I was 32AA after breast augmentation, and I'm about 2 months post-op. I now have 325ccs mentor sillicone implants (smooth round, moderate plus profile). One breast is fuller and larger at the bottom. I can see the incisions as well. The other breast (right) is smaller. What is your opinion about what is going on? My doctor told me to wear the band and it will drop. Is this going to even itself out or should I be concerned?
Answer: Breasts are still uneven after implant augmentation surgery
Without photos (pre and post) it is difficult to tell the cause of your breast implant asymmetry. Most likely it reflects pre-existing asymmetry. I have attached a video of exercises if peformed may help the implants settile sooner. Wiat at least 6 months before turly assessing your breast results.

Answer: Breast Augmentation Thanks for your question! It can take up to 6 months for the implants to drop and settle into position. Give it some time. Reach out to your surgeon with any questions or concerns. Best wishes!

Answer: Asymmetry and Post-Operative Swelling It's not unusual for patients to note breast asymmetry immediately following breast augmentation surgery. This asymmetry can occur for a variety of reasons but is often related to swelling which takes time to resolve. It usually takes about 4 to 6 weeks for enough swelling to resolve to make aesthetic judgements possible. In your case, it's virtually impossible to make a recommendation without a picture or physical examination.At three months, the majority of patients are happy with their symmetry and aesthetic result. It's, therefore, important to be patient in the immediate post-operative period. It's also important to discuss these issues with your plastic surgeon. Your surgeon can rule out more serious problems such as hematoma formation, implant migration and other causes of post-operative asymmetry. Hopefully, he can alleviate your anxiety and ultimately make this a better experience for you.

Answer: Post op concerns The final shape of your breasts will start to look its best approximately three (3) months after surgery. It takes time for the skin and muscle to stretch and relax around the new implant. The breast will often look higher, firmer, and “less natural” in the first three (3) months. It can take up to a year to see your final result. Keep following your surgeon's post op instructions and heal well and evaluate your result after a few months.

Answer: Breast and symmetric healing after augmentation Thank you for your question and for sharing your photos. During the post-operative period the breast are swollen, and the breast implants appear in a much higher position. Over time they descend and fills out the lower half of the breast. In addition, it is not uncommon for one breast to be more swollen than the other and may even out with time (unless they were asymmetric in size to begin with). It may take several months for this to happen and can be encouraged with breast massage and compression. It may appear that the breast enlarges as the lower aspect of the breast fills out (at the expense of the upper portion of the breast).
