I chose to get breast implants to improve my overalll self image and self esteem.

Pros:
I fill out shirts better
I look more feminine/womenly

Cons:
They are very different from one another
I cannot go braless because it is obvious one sits higher
I cannot wear a bathing suit because it is obvious
I feel more self conscious then when I didn't have implants

I think you results look great. I have the same issue with one implant sitting a bit lower. It's a subtle difference to everyone else but it bothers me. The implant can be repositioned but that does require further surgery. That's what I'm looking into. Good luck

Hey you...I'm hearing ya! Hang in there. It's early days...sometimes the bigger the implant...the longer they take to settle. I am just 8 weeks p/o myself. I had 335 unders and my lefty rides high...but in the last week it has dropped a little. I think you look great! Good luck...G

I overlooked that you are only 2 months out. It does take time for the implants to drop sometimes even 6-12 months before they finally settle. Hopefully you'll be happier as time goes on.

I hear, too, that it takes some time for the breasts to settle. If you look at pictures of people a few weeks after surgery and compare them with a year later they look sooo much better. I haven't had breast augmentation done. I'm trying to do research right now and don't know many people from NM to ask. Who was your surgeon, if you don't mind my asking.

Hey Mel85, My Surgeon was Dr. Chester Sakura. At first I didn't recommend him because his communication skills are not very good. However, I do not blame him for my BA because it can happen in the hands of the best surgeon. He has done a few of my friends and there's look amazing. However, I went and saw him yesterday and showed him my concerns and he told me to give it one more month (they like you to wait a total of 3 months) and he is convinced it will drop however if it doesn't he will do a revision. If you are looking for plastic surgeons in Abq, NM, Dr. William Loutfy is really great too. I almost went with him. A few of my friends did and some of my family. Good luck!

It is the same situation I have. Two different levels and now I also have scar tissue harder in my right breast (already lower) so I can see it much more. I feel you.
