Do I have too much side boob? (photos)

Question

I feel like I have a lot more fullness on the outside of my breast in comparison to the cleavage. I'm wondering if they are going to move more inward once they settle, or if that's just how they are going to remain? I'm 2 months post-op, 5'4", 134 lbs, no kids, sientra textured round 385 CCs, under the muscle, inframammary incision. The photos show the fullness from the side compared to the cleavage. The right boob also has a noticeable flat spot, but is higher than left side. Thoughts on that?

Seems your pocket is a little tight and high too, maybe massaging helps but honestly I am not much optimistic that you could waive a revisional procedure in the future.

Your implants do not appear to be too far lateral on your chest. From the photos, it does appear like the pocket on the right breast is tighter on the inner aspect inferiorly which may be causing the implant to sit higher. Continue to follow up with your surgeon.

Based on the pics, it doesn't appear to me that you have too much "side boob", but I agree that you have some asymmetry with the right side higher than the left and some more fullness on that right side.  I would recommend following up with your plastic surgeon and convey your concerns so you can see what options you have.  Sometimes aggressive massage may help, but let your surgeon direct you on that.Good luck and take care,Dr. Howell

It appears the implants are not positioned too far to the side of your chest. The lower, inner portion of the pocket on the right breast does a appear tight, which displaces the right implant slightly upward and may take away some cleavage. It is hard to say if this will settle or improve over time. Best to follow up closely with your surgeon.

Steven Wallach, MD · Answer

The appearance of the implants are related to your overall anatomy. Your chest is wide in the photos.  Best to discuss with your surgeon.
