I've had my breast implants for 2 1/2 months One seems higher and more round and the other one seems lower and more oval is this normal
Answer: Different breasts? Hello Kitten. I see the difference between your breasts and I think there's at least two possibilities: In the first, you started out with asymmetry (before photos would help) and you're still having some asymmetry. No two breasts are ever exactly the same and implants do not "correct" asymmetry - they only make it better. Another possibility is that you need to massage more on the higher side and/or wear an elastic breast band to help the implant settle. A third possibility is that you're having the beginning of capsule contracture. You should see your plastic surgeon so he/she can address your concerns and make an appropriate diagnosis. Best wishes, Dr. ALDO

Answer: Breast Augmentation - Post Op Swelling? Thank you for your question. You are still early in the post-operative period. It typically takes 3 - 6 months for the swelling to subside and and implants to settle into proper position. Please discuss your concerns with your board certified plastic surgeon. Also, make sure you follow all of your plastic surgeons post-operative instructions regarding level of physical activity and use of a support bra. Hope this helps and good luck with your recovery.

Answer: Breast implants shape Thanks for your question. Based on the one photo you submit I really can't see what you are seeing. They look fairly symmetrical to me. Other photo angles would be helpful in that assessment. Please remember Slight breast asymmetries will always exists post op because 99.9% of patients have asymmetrical breasts to begin with. Dr Maz

Answer: Breast Implants: 1 seems higher and round and the other one seems lower and oval. Thank you for your picture and question. Keep in mind that you are less than three months out from surgery and there are still likely some changes that will take place before you are looking at your final result. I would say that based on the appearance in the picture, you have a very nice symmetrical result and you should be very happy. No two breasts are identical, and the goal is not to make them identical......we are making sisters, not twins. Most often, if there are very small differences in appearance after surgery, and you compare this to your pre-op photos, these small differences were there in your normal pre-op anatomy, they have just been amplified by the augmentation. Hope this helps!

Answer: Breast asymmetry concern after breast augmentation surgery… I am sorry to hear about your concerns but I can not appreciate a significant difference between your breasts based on the posted photograph. Of course, your plastic surgeon will always be your best resource when it comes to accurate assessment. Best wishes.
