Are my Implants Just Healing Very Slow? (photo)

Please wait until about three to four months after your surgery to assess your results. By this time, your breasts will have taken on a more natural contour, where the lower breasts become softer and rounder. Natural tissue expansion occurs to allow this to happen, with the help of gravity. Please wait until at least your fourth month to consider revision surgery.

Thank you for your question and photos. Your results look good. Your also very early in
your recovery from breast implant surgery. Over the next few weeks your
breasts will soften and change. Final results take 3-6 months. Discuss your concerns with your
surgeon and follow his instructions. Best Wishes

Four weeks post surgery is too early to comment on the result that yuo can expect in the longer run

I agree that there is a difference between the left and right sides, and we all hope that this settles with time.  Now is not the time though to assess the differences and assume there is a problem

Give it time and stick to yuor surgeons post operative instructions

Minor asymmetries before surgery frequently lead to differing rates of healing after surgery.  The left implant being the larger implant is heavier and may settle faster than the right.  I support post operative bands to help keep implants relatively even in the post operative period.  Depending on the implant, I also recommending massage maneuvers to help the implant shift.  I would contact your surgeon and express your concerns and certainly be patient for your final result.  It takes times and your result will be quite different 6-12 months after surgery.

Hello,

Unfortunately it is impossible to answer your question, but it is unlikely that it has to do with 'slow healing'.  Currently your right breast implant is sitting higher than the left, which is contributing to the pre-surgical lower position of the breast tissue and nipple on the right.  It is entirely possible that things will improve, but at 4 weeks an asymmetry like this usually doesn't completely correct.

I don't think you should have expected a symmetrical result if you were asymmetrical before surgery (size and shape difference), and you opted out of a breast lift.  Nor should you have expect 'perky' breasts with extra large implants; no matter how big the implants, your nipples will remain low on the breast mound afterward.

It is still early, and your saline implants will be pounding away at your tissues over the next few months (water hammer effect), changing your breasts' appearance, and unfortunately thinning and stretching your tissues.  You should re-assess at 6 months and then determine if you would like a revision surgery to address any issues you might have.

Best of luck.
