I had a BL/ BA w/ 425 saline moderate plus 5w ago. The L protrudes out much further than than the R and hurts constantly.

Question

I asked the dr to remove skin that was on the sides bc's bras pinched the skin and made it very uncomfortable. They are also very low in my opinion considering I had a lift. I Cant fit into any bras except sports bras because my breast are 2 different sizes, especially with one protruding way out. Saw Dr 2 days ago, said he hopes my left side will go in more and the right side will lift up more!! I don't see how that's possible for one side to magically "come up" where it should be.

I know it is incredibly scary and frustrating to not see ideal results immediately, but even at 5 weeks, you are still in the early stages of healing. It can take anywhere from 3-6 months for your breasts to fully heal, the swelling to subside and your implants to drop/settle and it is very common for each breast to do so at a different rate. So, be patient and wait for your final results. Hopefully, your issues will resolve themselves. Best, Dr. Nazarian

It is still early in the healing phase. Although from your photos it appears you still have some extra skin that may need to be revised in the future.

Without predicting that everything will turn out, at five weeks there is still considerable swelling and reshaping in front of you. Keep in touch with your plastic surgeon.

at 5 weeks you are still early in your healing.  Your breasts will continue to change. follow our surgeon's recommendations for now

Paul B. Mills, MD · Answer

It often takes 3 months before your swelling has completely resolved and the implants have settled into their final position.  Therefore it is difficult to truly assess your breast issues at 5 weeks.  Waiting is always the most difficult part of the procedure but continue to follow up with your plastic surgeon and follow the recommendations.  Thanks and I hope this helps.
