Hi. I am 6 days post op. I had severe scoliosis as a teenage and had a spinal fusion to correct it. I still have a slight curve (15 degrees) and wondered if that could affect the outcome of my breast augmentation ? It looks as though one implant may be "dropping" more quickly but now I'm worried my curvy spine could make my new larger breasts appear more uneven than before surgery. Does anyone have experience with this problem ?

Answer: Asymmetry Asymmetry is not only common but is normal. The goal for surgery is to make them look similar. Remember that some obvious asymmetry is not noticeable to the untrained eye.You are still in your early postoperative phase after breast augmentation so be patient wait at least 3-6 months before you make any judgment. I feel that you have great results.Best Wishes,Nana Mizuguchi, MD

Answer: Scoliosis and Breast Augmentation Good Afternoon! Great question! First of all you should know you can always consult your questions with your plastic surgeon, I'm sure she/he will be happy to help you in the post-surgery care and doubts. It's important to know that scoliosis could affect the final result and symmetry of your breast augmentation, this should be evaluated before your surgery and take into account when estimating size of implants to be placed on each side . However it's too soon to know as you should wait at least 3 months so see the final position of your breast, by this moment is completely normal that they drop a little.
