Visible implant creating shelf on only one breast. Is this something you've seen correct itself over time? (Photo)

Asked By:Nygirl1983 in Nyack, NY

I'm 5'5" 105lbs, 2 kids. Natural D b4 pregnancies. Have 375cc gummy bear implants over muscle.12 days post op. My right breast, slightly smaller pre op, has a visible shelf. My left is fine. This problem never appeared in my left breast. In your experience, is this something you've seen correct itself over time? Could this be from swelling? Will right ever look like left? Pls don't say it's too early to tell I know it's only been 12 days. I just want to know if this is a realistic expectation.

Answer: It does look as if you have some asymmetry with the right side being slightly more ridged in the upper portion.
