I am 8 weeks post opp. 400cc unders. As you can see my left one has dropped and fluffed but my right just doesn't want to move. The skin under it feels really tight and the implant feels hard still but I have no pain. Any advice please altho I under stand it's still early days

Answer: Breast augmentation results It would have been helpful to review your pre operative photograph to determine whether or not you had any asymmetry prior to your breast augmentation. In any case, its normal for your breasts to soften and settle at their own individual rate - it can take three to six months as a minimum for this to happen. Asymmetry and differences in appearance and sensation are all usually normal at this stage. Implants in general don’t drop but rather breast tissue softens and settles. A persisting asymmetry could be either due to pre-existing asymmetry, the implants placed at different heights or a combination of the two. Its still relatively early days for you so be patient and continue to keep your plastic surgeon updated about your progress.

Answer: Right breast implant not dropping? I am sorry to see that you are unhappy. There appears to be a very large size asymmetry-if you have saline implants there could be a deflation n the smaller side. Was there asymmetry pre op with the one side larger and lower? If the smaller side is very hard and the implant does not move when squeezed you may have a capsular contracture. It is important that you see your plastic surgeon for an exam and diagnosis.
