How long does it take for breast implants to even out?

Asked By:xodarlinga in Las Vegas, NV

I'm 5 weeks post-op. My left has been noticeably higher (1/2 inch) than my right since day one. They're both looking better, but I just want them to even out. How long should this take? Some doctors are saying 6 months. Others say the final result is about 6 weeks. I don't understand how there can be such a discrepancy among plastic surgeons regarding this question.
