He ended up putting 385 in the left and 415 in the right. Are they always going to be uneven or do i need to wait until they drop and settle to see if they even out?
Answer: Uneven breasts! Dear jcmommyof2, breast asymmetry is one of the hardest things to correct. The reason for this is that breasts are different from each other in many ways, not just volume. Making up for the volume difference with different sizes of implants is a difficult guess and it's rarely accurate. By your description it seems that your left breast was larger to begin with so the difference that you still see may be due to the fact that the larger breast swells more after surgery because it has more tissue to swell. The correction will not be seen immediately although the difference between them should be less noticeable. It could be that the difference was underestimated and the correction will fall shy of satisfactory and would need to be redone. Often when the difference between the breasts is more dramatic volume adjustments with implants of different sizes is not enough or it may work against you. In your case the difference between your implants is 30 cc. If you need a greater difference then the smaller breast will be expanded much more than the larger breast accentuating the shape difference between them. It's not easy. Sometimes one or both of the breasts need to be lifted or reduced. Give it time and talk it over with your surgeon.
