Revision on One Side - Breasts Now Uneven

July 5, 2011
Asked By:Norcalgal

I underwent breast augmentation last year. My left breast settled into a beautiful position right away, but the right remained much higher/firmer for 7+ months. 3 weeks ago, my surgeon performed a pocket revision/capsulectomy on the right side. Now that side appears lower, fuller, and softer. I just saw my surgeon and he attributed it to swelling. Could this all be due to swelling, or is it a permanent difference due to removing the scar tissue? Will this even out over time? Thank you!
