Its been a year that i got my breast augmentation but ever since, i experianced more pain/muscle spasms on my left boob. However now after a year i noticed my right breast is nice and perky while my left kinda dropped to the side, is this normal or should i consult my surgeon. Did my surgeon not do my augmentation right? I hate how my left boob just looks like when you grab a water baloon from the top, i have hardly any definition on the top, rather than the right is nice perky and round.
Answer: Asymmetry You may have heard the expression that "breasts are sisters not twins". Almost everyone has asymmetry to their breasts. Healing often is different for the right versus left when recovering from augmentation. I encourage you to speak with your surgeon about your concerns. Review your pre operative photos together as well as your final results. Together you can determine if you want further intervention to address them.

Answer: Breast Asymmetry Following Breast Augmentation Thank you for your question. It is common to have asymmetry following breast augmentation surgery. The chest wall and breast volume/shape are not perfectly symmetric, and patients may notice these asymmetries more following augmentation surgery. There could be several other contributing factors to breast asymmetry following breast augmentation. A soft tissue capsule normally forms around breast implants and in some cases this capsule can result in differences in shape of the implants over time. Sometimes the breast implant can displace laterally as there is less resistance of the soft tissues in this location and in certain instances this can be improved with surgery to adjust the breast implant pocket with sutures. It would be best to discuss with your surgeon as he/she can determine what the reason is and if it is possible to improve the symmetry.

Answer: Surgery I'm sure your surgeon did an excellent job. Your implant has shifted a little to the side. This can happen with implants placed behind the muscle. Since you do not use your two arms equally, the muscles will not push on the implants equally. Discuss this with your surgeon if you want. Your pocket could be tightened.

Answer: Breast asymmetry after augmentation Breast asymmetry after breast augmentation can have multiple causes. Breasts are almost always different to begin with. Even breasts that appear naturally perfectly symmetric are not if you look carefully. Natural breast asymmetry results from differences in soft tissue volume and volume distribution, differences in nipple position, differences in skin characteristics, and differences in chest wall shape (ribs and pec muscles).

Answer: Breast asymmetry after augmentation Only on the basis of in person evsaluation, a surgeon can find possible reason for asymmetry. Since you did not post your preoperative photos, it is possible that a small asymmetry was present before surgery but your surgeon did not address that issue with you. It would be in your best interest to see your surgeon and discuss your problem. Good luck.
