7 weeks post op, uneven breasts, and not dropping on one side?

I appreciate your question.



Right now, you are very early on in the
post op recovery period. It will take 3-6 months for you to feel comfortable
having implants in your body and for them to settle. This time allows for you
to physically and psychologically adapt to your new body image. There are many
variables that contribute to a breast augmentation's final result. Preop size
and shape, IMF location, location of the implants and type of implant. Patients
heal at different rates and each breast will sometimes heal at a different
rate. Rest, relax, recover and heal. Express your concerns to your surgeon so
he/she can examine you. Then reassess final result at 6 months.



The best way to assess and give true
advice would be an in-person exam.

Please see a board-certified plastic
surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative breast surgery.



Best of luck!Dr. Schwartz

Thank you for your question.  Without photos and more importantly, an in-person evaluation, it is nearly impossible to tell you how you have progressed in the healing process.  I can tell you though that it is not uncommon for the breasts to heal at different rates after a breast augmentation.  I tell my patients that they should wait at least three months before assessing the results of their surgeries as the breasts need to continue to heal, reduce in swelling and drop into place.  The best source of information regarding your post-op journey will be your operating surgeon.  Continue to follow his/her instructions as you move forward in the healing process to ensure optimal results.All the best,Dr. ResultsMiami, FL

Thank you for your question.The two #breasts commonly heal quite differently. One breast may #swell
more, feel more uncomfortable, or have a different initial #shape. After
complete #healing, they will be more similar and natural. This initial healing usually takes 2-3 months, but may take up to a full year.  You must have
patience, but if this causes concern, ask questions of your #boardcertified plastic surgeon.

Hello,It is not uncommon that at 7 weeks you would still have some settling and evening out to do. I typically advise my patients that they will need to wait 4-6 months to see your final results. share any concerns about your healing with your surgeon.All the best 

Hello, it can take several months for implants to settle, and sometimes they do this at different rates.  If you are concerned it may be worthwhile to request followup with your plastic surgeon.

Thank you for your question and congratulations on your recent procedure! You are still in the healing process and want to continue your massaging and stretching.  Your implants will begin to settle and become more a part of you around your third month. Don't hesitate to follow up with your surgeon should you continue to have additional concerns. Good luck!

I would suggest meeting with your surgeon and asking these questions. After he/she examines you, your surgeon can give you a better idea what is happening. However, you do have two different breasts, and the implants do not always settle at the same time.
