I think the main question to consider is how do you look? If you look quite symmetrical then everything is okay. You mention that your breast were different before. It is normal to have different abilities to feel the implant. Check in with your PS for a follow up. Best of luck!
Being able to feel the implants differently on one side versus the other is not uncommon. It really has to do with the tissue thickness of the breast in that area. This is normal for you.
The ability to feel an implant is based on several factors including the type of implant, the location (above or below the muscle), the size of the breast, and the amount of body fat. One side may be more obvious than the other, because the smaller breast has less tissue to camouflage the implant.
It is normal to have differences in feeling one side as opposed to the other. Once the process of healing is complete and the implant accommodates to your breast it will begin to feel normal. The process usually takes two to three months. The best thing would be to talk with your doctor and let them know your concerns.
Thank you for your question. It sounds like you may have had slightly different amounts of breast tissue on each side before your implants were placed. Because of this the same size implant may look slightly different on each side. Because there was less tissue on one side before surgery the implant may be more prominent when you push or touch it on that side. I remind my patients that perfect symmetry is almost never present in natural breasts. Accordingly perfect symmetry is almost never present after augmentation. if both sides are balanced you're happy with the overall results , I would not be overly concerned. If the asymmetry is significant enough to bother you it's great thing to discuss with your surgeon postoperatively.
It is fairly common to feel the implants along the lower pole at the inframammary fold where there is less soft tissue coverage If concerned, ask your surgeon.
It is not uncommon to feel 1 implant more than the other in the first few weeks after breast surgery. However you should see her plastic surgeon for an examination and opinion.
I suggest that you ask your neurologist/neurosurgeon about your concerns but in my experience, there should not be a correlation.
At only 1 week after after breast augmentation patients occasionally have some of these symptoms. When an axillary incision is used for breast augmentation, there can be stretch on the sensory nerves which can take a few weeks to go away. I would discuss these symptoms with your plastic surgeon...
It's best to listen to your surgeon. However, I generally advise patients plan to be off work for up to 5-7 days, although this can vary from person to person.
