I am 3 weeks post op. 750 on one side 700 on the other. Over the muscle... One side is noticeably bigger than the other and its driving me crazy. I want to get the smaller side redone to match and would like to know how long is normal to wait to go through surgergy again?

Answer: 3-6 months prior to implant change Thanks for your question. I like for the pocket to have a minimum of 3 months to settle and to get an idea of the implant volume asymmetry. It would have to be very pronounced to go in early (3 months). With such large implant volumes any small asymmetry becomes very pronounced so this is not too uncommon. The risk in going back in to add more volume is that you will weaken the pocket and have a higher likelihood of implant malposition and asymmetry. Make sure that you and your surgeon are on the same page and that your expectations will be met. Best of Luck!

Answer: Three months It is generally recommended that you wait at least three months before any breast revisions after a breast augmentation to allow for healing and swelling to come down.
