One breast larger than the other 6 weeks after breast augmentation. (Photos)

Right breast larger than my left. I feel as though both have dropped already. My PS said I had very slight asymmetry which we only noticed when she did the actual measurement. I didn't think it would be THIS noticeable. Is R breast is still swollen & the left breast is actual result? Maybe L breast still hasn't fully dropped and it will eventually look like the right breast? When I wear the sports bra and a fitted shirt the difference is noticeable :( Could starting birth control effect healing?

When treating women who are very athletic, I often recommend placing breast implants above the pectoral muscle rather than beneath it. This often results in a more comfortable recuperation and results that look and feel more natural. An over-the-muscle placement, however, may not be possible if...

Thank you for your question.  Having a pulling feeling after breast augmentation is fairly common and happens when your pectoral muscles get activated.  The implants will settle over the next several weeks and you will get used to these sensations.  As always, make sure you keep...

Will they look any bigger when they "drop and fluff"? Or at least have more fullness on the sides and bottom?

I think 2 weeks is too soon a time to comment on the results for breast augmentation. Let the implants settle down and merge with your breast and let the swelling settle down and only then you will be able to assess what the breast augmentations results look like. Wait for next 10-12 weeks for...

Yes, they can be removed, but it is not usually recommend it to do it this way. I would suggest seeing a breast surgeon specializing in diseases of the breasts for biopsy and removal at least several months before the breast augmentation.
