Uneven breast implants. 5 month post op (Photo)

From your photos it looks as if your surgeon placed your incisions in the correct spot. It is just that one implant has settled lower than the other. With that being said, schedule an appointment with your surgeon and he or she will be able to numb the local area, open your incision and open that pocket allowing your implant to fall exactly where it needs to be. I wish you the best of luck and I hope you have found this information helpful to you!

Thank you for your question and photos.  It appears that your left breast has bottomed out.  You should be seen in person by your operating surgeon to discuss a revision.All the best,Dr. ResultsMiami, FL

You should only consider a breast revision 6-9 months post op. The final appearance, shape, and movement are not exactly the same as normal breasts. The surgically enlarged breasts do not move in the same way as normal breasts. They tend to be firmer. The contours are usually somewhat different than normal breasts. In some patients these discrepancies may be rather noticeable. Although every effort is made to place the implants symmetrically, complete symmetry is rarely achieved. Immediately after surgery, the breasts are swollen and firmer. The final shape and size is approximated after 2 to 3 months, but up to one year may be required for the end result.

Thanks for the question. To think about revision we need to wait 6 months. In one more month I recommend you to send your photos again to give you better advices.Kind regards,Dr. Emmanuel Mallol.-

If you look closely, you're breasts are at totally different levels. Your nipples are at different places on the breast. You also had really large implants placed, which are highly variable depending on how they're placed. Your incisions have ridden up onto the breast and your left implant has bottomed out significantly from where it started. When that happens, the nipple rides upwards, opposite the direction of the implant.Bottoming out can be corrected with surgery to re-secure the implant to a higher position, but boy is that tough when the implant is 500cc.

Thank you for your question and providing photos. Based on your photos it appears one breast has settled lower than the other. This can be fixed but will require a surgical procedure called a capsulorrhaphy. I would recommend you discuss this with your PS. Best of luck

Your photos show some asymmetry between the two breasts.  It does look like one is a bit low. You might need a pocket revision.

Thank you for your question.It appears that your left implant has moved downward and has stretched the pocket.   The term for this is "bottoming out".    I will require a small revision to repair the stretched out portion of the pocket.   Most healing has been completed by 6 months after surgery.   I would wait at least another month to be sure the right implant doesn't bottom out as well.   At that time discuss it with your plastic surgeon, if you haven't already, to see about a revision surgery.   

It appears that your left breast has bottomed out. There are a number of ways that this can be improved. All of these techniques close off the excess lower pocket in one way or another. Discuss your concerns with your surgeon. 

Hello dear, thanks for your post and provided information as well. Patience is one of the most important factors in achieving the best results in cosmetic surgery. We all want to see the final result as early as possible. Unfortunately, the healing process is complicated and takes time. The surest way to get a poor result is to undergo revision surgery before your body is ready for additional surgery.Breast augmentations take about six months for the swelling to go down and the breasts to settle and assume their final size and shape. When we do a breast enlargement, surgeons try to center the implant behind the nipple. Minor position adjustments can be accomplished to account for the normal asymmetry that most women have. If the breasts are different sizes, saline implants can be adjusted to achieve better symmetry.Please wait until six months post op and then return to your original surgeon. Minor asymmetry is normal. Too vigorous surgical approaches may result in more expense, more scarring, and new complications.Good luck :)
