Concerned about asymmetry 3 months Post-op. Will my left breast drop more and even out with right? (Photo)

Question

Hi! I'm 3 months out, 450cc hp silicone submuscular. After surgery my right breast was the smaller, higher one. But at around 2 weeks it's like the right just took off and the left has yet to catch up, and is now the smaller, higher breast. My right is fuller, rounder and has more definition (contoured). My left just has a different shape and is noticeably smaller, which really bothers me. Is it likely my left will drop some more and they'll even out? Or is this my final result? Thank you!

I've definitely noticed that if someone is right handed, the right implant drops quicker.  Make sure that one stays supported right where it is for the next 3-6 months. The left certainly can catch up and you may want to start massaging it down under the direction of your surgeon.  Of note, however, 450cc is quite a large implant for your frame and your body may have pushed your right implant lower and thereby giving it a larger appearance.  Best Wishes!!

I don't really see any significant problems three months after breast augmentation. If changes are still ensuing you should wait until the healing process is complete.

Thank you for your pictures. At three months is unlikely that your significant change in your breast. Your result is not bad overall. I would seek reevaluation by a plastic surgeon if you truly have one breast that is bigger than the other and seek revision for that breast. Good luck.

You had some asymmetry to begin with and guess what?  you also have some post-op. This is normal and the breast look good. Best of luck.

Appears you either had chest wall asymmetry or breast asymmetry  prior opt both. Now you need a larger implant on the left to be placed by 50 to 100 ccs
