I'm 4 days post op. I know it's very soon, but I can't help but wonder if the reason why there's such a significant difference in size is because one has dropped a bit more than the other. My post op appt is in 2 days, but I just want some insight to ease my mind until them. Or I guess more of clarification? Both are 350cc Sierra smooth round hp

Answer: First off, don't worry. It is very early and it does appear that your right implant position is a bit higher than your left. Since you are seeing your surgeon in two days, that's a good thing. If we were seeing you in the office we would probably recommend wearing a bandeau which is an elastic that wraps around you and sister above your breasts and exerts gentle downward pressure. In addition, some gentle massaging in the downward direction will almost certainly help bring the implant down, but do not do this without explicit instructions from your surgeon. Hopefully this will straighten out on its own, but I would recommend a continuous close follow up with you surgeon. Good luck.

Answer: Did one breast drop and the other didn't? Thank you for your question. You are right, it is very soon after surgery, and it is too early for you to worry about positioning. Between swelling and the positioning of the implants, it can take 3 to 6 months for most patients for the final result and positioning. It looks very normal for this soon after surgery.If you would like more information regarding breast augmentation, you can download a free copy of my breast augmentation planner at ABetterBreast.com.Best of luck to you.
