Right (Dominant Side) Won't Drop, 4 Weeks Post Op, Is That Normal?

You are one month after surgery. You have at least two months to continue to heal. The implants will settle. Your breasts shape will reveal itself at that time. Best Wishes.

Although your concerns regarding breast asymmetry are understandable, patients who undergo breast augmentation/lifting surgery should understand that it may take several months before the final outcome of the procedure performed is visualized. There are many factors involved with this operation, as opposed to breast augmentation surgery alone.

 Of course, your plastic surgeon will always be your best resource when it comes to diagnosing problems that may cause breast asymmetry.

 Best wishes; hopefully you will be pleased with the long-term outcome of the procedure performed.

You are very early in your healing phase at only 4 weeks.  Because everyone is different, breast shape and size can change anywhere from 3-6 months so try to be patient, I know it's hard.  At around the 6 month mark, re-evaluate and if you are still unhappy, go over your options with your surgeon then.    ac

It is always best to ask you surgeon in person. I have no photos to review that are before or after surgery. I will say that one month is too soon to see the final result.

You are very early in the postop process. Don't rush to judgment, continue to followup with your plastic surgeon and see what happens in the next couple of months. Healing is a process and often one side heals at a different rate than the other.

After placing breast implants and tightening the skin with a lift, your tissues need to change to mold to their new shape. This includes stretching of the tissue that's there, as well as growth. Growth takes more time, up to 3 - 6 months. At four weeks out, you're still early in this process. Patience is a virtue here.

You are still too early in your post operative course to determine if you will have problems with symmetry.  Continue to massage the breasts and give more time.  It is non unusual for one side to drop faster that the other. 

4   WEEKS     is   a  short   period  after   a  mastoplasty   ,  still  at  this   time   the    implant   is accomadating ,     and    the  skin   is  still    to  tight  ,  after  ,   4     to  6 month     things  start   changing ,   in shape  and      drop ,     because    the   skin  releases  ,    So  still  be  patient   this  wont  be   your    final  results,  if  after  this  period   you  are    still unsatisfied     then  is    a  good   time   by  then   to  talk  to    your  doctor , 

Since you are only 4 weeks post op, give it some time.  After you have healed, if your breast are uneven, you will need to discuss breast revision with your Plastic Surgeon.
