WORTH IT$7,300
I'm at 6 months post op now... and feeling like I have two different types of boobs. I think the left and the right have not dropped in the same way at all. Sure, they're better than they were before I started down this road - but I'm really not convinced that these are worth the $7300 and physical/emotional pain I went through. I haven't tried on bras yet, but I'm fairly certain they are different cup sizes and it's quite obvious to me that they are different when I'm wearing clothes, too.

Maybe you guys have a better opinion? Maybe things will still even out by the 1 year? Or some suggestions on how to proceed?

For 6 months? Your surgeon told you not to ? That's very strange. It needs support especially when healing. That could be why the one side dropped. I guess you can hope the other one follows.

It could be that your boobs were different sizes before the implant or just sat differently that's why it looks a bit different. Honestly no boobs are the exact same. I wouldn't worry to much about it. But I think your safe to wear sports bras to bed now and bras during the day.

I looked at your before pics and it shows that your boobs were like that before implants so any difference they had before are just going to show more with the implants in. I don't post pic of my nipple cause it's too personal for me but mine don't aline perfectly symmetric. I had different sizes to begin with and got different size implants. Look at other reviews or just google boobs images lol no one has exact same boob right to left . I don't think it's a big deal.

The first 3 months I had the strap and a compression bra. Then he wanted to help the left one drop more, so only light support if any.

My boobs were different before, but we never noticed it until the implants made everything more obvious. He put a larger implant in the right (lower) breast claiming that it had less tissue than the left. But he apparently did not take into account where they were previously sitting on my torso.

I know natural breasts are asymmetrical in some way. But I paid good money, I should think symmetry would be an unstated end goal!

Thank you for saying you don't think it's a big deal. I'm really trying to just accept it. They look much better now, I enjoy them. I don't think I want to do a revision as the first surgery was already pretty hard in me.

I see you only have 30cc difference in the other implant . I don't think that is enough to do much. I have 400 and 450 I think lol or 425 and 450 Uhm it says on my view I can't remember lmao and weather it be 25 or 50 cc it didn't make any difference one boob is defiantly a lot bigger. at a point I was unhappy and thinking wow I had this surgery and my boobs aren't even exactly the same yes it is a unstated end goal but then I realized ok the surgery is expensive and time consuming I wouldn't have another one to just try making my boobs identical. I love them now though when you focus and nit pick on anything you find faults and with this surgery and spending the money and time you think it should be this or that way it's totally understandable. I'm sorry you feel this way!! I went thru it tooo but at first I wanted volume at the end of the day. to even it out yes but I wasn't focused on that I didn't realize how much of difference my boobs were until I had the implant in! Then while healing I realized. Because size emphasize it. But how the implants work the more volume a difference shape of implant with more cc so this was the best fit of sizes that could fit my body and go together. Or so I think, I just know I trust my surgeon and like his work so he did what was best option for me. And even without the size difference the boobs can sit in different spots on the chest which the surgeon can do nothing really about. I judge more how they look in a bra or clothes because that's really how everyone sees them me or my boyfriend see it without not even that often lol! So try on some bras or bikinis and then see how you feel And by the wayyy guys are like oh I can grab the boob omg it fits in my hand ahhh hot squishy yummmm Not like omg wtf are here boobs not identical ?? Oh noo get her away from me!!!!! Hahahaha I hope you see your ps soon and if it can be manually lowered to get you happier it's possible!!

Just kerp massaging the higher up breast more agressivly than the dropped one. It could take up to a full year for full result. After that if it still highy ou may need revision

Absolutely no offense to A.604 but the asymmetry right now is definitely due to the left implant not dropping all the way..it is not because you were previously asymmetrical (however that may be WHY you are not dropping at the same rate). You can see its nearly 50% closer to your collar bone than your dropped implant. I think once the left one drops they will be very similar in size. I agree with a previous poster that you should just try to vigorously massage the higher implant.. And Def contact your PS as they may have something surgically they can do to help it drop (if that's needed) I'm sorry this is happening to you, dear!!! And for the stress it causes.

Look at her before pics. The breasts were sitting very different. But ya no one on here are experts go to your ps and see forsure that's the safest bet. He will tell you 100% if it needs to drop and what can help that or if you have capsular contracture (don't think so) or it's normal. I think it's normal by how your boobs were previously and you used same size implant for both.

They look really good. Has your higher breast dropped since this status? I'm having the same issue and I'm 5 months postop. I see my surgeon Wed.

I was having an issue with my left one dropping until the 8 month mark when my surgeon used botox injections into the pec muscle itself to get it to release the implant! I noticed small changes over night but within a week there was a marked difference. The only thing I'm waiting on now is the fluffing process! They aren't symmetrical, but they are SO much better now. :D

I had a check-in with my PS on Tuesday. I've been feeling a bit anxious about how things were going because it is obvious to me that the right implant is moving along a lot better than the left. He confirmed that they both look different, yes, but both look amazing and everything is ok. Going back to my pre pictures I can see that there was asymmetry to begin with. But he put the bigger implant in the right breast, the one that was already sitting a bit lower on my body. I'm kind of grumpy about that, thinking that if they were equal sized or a bigger implant in the left then they might *appear* more equal.

Oh well. They are healthy and still changing all the time. I'm pretty happy with them most of the time now!

Finally LOVING the girls almost all the time. I was having a super hard time getting good sleep. I guess I'm more of a side sleeper than I thought. Then, my boyfriend rolled up one of his thick wool socks and stuck it in my cleavage, in my bra. Now I can roll on to my side in the night and the top boob is supported enough that I am able to SLEEP that way!! HALLELUJAH!

The girls are really squishy and seem to be finally dropping completely down in to place. The fluffing has been happening some, but I can tell by the tightness of my skin that there is still quite a bit left. :D

I am slowly, so slowly, getting back into my fitness routines. Because my job is so physical, there are times when I can tell that my pecs and surrounding muscles are grumpy and feeling over worked. But those days are fewer now. Progress is being made, I can see it, and most of the time I don't complain.
