6 weeks post-op my right breast is bigger and still feels tight. Is this normal and will it correct itself? (photos)

Congrats on your surgery.  You are very early in the recovery phase and just have to be patient for a bit.  It takes about 4 months before you can really accurately assess your results.  For now I would follow your surgeons recommendations.The implants still need to drop and fluff and once they have done that you can see how things will look like.Some asymmetries that patients have before surgery become more apparent after the surgery.  For example, you may have had some volume discrepancy between the two sides, almost everyone does and in some cases we correct this the best we can by putting in two different size implants.  As far as nipple position, again that is also something that becomes more apparent after surgery.  If there was any difference in the nipple position, like one being higher than the other, once the implants are placed this difference does become amplified.Hope that helps. 

Dear Original9152,
I understand your concern and it is quite normal to be concerned about the outcome following a breast augmentation surgery. However, you are still in the very early stages of the healing process at 6 weeks  post op.
Your will need to be patient at this moment and follow what your surgeon has instructed you to do post operatively.At the early stage of the healing process, the tissues around the implants are still swollen. Once the swelling subsides and the implants drop to their final position, you will be able to see the final result of your breast augmentation surgery.
