Follow-up question: 6.5 months post-op breast implant asymmetry & soreness (Photo)

Dear Forceful332443,
I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what is wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.

Hello!
It is hard to discern right v left. One breast looks tighter than the opposite which looks softer and more "filled out" with lower crease. The higher tighter breast I am assuming is the one you are working on with the band, massage and ultrasound. It does appear that the one breast is contracted and I am glad to hear it is becoming less so with the treatments you are doing. Massage and the band are great. Some patients take Singulair medication to help as well - this would need to be prescribed by your surgeon.
It is normal for you to feel "something" with lifting and working out, particularly if your implants were placed behind your pectoralis muscles. This will be your "new normal" and is totally fine.
I would definitely recommend that you run your questions and concerns by your plastic surgeon. Best wishes to you!
Best wished to you!

Although it isn't normal to have persistent pain 6 months after breast augmentation, sometimes it can persist that long for very active women. Because it's been more than 6 months and because your breast implants aren't symmetric, I think it would be a very good idea to talk to your surgeon about both issues. Then he/she can give you a good idea of what is going on and how to move forward to correct it. Best of luck!

You have some bottoming out of the lower breasts and I would avoid external ultrasound treatments because it could make it worse. Do wear a good supporting bra with underwire and avoid upper body weights for now.

At six months post op you are not likely to see much change to the breasts. I encourage you to visit with your surgeon to discuss your concerns. Some mild soreness with activity is normal and should improve over time. Make sure you increase your activity gradually to avoid injury.

Based on your photos and your two separate questions, I would return to see your operative surgeon. Discuss all these issues. It appears your breast were different from this preoperative surgery time so the results could be slightly as symmetric, but again best to see your surgeon again.
