Almost at 5months post op
Still high on the left side unfortunatey. I'd have to say that as of this point I'm rather disappointed. Took out a loan to get these done and now I'll be paying this off for years and I'm not even totally happy.

Your breast crease in before pics the one looks higher to begin with. I think your breasts look great! I made sure to find every flaw in my breasts before my surgery since implants make exaggerate every flaw, so I was prepared. I can barely see the asymmetry in ur breasts sorry ur unhappy.

We are in the same boat as far as a difference in R & L breast. I knew a BA can exaggerate those things so I THOUGHT I was prepared but I've been fixating on it for the past 16 days since I had surgery ;) I have to say that seeing your pics early on and now basically 4 months later, I've decided to just let go of my negative mentality because I think your boobs look great!!! Seriously.
I was really paranoid about my Dr insisting on the same size silicone implant but his reasoning made sense (as did the additional reading I did on the dilemma) so I accepted it pre BA. Then after the BA I kept kicking myself for not insisting on doing 350/375 instead of jus 400cc ( I also feel like I'm too big but my DH insists they don't look too much on my slender frame and will be perfect once they soften and drop over the next several weeks). The other day I decided I need to stop driving myself crazy. I don't have a crystal ball and hindsight can very deceptive too lol
Seeing your results this AM has been really reassuring! Ive decided to accept that I'm still going to have a little bit of asymmetry. Plus, my PS told me pre-op that my asymmetry was really mild otherwise he would consider different sizes. We are our own worst enemy! We see every little thing and analyze the hell out of it - I'm reminded of this constantly because I have two teenagers and I'm really surprised at the things they pick apart on themselves when I hardly notice even when they point it out to me ;)
I'm now focusing on what I like about my results. FE I'm glad to have so much fullness when I was flat and deflated before. I've already worn tops sans bra that I could never have worn before! I was always WAY more self conscious about my deflated breasts than the fact that they were slight different when naked. And most everyone is a little different! In the end, if I really, really don't like my end results in 9-12 months then there is something that can be done...however a fix could just bring about a different dislike - the grass is always greener lol
In the end, I will absolutely embrace a little asymmetry over capsular contracture, double bubbles, ruptures, or any of those other much bigger problems! :D

Love the way they are dropping, they are looking so good!! Hopefully they will even out, but truly, you have to really be looking hard to see any asymmetry. They look great!

Really?! Thank you. Does it look like I've bottomed out on the right ?! I can't tell I stare at them so much I feel my eyes playing tricks on me

congrats! you look great. It's normal for swelling to be lopsided, that's probably what's going on with you. By 6 months you should be relaxed enough to really have a true size. It took me 6 months before I stopped freaking out. And my right boob was harder than my left for the first 5 months.

as they soffented, the swelling went down and they got a tad bit smaller. Post op I was an E cup for about 5 months. By month 8 I was DDD, and now I am between a DD and a DDD. So, I would say that at about 12 months post op, with swelling reduced, they will go down at least a cup or two, as long as you are not gaining weight. Massaging the muscles around the breasts helped a lot. Until I could retrain my lats to engage my serratus muscles, the boobs were hard as rocks. Once that happened, the pectoral muscles relaxed and the boobs began to soften and shrink.

They are already too small I don't want them to shrink! I'm a 32dd now I better still be at least a d. God I'm so disappointed.

Well, it really looks like the DD is there because of all the swelling above the nipple line. You will know for sure in another 6 months. You look fabulous! I have to laugh because I am still getting used to mine. Some days I love them, other days I hate them (the size). You have a perfect figure and look like a pin up model. Just enjoy them and play! Show them off a bit and let others' reactions entertain you.
