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

CONTACT NOW Answer: Small asymmetries Without a preoperative photograph, it's difficult to ascertain whether this is a magnification of a previously asymmetric breast. If the incisions are just in the crease, and are the same on both sides, then that would be my best guess. If one incision has started to ride up towards the areola, away from the infra-mammary crease, then it may be an early sign of bottoming out. I recommend that you follow-up with your operating plastic surgeon. Best of luck.

Answer: Breast Implants: 1 seems higher and round and the other one seems lower and oval. Thank you for your question. I do see the asymmetry that you mention. Please check your preoperative photos to see if the right breast and crease was slightly lower than the left. It is important to understand that 88% on women have asymmetrical breasts which could explain the asymmetry that you see. Your result really looks very nice. Please follow-up with your plastic surgeon for an examination.

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
