did look great though. Suddenly in the last 2 weeks the right breast has had major rippling I can feel clearly and now see, not to mention significant dropping making the right seem saggy and SO much larger than the left! I have an appt with my surgeon but am devestated at whatever is happening.

Answer: Breast Asymmetry I do see the volume discrepancy that you are describing. It also appears that the right breast has move skin than the left breast. I would like to see your preoperative photos as well, as I would bet that there was some asymmetry prior, specially with the skin envelope. At this point, I would say you need to discuss with your surgeon if he can try to get you move even with placing a slightly smaller implant on the right side or slightly larger implant on the left side to help even things out better. One word of caution is that with silicone implants in particular, when you start with asymmetry, it is very likely that there will be asymmetry after. However, the idea is to try to get them more even.

Answer: Post op pic Thanks for the question. It does not appear from your photo that you are bottoming out. It may be that your right breast hasn't dropped in the same manner as your left, or you may be getting a contracture on the right side (hence the rippling). Your plastic surgeon should be able to give you some answers after an exam. Best of luck!
