Thought the left one was high! Procedures to release muscle/pocket!

So my doc did a procedure on Saturday because my left one was not dropping. He went in and released the muscle to allow the implant to go into the pocket better. It was in office under local. It already looks awesome! I love it and it looks so much bigger! But now the right looks much smaller and s different shape. It's even noticeable in clothes. Do you think the right just needs to drop more and they will even out?? I'm 3 and a half months. Anyone else go through something similar? Any feedback is appreciated!

How long did they take to even out?

Here they are from various angles. The left is still higher but overall feeling better about them. They still look small in clothes without a bra but am still a 32ddd! Went again to VS and the 32dd was too small in the cup. Did anyone else have one boob that took longer to drop? My left is still higher so they look a bit lopsided. How long did it take for yours to even out? Thanks all!!

Hello! I think the reason they may appear to be smaller in your eyes is due to the nature of the moderate profile, ie less projection than the HP's. To be honest I went with 533 mod+ 7 years ago and they are too big wide and heavy so I am looking to downsize, I'd love to be your size I think they look great and perfectly proportional! When they are fully dropped they will be even better. Has your dr advised you to massage to help them along?

Thank you! These are mod plus. Part of me wishes I would have gone HP but my doc never suggested it. I wanted more cleavage so that is probably why--so they'd be closer together. Yes--doc said only to massage down into the pocket. I am surprised they haven't dropped more at almost nine weeks now! The right has dropped more than the left. And, thank you so much :)

So I am six weeks post and they have definitely softened but still have a lot of dropping and fluffing to do and hopefully they will even out more too. They look great in bras but still small in clothes without a bra so still just being patient! When did you all start wearing wire bras? My PS said I could now if I wanted but it is best if you wait to 12 weeks to wear them daily.

Hello, just finished reading your journey! It's extremely helpful thank u. I am in the boat you were (without the breastfeeding) I did that pre BA. I was 12 was before I wore a wire bra. My ps said to wait til then and also suggested that the more I kept a bra on,day and night, the better

I'm 5 months post op now. I was a deflated A cup and at best a B cup before kids. I was conservative and went with 350cc. They look nice but they just don't look very remarkable to me. I don't really know what size would make me content since I don't want too big either. I think on my frame my ps would go up to 500 cc. I have an appointment with him on March 15 to see about a revision. Bummer because I will have to dig out at least another $6000. Also I'm having a bit more muscle animation than I would prefer. I didn't even know this was a 'thing' with under muscle implants.... Are u feeling good about the size lately? They seem so squished when they are first put in. I don't feel like mine project very well. They still look sort of flattened instead of roundish. I don't mind the kind of roundish slightly fake look that some try to avoid haha!

I'm feeling better about the size but wouldn't go out without a bra on. And as soon as I am able I will wear a wired push up. Unfortunately I can't afford a revision but I'm not sure if I'd go as big as 550 which is what my doc said I'd need to do to make it worth it. Did yours drop fully? What profile did you get? From reading other girls review it seems it can take 6-12 months to fully drop and fluff!

I think they're pretty close to being dropped as much as they will. They are HP. I wish I wasn't in this position. I wish I had just gone with a 400-450 to begin with. I wish they were bigger but not tons bigger and it seems like you have to get a much larger implant to make a dif although yours do look like they will be quite a bit fuller than they were
