So i am 1 week post op, and my left breast (which got a slightly bigger implant, 520 cc) seems way larger and heavier on my body than my left (480cc) It causes me some discomfort, like pulling. But i dont feel this in my other breast. Is this normal? Also in the picturen of my right breast, does it look like it will drop and look like a regular breast eventually? Because im concerned my left breast is dropping before my right
Answer: Recommendation Hello. Thank you for your inquiry and congratulations on your surgery! It is important to have an in-person medical assessment regarding this issue as it is difficult to determine virtually. Continue to update your doctor in the matter and follow their post-op protocol. Please ensure to get cleared by your doctor before engaging in specific physical activity before the 3 month healing period has ended as the healing stage is crucial for healthy results. It generally takes around 6 months to a year to see your final results. Your tissues will take time to relax and allow your implants to "Drop and Fluff" settling into place. Should a revision cross your mind, it is best to wait at least 6 months to a year before doing so. Our tips for recovery following breast augmentation are to wear a supportive sports bra for 3 months post-operative and refrain from lifting anything heavier than 10 lbs for 3 weeks as we don't want any strain at your incision sites. Make sure to keep the area of your stitches clean by cleansing with hydrogen peroxide daily. Showering is encouraged!

Answer: Is discomfort on one side normal 1-week post-op breast augmentation? Yes, discomfort can persist for 3 weeks after breast augmentation and can be more common in the larger side implant. It is also very common for one side to drop faster than the other. It will take 8-12 weeks to see the final position of your implants which will continue to drop more than they are now. Of course the best person to anterior question is your plastic surgeon..
