4 weeks ago I had smooth saline implants (325 cc.) placed under the muscle. I was told at my 1st week appt. that one implant had "dropped" but not the other one. The breast with the implant that "dropped" (left) looks bigger/fuller than the other, and the nipple is at a lower position. I understand I may have to wait months to see the implant "drop", but would the (right) breast look bigger/fuller like the other one once the implant drops? I am worried because I do not think that's the case.

Answer: 4 Weeks Post-op - Uneven Breasts Thank you for submitting your question and photo. Your very early in your recovery from breast augmentation surgery. Your implants will soften and your breasts will change over the next several weeks. Final results take 6 months. Discuss your concerns with your surgeon. Best wishes.

Answer: Asymmetry Not Uncommon--Be Patient! It’s not unusual for patients to note breast asymmetry immediately following breast augmentation.This asymmetry can occur for a variety of reasons, but is most often related to swelling which takes time to resolve.It usually takes about four to six weeks for enough swelling to resolve to make aesthetic judgements possible.In some cases, the asymmetry may have been present pre-operatively.At three months, the majority of patients are happy with their symmetry and aesthetic result.It’s therefore important to be patient in the immediate post-operative period.It’s also important to discuss these issues with your plastic surgeon.Your surgeon can rule out more serious problems such as hematoma formation and hopefully alleviate your anxiety.This will ultimately make this a better experience for you.

Answer: Wait It is hard to say exactly how your breast will look once it drops, but it will take on a more natural contour, with a fullness in the lower portion.
