one breast higher than other, but the breast higher is more soft. i am 3 weeks out. Saline, 380cc (right) 420cc (left), Hp, under muscle. I noticed that my right has been much firmer, sore, and tight compared to the left with the more cc's. The left is very soft, not sore, and appears smaller even though it is the one with more CCs. The right is very tight and sore. is this normal? what could it be?
Answer: Breast augmentation You can expect to have continued 'dropping' of the implant for up to one year. After that, gravity and tissue stretch will continue to 'soften up' the appearance of your upper breast and give you a more natural appearance. To clarify, implants don't actually 'drop' (at least they shouldn't) after surgery. What actually happens is that the chest muscle and breast skin in the upper breast continue to stretch and relax giving the appearance that the upper part of the breast is getting flatter (and thus the implant appears to have 'dropped'). In reality, the implant stays in the same position and the relaxed muscle and skin allows the implant appearance in the upper breast to go from a bulging look to a more natural appearance.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Breast softening after surgery Thank you for your question. Congrats on the surgery. It may take months for the breasts to soften and settle, and they may never soften to the pre-surgical state. In addition, the greater the implant to breast tissue ratio, the more the implant will affect the longterm firmness (or softness) of the breast. It is also normal for one breast to soften before the other. I would exercise patience and see how things change with every few weeks that pass by.

Answer: One Breast larger and firmer than the other 3 days post op There are many factors that can potentially cause the difference in feel. some of them are completely normal, others could potentially be a minor problem. The normal things are swelling, which is not always symmetric, a tighter muscle on that side, or the use of different size saline implants. I understand that your left implant has a larger volume than your right, but the feel also depends on what size implant that volume was placed into. Your left could be a 420 implant filled with 420 saline, which would be soft. Your left could be a 350 implant filled with 380 saline, which would make it feel more firm. You could also have a seroma (collection of fluid) around the right implant, making it feel more firm as well as looking slightly larger. There are several potential causes. The best thing to do is speak with and be evaluated by your Plastic Surgeon.

Answer: Differences 3 weeks after breast augmentation Hi. Your breasts will change for at least 3 months after the operation (sometimes up to 12 months), and your implants are likely to down a little over this time and your breasts change shape. It is normal for one breast to go a little faster than the other in terms of settling down after the operation. Try to be patient at this stage and wait until all the postoperative changes have finished before assessing things

Answer: Is it normal to have one breast softer than the other and a different size, 3 weeks after Breast Augmentation? Yes, this is very common after only 3 weeks following surgery. It is too soon to see the final results of your surgery as you can have residual swelling for up to 6 months. It is not uncommon for one side of the body to heal at a different rate than the other. You must be patient. Be sure to follow your surgeon’s post-operative instructions and should you have any concerns contact or visit your surgeon’s office.
