1 week post-op, will I now always have one boob bigger than the other? (photos)

August 12, 2014
Asked By:Ashleesx in Northampton, PA

Nurse says I'm fully healed & all swelling has gone. Went bra shopping & found left boob is noticeably bigger than right in bra's. Left had 25cc more even though he said had same amount of breast tissue, due to muscle in right being bigger, making right appear bigger. I couldnt see it but now I can but it's other way around! Does it look as though there is more 'D&Fing' for right to do or is this always the size now? My vest top strap falls off right side due to not being as tight that side!
