I recently had silicone breast implants about 7 weeks ago. I have the left breast which is fuller more side cleavage and the nipple is higher than on the right side its not as full and the nipple is much lower.
The right breast had problem closing the incision which was in the nipple. Will it even out? I also have rippling underneath the right breast but only when I bend forward. Thanks!

Answer: Will my asymmetric breasts eventually even out? Thank you for your question. Generally speaking, breast symmetry is rarely present before surgery and rarely present after surgery. The goal for patients who present with marked breast asymmetry pre-operatively is to gain slightly more symmetry afterwards, but patients should be aware that the expectation of absolute asymmetry is unrealistic. Since you are early on in the immediate post-operative period the breast asymmetry that you are experiencing is quite common. Breast implants do have the tendency to settle at different rates and sometimes this is due to handedness, pre-operative breast size and/or the size of the implant placed. I would recommend that you follow up with your operating surgeon to discuss your concerns and what your expectations should be moving forward. Your operating surgeon is always your best resource and each surgeon has their own technique and pre- and post-operative regimens. I hope you find this helpful and best of luck!
