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: Aug Result The soft tissue will relax over the next 12 months following a breast augmentation. If the implants that were placed were too large, the dissection inadequate/overaggressive, or if the implants were placed above the muscle...these factors in isolation or in combination can lead to the problems you are seeing. I would recommend seeing a plastic surgeon with excellent training in breast surgery and particularly revisionary breast surgery as I would recommend exchanging the right implant for a smaller implant with a potential horizontal mastopexy to reduce nipple-to-fold distance. These are just my opinions as an aesthetic fellowship trained plastic surgeon. Best of luck!

Answer: Implants You do have a larger implant on the right side and will be able to feel more of the implant. Do wear a good supporting bra. There may be a little bottoming out from the weight of the implant.

Answer: Is this bottoming out? In your photo the volume asymmetry between right and left can be seen. A preoperative photo would be helpful so that the previous asymmetry could be compared to this photo. Your surgeon should be able to address the concerns that you mentioned as well as advise of potential corrective measures.

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.
