My right breast implant is much higher than the left. I got the breast augmentation two months ago and my surgeon said it will drop, I just need more input.
Answer: Right breast implant higher than left? Thank you for your question and photographs, and it appears that you will have a very nice result. After placement of implants, the overall appearance of the breasts will change dramatically over the next several months, as the implants drop, and the overlying tissue stretches to accommodate the extra volume. At two months, your implants appear to be settling, with your left having dropped a bit sooner than your right. This is very common. I would anticipate your right breast implant to follow suit within the next several weeks. I know waiting is difficult, but judge your results at 4-6 months after surgery as most of your breast changes should have occurred by then. Hope this helps.

Answer: Uneven Breasts Thank you for your question.The two #breasts commonly heal quite differently. One breast may #swell more, feel more uncomfortable, or have a different initial #shape. Healing usually takes 2-3 months, but it may take up to a full year to see your final result. It takes time for the skin and muscle to stretch and relax around the new #implant. After complete healing, they will be more similar and natural. You must have patience, but if this causes concern, ask questions of your #boardcertified plastic surgeon.

Answer: Recovery It can take anywhere from 3-6 months for your breasts to fully heal and drop/settle into their final position and it is very common for each breast to drop/heal at a different rate. For now, be patient and if, at 3 months, you are still unhappy with how high the right breast is then schedule an appointment to see your surgeon. Best, Dr. Nazarian

Answer: Dropping Hello, one thing in addition to the rest of the comments... obviously you need more time and massage... but if you fail to settle on the right...you will have to consider the possibility of an capsular contracture. Too early to say that now, but I mention it because there is a oral medication that you can take that has been shown to help with capsular contracture. I would discuss this further with your surgeon if you fail to see improvement in the next several months. Good Luck.
