Will my Asymmetric Breasts from Breast Implants Even out Eventually?

Thank you for the photos. You are still very early in your post operative course. Breast implants tend to start dropping into place after 3 to 4 weeks. They usually will get to their final position in 6 to 12 months. One will usually drop faster than the other, and the shape may go through changes. Please follow your Board Certified Plastic Surgeon's post op instructions. For example; we like message, but some surgeons will have you wait, or do it in a specific manner.   Please also let them know your thoughts and concerns.

It requires approximately 2 to 3 months following your surgery, but up to one year to see the end result of the final shape and size of your breasts. The two breasts commonly heal quite differently so #assymetry is not unusual. One breast may swell more, feel more uncomfortable, or have a different initial shape. After complete #healing, they will be more similar and natural. Your doctor may require you to move or massage the implants within the breast pockets during the #postoperative period. #Textured implants do not require breast massage. You will be informed about this at your post-operative visit. You must have patience, but if this causes concern, ask questions of your doctor or the nursing staff.

Hi and thank you for your question.It can take between 3 and 6 months for the breasts to heal, drop and settle into positon, this can happen at different rates. Continue to follow all instructions and contact your surgeon with any questions or concerns. Best of luck!

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!

It
is quite common for the two breasts to heal differently. One may swell more,
one may feel more uncomfortable, or the shapes may differ initially. After
complete healing, they should look more similar and natural. Patience is
required, but if you are concerned, ask questions to your doctor or the nursing
staff.
