Right breast changing shape. Is this due to extra weight I have gained? (Photo)

Thank you for sharing your question and photograph. There appears to be some implant malposition and possible capsular contracture taking place. Best to seek out an in-person examination to get the best advice.

Good morning,
The photo actually makes me think you may be developing some encapsulation, so I would visit your PS for an examination to see if they detect any firmness in your capsules and if so start treating you for it.

Dear Acup,
I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what went wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.

Yes, the weight gain has increased the differences you are seeing. Your implants are sitting somewhat high and your natural breast is more low. As you gain weight, the implant does not change, but your breast does and gets bigger. Try loosing the weight and see if you correct this.

Hello, and thanks for your question. It is most likely due to the excess weight gain, but thankfully, this can be fixed! I'd advise trying to get back to the weight you were at around the time of surgery and if they still don't look normal (which I doubt would happen), see your physician and discuss options. Please see a board-certified physician for your consultation. Best of luck to you!
